The War on outsourcing could set off a civil war in China because their labor force is shrinking and pension liabilities are expanding. (Actual labor force size is much less than the 16-65 calculation used in most data. Chinese retirement ages are 55 for women and 60 for men.)

Negotiating lower drug prices here will increase drug prices in much of the rest of the world because we subsidize the world's drug research. In other words the EU and Canada will take a big hit.

Discouraged and underemployed workers are such a huge hunk of the population UE could rise for two years easy.
