The 5 Easiest and 5 Most Difficult Promises for Donald Trump to Keep

Prevent American companies from moving jobs to other countries.

Companies move to other countries to pursue higher profits, and Mr. Trump cannot force them to stay. The question is whether he can make it profitable to do so. It is difficult because labor is much cheaper in other countries. Carrier pays workers at its Indiana factory an average hourly wage of $23 — roughly four times what it plans to pay workers with the same jobs in Mexico.

Mr. Trump has promised tax cuts and regulatory relief, but those are minor expenses for most companies, particularly in comparison to their payrolls. Mr. Trump also has threatened to impose new taxes on imports, but he cannot target particular companies. Any such tariffs would have to be broad — and therefore broadly painful.

Revive American steel-making and coal-mining industries.

The productivity of the American coal industry has increased roughly tenfold since the end of World War II. The work that once required 10 miners now requires just one. Steel making has undergone a similar transformation. That is by far the most important reason employment in both industries has declined precipitously. Most of those jobs are never coming back.

Demand for coal has also declined thanks to a revolution in the production of natural gas and, to a lesser extent, other alternative energy sources

Increase American economic growth to more than 4 percent a year.

There are only two ways to increase economic growth: Increase the number of workers, or increase productivity, the amount the average worker produces. The news is not good on either front. The growth of the American work force is slowing as baby boomers retire and families have fewer children. And Mr. Trump has promised new restrictions on immigration, limiting another source of workers. At the same time, productivity has increased over the last decade at an average annual pace of just 1.3 percent — and there is little evidence that faster growth is in the offing.

Invest in infrastructure to create jobs.

Mr. Trump will find bipartisan support in Congress for his proposal to create jobs and stimulate the economy by building and repairing highways, bridges, water systems and other public works. But many Republicans may balk at a big spending program that adds to the federal budget deficit.

Some Democrats will resist Mr. Trump’s proposal to offer tax breaks to private companies in return for infrastructure investments, notably because the federal government is able to borrow money at exceptionally low rates. Democrats are also likely to resist efforts to waive environmental rules or prevailing-wage protections for construction projects.

Build a border wall.

Mr. Trump promised to “build a great, great wall on our southern border” and “have Mexico pay for that wall.” Fulfilling this promise would be difficult, though perhaps not impossible if Mr. Trump stretches the definition of “wall.”

Fences already exist along hundreds of miles of the border. Mexico has said it will not pay for a wall. And even if it did, Mr. Trump would probably need approval from Congress to spend money. Mr. Trump could do much to beef up border security on his own. Congress would support increased border security and the installation of more fencing, but construction of a wall would meet resistance from both parties.

If he can do those things, it will be great.

This is not a difficult promise to keep. It's almost impossible.
I don't think Mexico wants to pay for a border wall!

The gop has long supported lowing corp tax rates and making it more attractive to biz to bring for earning back into the US ... so long as Obama wasn't potus. That will happen, and it will save some jobs, although other low skill jobs will continue to go off shore ... and they should since that will help US biz be competitive. And congress will not approve anything to "punish" them. More importantly, with lower taxes and less regulation, and an economy already growing, NEW jobs will be created.

Trump's an amusing showman, but he isn't bringing anything any other gop potus candidate wasn't pushing.

Business is sitting on trillions in offshore cash. Trump will offer lower tax rates and some type of "amnesty" to bring back funds

Can't we just fix what's wrong with our trade imbalance? Or is the problem that our workers make more than our trading partners? Funny Germany protects it's workers but we can't?

 

[Pete7469]

Yes, and how will that bring back jobs that produce goods cheaper overseas than we do here?

No debate that bringing the money back is good, and new jobs may result because the profits will be invested .... either here or overseas
