Jim, we’re talking about Trade here.
I need to spell it out for you?
No amount of government intervention is going to bring jobs back if another nation’s workers are paid $0.10 cents an hour vs $15.00 dollars an hour here.
There are going to have to be some tariffs. There is going to have to be some government reductions in regulation too.
Are you aware we are losing $6.75 to $13.50 trillion dollars in economic activity yearly inside our nation right now due to idle workers?
Again, I needed to tell you this?
Dang man, the point of this whole discussion and this stupid tariff thing is dealing with businesses fleeing the country.
You don’t solve a problem if you don’t ID the root cause of the problem. The root cause businesses are fleeing the country is the federal government.
Attacking the root cause involves what I have already laid out:
- Abolish the unconstitutional federal minimum wage
- Abolish unconstitutional federal regulations
- Abolish unconstitutional federal union protection
- Abolish federal corporate taxes which is a hidden form of higher individual taxes
The babies on our midst cry “it’s all their fault”. That is b/s. Our greatest enemy in many ways including our economic problems is our rogue and mostly unconstitutional federal government. Tariffs fail to address the root causes of why business are leaving the U.S. Doing the above directly attacks the REAL problem.
