A Generation of Politically Economic Re-education: Wall Street -vs- Main Street…(Trump's vision)
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 2/15/2016 | Sundance

Posted on 02/15/2016 7:04:39 AM PST by GilGil

What you will find in all of Donald Trump’s positions, is a paradigm shift he necessarily understands must take place in order to accomplish the long-term goals for the U.S. citizen/worker as it relates to “entitlements” or “structural benefits”.

All other candidates are beginning their policy proposals with a fundamentally divergent perception of the U.S. economy. They are working with, and retaining the outlook of, a U.S. economy based on “services”; a service-based economic model. Consequently their forecasted economic growth projections are based on ever-increasing foreign manufacturing dependency, and even more solidifying service-based economics.

While this economic path has been created by decades old U.S. policy, and is ultimately the only historical economic path now taught in school, Trump intends to change the course entirely.

Because so many shifts -policy nudges- have taken place in the past several decades, few academics and even fewer MSM observers, are able to understand how to get off this path and chart a better course.

Candidate Trump is proposing less dependence on foreign companies for cheap goods, (the cornerstone of a service economy) and a return to a more balanced U.S. larger economic model where the manufacturing and production base can be re-established and competitive based on American entrepreneurship and innovation.

No other economy in the world innovates like the U.S.A, Trump sees this as a key advantage across all industry – including manufacturing.

This is a very interesting video included in this article and shows Trump's understanding of creating or recreating a manufacturing based economy where America excels and is second to none. This added excerpt from the article says it all. In thirty years Trump has not deviated from his economic philosophy.

"Related Note – During Donald Trump’s testimony before congress in this video, Senator Marco Rubio and Senator Ted Cruz were approximately 10-years-old. This understanding sets the backdrop for a generation who is disconnected from the previous economic model being discussed within the congressional committee itself."

Exactly. Once again, Trump has the vision and is leading us in a direction the other candidates don’t even have a clue about.

Cruz wanted more free trade agreements so bad he was willing to give Obama carte blanc to negotiate such agreements. Yeah Cruz changed his mind at the last moment and voted against
TPA but he had been a vocal supporter right up to the last minute.

Trump wants free trade but only if it’s balanced trade that employs American workers.

Trump tweeted this Saturday 2/13... “I’m going to save Social Security. I’m going to bring jobs back from China, Mexico and Japan!”

Trump understands we need this economy running on all 4 cylinders to meet our commitments and bring the debt and taxes down.

The other candidates and Paul Ryan do not think strategically.

Trump understands there’s only 4 ways to create wealth
Mining
Agriculture
Manufacturing
Intellectual Property

Everything else we do is wealth redistribution.

so just to clarify.....and so I understand....broadly speaking, what distinguishes the Trump plan from say the AFL CIO plan is that Trump wants to comprehensively LOWER THE COST OF PRODUCTION.

He doesn’t just want to “create jobs” like the unions, right?

He wants to create REAL jobs, which include REAL gains in productivity, by a comprehensive reform plan which lowers the cost of production across the board.

Is that correct, putting it in the simplest terms?

He wants to bring manufacturing back to the US. Lowering the cost of production is a good thing not a bad thing.

One thing that I got from reading this article was unless we get our jobs back in THIS country, we won't have a country, like the one we used to live in before Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Obuma.....

Where do we manufacture anymore? What fuels are we getting from our OWN soil? What jobs are we working at now?

Are their coal mining jobs? No...coal is a fuel to reproduce electric and oil; Do we have ‘oil refineries’ anymore? 1 or 2 maybe;

We used to have cotton fields in the south and would transport to the north for textile manufacturing...are we doing that anymore? Are we producing cars anymore? No, they are being done in Japan and Mexico...

We need to wake up....

I’m not an expert on oil by any stretch, but I believe we have 31 major oil refineries, though no new refineries have been built in the last three or four decades.

The exception to that is the refinery which was built in the Dakotas and went on-line in the last couple years.

The economy is second only to terrorism as a threat in my mind today. Trump knows business and has been consistent for decades on making the economy strong even Rep Hayes a Dem understood what people miss today.

Trump will handle illegal immigration, improve the American not the global economy, and protect our right to worship as we wish. He may not be the type of Christian many here want but he won’t stop you from being so. We are electing a minister.

Right, of course.

But “bringing manufacturing back” could be disastrous. UNLESS you lower the cost of production. So the second piece is what distinguishes his plan from what we hear from the unions, and labour party hacks the world over.

There is a big difference. Unions always want to have more jobs, but they are more of exactly the same jobs as currently exist. With this type of arrangement, the cost of whatever the workers are making stays the same or increases.

Innovation brings not only new ways of doing things, but also new things to do. This creates not only new jobs, but new types of jobs. Because the new types jobs create more value than the old jobs, they can, and frequently do, pay more. Unions almost always fight this because the process involves loss of the old jobs along with creation of new ones.

What you will find in all of Donald Trump positions, is a paradigm shift he necessarily understands must take place in order to accomplish the long-term goals for the U.S. citizen/worker as it relates to entitlement or structural benefits.

The GOPe/Neocon Uniparty elite thugs have been the overseers of the Faux Conservative plantations since 1961. These overseers keep trying to trick/betray/control us to stay on/in their faux conservative plantations by selecting their ilk/puppets as our candidates. They lie and promise us conservatism and when elected $crew us daily in congress and as POTUS!

In NH, Trump and his voters ignored them. His voters then voted big time for Trump. They won and broke the rules of the plantation masters by voting for Trump in NH. This is scaring the hell out of our former neocon GOPe masters of the faux conservative plantations and their ilk, the Club for Growth.

It is wonderful to see this decades old, long standing corrupt political/economical system disintegrating right before our eyes. This corrupted system hates working Americans. It rewards illegals and those who bring them into America to freeload off the American workers slaving in the faux conservative plantation.

We are seeing a paradigm shift with us selecting our Presidential Candidate, instead of the GOPe/Uniparty elites, who hate us, selecting our candidates.

There is a Black Swan event occurring with the daily suicidal self wrought destruction of the GOPe, UniParty, Open Border Thugs, DC faux pundits, Faux News, ABCNNBCBS and the left wing fish wraps. Something similar may be happening with the DEMes.

Many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying GOP Open Borders Elite, The Club for Growth, the UniParty, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phoney pollsters and focus groups, Faux, ABCNNBCBS, their hired tv and radio hacks strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states.

We have escaped from their faux conservative plantations. We are not going back for more lies, abuse and mistreatment from our former GOPe masters.

We will vote for Trump and destroy them!

How an Obscure Adviser to Pat Buchanan Predicted the Wild Trump Campaign in 1996

Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?

What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs?

What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price?

What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America?

What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?

Right.

Conceptually, I understand what he’s saying. And it is noteworthy that NO ONE in either party has ever said something similar.

I don’t know if what Trump outlines is actually possible. But ....it is substantive, and has real merit, and is truly a “third way” that we have never before discussed in the public square. (The other “third way” we hear about is basically what Sanders offers...a pretend third way of socialism as an alternative to Stalinism).

You simply say that we are not compromising any more with a pretend religion of Islam, but we are sealing our borders and waging war on them if they try to cross those borders....

And you simply start acknowledging OUT LOUD that Islam, in fact, is the problem.

How’s about THAT?!
