Isolationism in America

Isolationism, although impractical in modern times, has ideas that could be used to better ourselves today. The United States best exemplifies how Isolationism could be put back in place and used effectively in government. Throughout our history, we have been on our own to fend for ourselves both economically and politically. It helps that we were blessed with resources that many countries do not have to support ourselves and located between many natural defenses such as the oceans. It could be suggested that the United States is in the perfect location for Isolationism. Sadly, in the past one hundred years we have slowly slipped away from this policy. Now we carry ourselves as interventionists(a country that wants to intervene and police the world) and despite our abundant natural resources, we squander it away for foreign products. This could all change if the United States government went back to its previous ways. Issues that involve government such as energy, pollution, and most importantly foreign policy would be amended to suit us better as a whole. Ultimately, we must look at all the options when it comes to how our government handles certain situations, so why not try to use isolation for once?
