We are on the losing side of almost all trade deals. Our friends and enemies have taken advantage of the U.S. for many years. Our Steel and Aluminum industries are dead. Sorry, it’s time for a change! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

"More insanely, we export matallurgical grade coal to China so that they can make cheap steel and sell it back to us."

It was either that or go under because someone (something) wanted to put domestic coal out of business.

If the corporations would go to a profit sharing plan the Unions might fall in line. But they wont because the corporations see the unions as the enemy. And they have been for many years. But sooner or later the Unions have to understand that a scanlon type plan would be an advantage to themselves as well as the management.

A Scanlon type bonus plan uses value over costs to figure its profit sharing ratio. It includes the union, the management up to the very top. Everyone but the pencil pusher. It makes the management include labor in decisions at the manufacturing level. This is the one sticking point in such plans because most management cant fathom that a common worker has any intelligence on how to make a manufacturing decision which will enhance profits.

All from the Cold War which was again fed by WWII events.

Japan isn’t a big threat anymore because they refused to go down the China road of spoiling their countryside and air to support the sheer bulk of manufacturing required. And so Japanese items remain boutique items.

Praise The LORD that President Donald Trump cares about and loves our Country! It is a very rare thing in a political person these days. He is an American first, who happens to be our President.

The reason why we can’t lose a trade war is because we are losing on trade with most nations we trade with. We are at bottom and there is no place to go but up. Trump understands this.

Who is “we”? Corporations and Wall Street are big winners in these trade deals.
