Implications are determined by human actions of gamers who play game of economy. Rules are not that flexible, if people buy imported stuff, they create trade deficit that ultimately causes an effect. If people change behavior, overall economy results changes, but rules do not change. This is why US crisis can't just be solved by printing money to compensate deficits.
