More BS from Paul Craig Roberts..
Do you have something intelligent to say in response to cold, hard facts ? Do we need more brainless cheerleading from you ?
BTW: Paul Craig Roberts is the Supply Side economist who worked for Donald Reagan (Treasury Sec.) in the early 80's, and drafted the Kemp-Roth tax cuts during the Reagan Administration.
He also worked in the Cato Institute for about 4 years.
Before you call something BS, maybe you will come up with some alternate facts. I doubt you can. Where are the new manufacturing jobs? Not to mention restoring skilled manufacturing engineers and machinists to a society that wants law degrees.
And if the dollar crashes, just HOW will the U.S. suddenly start manufacturing things again for itself when all of the machine tools have been auctioned off to China?
Do you even know why Thomas Jefferson switched emphatically from being an ardent advocate for free trade, and became an industrial protectionist?
The raving loonies in our government are playing global economic musical chairs. And when the music stops...the U.S. will be left standing without anything for its fundament. Every time one of you pop off with your dithering anti-U.S. industry misreprentations, they are smiling widely in Bejing. You are very useful to them.
Ah!
A shoot the messenger type chimes in with the blame the victim crowd!
"More BS from Paul Craig Roberts.."
Would you care to elaborate?
Do you think Roberts quoted the jobs report incorrectly?
Do you have a specific complaint, or do you just troll?
You are the nobody.
U.S. manufacturing lost another 24,000 jobs in June. A country that doesnt manufacture doesnt need many engineers. And the few engineering jobs available go to foreigners.
Might be "BS" to the shallow brained, but Roberts states the obvious and unfortunate truth. Once again, Paul Craig Roberts syndicates nationally, in part due to his reputation and the respect he ahs earned--you are the nobody.
"More BS"
You may call it BS, but Ronald Reagan did not when Doctor Roberts was in his administration and neither does Congress whenever they have called on him as a congressional witness.
As a former econ major, I can tell you that is correct. He is full of sh*t. It is very typical for service jobs as he describes to be filled in June...to serve the tourist season. Very few professional jobs are filled from june through the end of august. Just before Labor Day the professional and financial services jobs pick up. Roberts is just a bush hater skewing numbers to suit his agenda.
I agree. Roberts "fried his brain" several years ago.
