Free Traders are very unsophisticated people who are seemingly incapable of complex thought. I think most would sell their mothers into slavery for a buck.
No. Inflation is a rise in the general price level.
The definition of inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods.
Based on your inability to answer, it's apparent that you're the idiot.
Glad we agree, raising the price of cars via a tariff is not inflation.
You probably thing the $19T budget deficit is no big deal.
Coming from the guy who claimed a tariff on foreign goods wouldn't raise domestic prices......that's hilarious.
A $19 trillion budget deficit would be a very big deal.
The estimate for this year is about $600 billion.
$19T debt, my bad, You do not care about either. A 20% import tariff balances the budget tomorrow.
You know what? If the Free Traders weren't so greedy and actually passed some of the savings of using slave labor used to make their crapola then they might not be so hated and detested. How come NONE of the US manufactures advertise and show off that their product is made overseas. Why doesn't Ford run commercials bragging how the Focus and the F-150 is made by wet back labor? Why aren't they proud? Why isn't the iconic Daisy Red Ryder BB gun clearly marked on its packaging that it is Made in China? Why isn't that a selling point?
The best thing about a war with China is it instantaneously ends Free Trade immediately. We can then clean up the USA by properly disposing of the Free Trader crowd.
Yes, I may stupid, but then on the other hand yo may a little punch drunk from letting the Teamsters and the UAW kick you around.
And hey, can you call me a "Free Traitor™" again, just for old time's sake??
What percentage of the USA's manufacturing workforce is unionized?
About 100% too many.
You have to ask yourself this; do you so hate unions that you would be willing to de industrialize the USA to eliminate all manufacturing unions?
I don't. Unions are yesterdays battle.
Don't forget the increase in domestic prices.
If the Free Traders weren't so greedy and actually passed some of the savings
Over 100 million Americans get some of that savings every week at WalMart.
Why isn't the iconic Daisy Red Ryder BB gun clearly marked on its packaging that it is Made in China?
Last one I saw clearly said made in China.
The best thing about a war with China is it instantaneously ends Free Trade immediately.
We don't have a Free Trade agreement with China.
Of the $3.75 trillion in goods traded by the US last year, about $3.15 trillion was with countries other than China.
You post is confusing. Could you please clarify.
I already did, you’re just too dense to have understood it. But I’ll repeat it for the benefit of others.
If this was a case of automation and other efficiencies displacing workers the plants would still be in the USA but simply with fewer workers. That isn’t the case, what has been happening is the relocation of plants outside of the US to take advantage of global labor arbitrage. It is a case of absolute advantage rather than comparative advantage.
So if we get in a war with China all those container ships are just going to float by the Gook PLAN sub force without any harm being done to them?
I ask again: How come NONE of the US manufactures advertise and show off that their product is made overseas. Why doesn't Ford run commercials bragging how the Focus and the F-150 is made by wet back labor? Why aren't they proud? Why isn't that a selling point?
Free Traitors™ hardly ever answer direct questions.
You still haven’t addressed the fact that 87 percent of US manufacturing job losses this century have resulted from productivity improvements, not from plants moving to foreign countries.
