From the Washington Post? Wow.
Nope...Trump has peaked...he’ll never get the nomination/s
Trump is working hard for the working men and women, union and non-union. I love his backing on U.S. manufacturing. Though I was in a fairly secure manufacturing environment (aerospace/defense), the outsourcing initiatives that began in the 1980’s eroded a ton of what we used to do right here at home.
This is rich. All of there rules are totally unenforceable and will be abused like the H-1B visa program. It is all smoke and mirrors. Sorry but if the WaPo likes then it means that it is not going to change the status quo.
The "honor" system? Right.......
Nobody in the working/blue collar world is impressed with any of this. WHAT WAS WANTED WAS A TARIFF AND A WALL.
This does not help the Republicans in the fall. I hope it doesn't hurt them.....
Not a perfect deal.
I don’t expect him to cut perfect deals.
That’s unrealistic. I expected him to cut
better deals, which he has.
“An even greater standards improvement is the requirement in the U.S.-Mexico deal for $16 an hour pay for 45 percent of auto-production content and 40 percent of auto parts content; that’s about four times what Mexican auto parts workers currently make and twice the earnings of those in Mexican auto assembly plants.”
that is truly brilliant:
1. Improves relative U.S. labor competitiveness
2. Improves quality of life of Mexican workers
3. Reduces incentive of Mexican citizens to cross the U.S. border illegally, thereby reducing the pressures on U.S. wages
a complete carrot approach, the exact opposite of a Democrat approach, which is always stick-only ...
My only complaint with Trump’s renegotiation of NAFTA with Mexico is that it doesn’t go nearly far enough. Namely, requiring 75% rather than 62% of a vehicle to be manufactured in North America to be tariff-free is an improvement, but I would much rather see a stipulation that 75% of the vehicle be manufactured in the United States (as opposed to Mexico) as the condition. The new agreement does little to prevent additional outsourcing of the US auto industry to Mexico.
