I am not sure what I mean either, because that's the point - it may not have happened yet, so none of us can point to it. The threat was hypothetical.
What? do you make this stuff up? You are uttering pure propaganda. They said it enough times and now you believe it. American Capitalism is the power behind everything wrong with out government.
That ceased to make an impression on me when judges are so corrupt and have a horse in the race so that they give the jury inaccurate instructions to sway their decision. Plus the cases are still pending appeal. And a couple of the judges are refusing to impose sentence in order to prevent the appeal from moving forward.
Roger is correct, imports are the biggest anti-inflation tool we have. As far as the level playing field. You're kidding right? Every aspect of our government is about giving power ,money, and every advantage to the ruling class. Hint" the ruling class is not in the government.
Like building roads and stuff?
Why?
If we want to improve the state of our nation, we need to deepen our relations with both Mexico and Canada. More investment, less barriers to trade, and a immigrant work policy that benefits everyone. Although, many more people benefit from it than the cool aid dispensers would have us believe.
Oh, so many reasons that life seems to end up better when done in the traditional model. Many of them spiritual, emotional, some of them financial, physical. Society keeps trying to reinvent stuff but never comes out with a better model than Mom and Dad, both present, both involved, married for life.
Agree
But at what cost. Yes, I can buy a plastic fly swatter for $1.19 in 6 different colors. The one that hung on the back of our cellar door when I was a kid was metal and wood and not very pretty but still functional and made in the USA by American workers. Somehow, when we started making washing machines in Mexico, the price didn't decrease but the expected lifespan dropped by more than 10 years. The more fancy stuff we put into our appliances so the manufactures can keep increasing the price, the more susceptible they are to failure. My $900 stove died 1 week after the 1 year warranty expired due to a "board" failure. It happened when my father and his wife were visiting and out of the blue, the buzzer just started wailing. Do you have any idea how hard it is to unplug an electric stove? It cost $600 to replace the blown board because I couldn't wait for a new stove to be delivered in 3 days since I was feeding a house full every night with the grandchildren and cousins coming to visit.
Agreed. And yet, God gave the power to chose.
I noticed that you changed the subject when I challenged Trump's economic nationalism as lowering our standard of living.
The main point of government is improving our standard of living. It can do that by getting out of the way of the free market. However some services are necessarily provided by government.
The higher price of washing machines was caused directly by a Trump tariff. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/high...trumps-washing-machine-tariffs-185047360.html.
The people willing to work for the lowest wages. Who else? What happened to the American workers who used to take those jobs? I wonder if they became programmers? Everyone can learn to code according to certain exceptionally dumb members of Congress. So, all you novices out there who are afraid to code need to get on board
