1. Trump's whole campaign was based on, correctly understanding the Middle Class and Working Poor better than anyone else.
2. All our trading partners are supposed to be so much more mature and intelligent than Trump. SO, what "usually" happens is not to be expected. There are intelligent and responsible and mature professionals.
Why is balanced trade so out of the question?
Are you really that naive? Trump understands only one thing about the poor and middle class, they are there to be exploited for his own enrichment. He pushes a tax bill that heavily favors the wealthy like himself while throwing a bone to the little guy and now he and the Ryan's of this world are busily attacking every assistance program that the poor and middle class depend on. Man, you bought the whole con job, lock, stock and barrel didn't you? Fuckin' clueless people that gave the rest of us this madman-thief.
His trade and immigration policies, if enacted, will not be "bones", but will change lives, communities, if not the whole nation, for the better.
Those of the Middle class and working poor who voted for Trump, were right to do so.
I note that you did not try to explain they failure of the leadership of our trading "partners".
It'll change lives alright, but not in a good way. The poor or middle class who voted for him were duped and remain duped.
The failure of leadership of our trading partners? What does that mean? I always seem to have to unravel everything you say. How did they fail? By being free traders and part of the global economy? They didn't initiate this series of insane trade wars, Trump did. Be patient, you'll start to see the results of this soon enough and I guarantee you're not gonna like it.
More and better jobs, higher wages, will be a GOOD THING, for the Middle Class and Working poor.
Their leadership failed because they are risking a global trade war, which you seem to think is a bad thing.
You don't have to take my word that Trade wars are inflationary. Look it the fuck up! It's NEVER a good idea. Any economist worth his salt will say that because it's a fact.
What magic potion is gonna make Corporate America suddenly want to pay better wages? I want to hear this. Just the opposite is true. The "BONE" we were thrown will disappear in a rising tide of inflation and in attacks on the working poor, disabled, elderly etc. Attacks aimed directly at those you think are in for a better deal. Deaf, dumb and blind are those who believe anything that comes from ol' carp lips. Especially as it might relate to doing anything positive for the middle class. Do yourself a favor and watch a video entitled "You've Been Trumped" and you'll see how much Trump cares for the working man. Until then remain clueless as you are.
It is the only policy idea out there, right now to answer generations of wage stagnation.
You seem to accept the idea that the working poor and the middle class just get fucked from now on.
WTF, is that? And why the fuck should we agree to such a policy?
And the way you have to include with every post multiple sentences where you insult everyone that agrees with you, is just you being an asshole. A smug asshole.
