Bring back US jobs, from China and elsewhere.
We have squandered several generations worth of productivity, and now face ruin. I’m serious.
Bring back US jobs.
Now.
Convince our youth they shouldn’t all be stockbrokers, basketball players or gubmint workers.
If Obama really wanted to “level the playing field”, he would tax Chinese imports and leave internet sales alone. That’s about the only thing that will bring those lost jobs and revenues back. He won’t though. Remember, we had negative GDP last quarter until he had the statistics revised. also, a $15.86 trillion GDP and a $17 trillion debt means debt is 107% of GDP. I’d say this so called “free trade” isn’t working and, as such, it’s getting tougher to make the smoot hawley argument against tariffs. No amount of logic and reason will change the course of this ship though. We are doomed to hit the iceberg even though we can all see it coming.
