Of course it was years after the fact. That is how you study the results of economic changes. How dumb are you?Trump usED third world labor.
HIs policy platform is about changing the rules to fight that.
HIllary is all about continuing the policy of allowing employers to use Third World Labor to undermine US wages.
There is nothing crazy about tariffs.
Unless you believe those same economists that predicted that Free Trade would make US industry more competitive and lead to a rebound in jobs and wages.
I believe history which shows they are bad. Take your steel tariff. It cost the US more manufacturing jobs than the steel industry employs. Bad idea. But if you have some support for them let's see it.
Your support for that claim was many years after the fact. And yet you used it, and ignored when I pointed that out originally.
Nation after nation has rebuilt themselves or built themselves on the vast wealth we have been fountaining all over the rest of the world, while our working class and middle class have been getting fucked, for generations now.
Somehow having a massive trade surplus benefited them while having a massive trade deficit greatly harmed US.
The natural conclusion is that if we reduce or reverse the trends in trade surplus/deficits, that we will reverse the trends for the working and middle class here.
Do you have any links supporting your crazy?
THe link I posted showed that the steel companies in question survived and thus the jobs of those factories were saved.
A study, was it 7 years later? will be influenced by other factors that might not have anything to do with a certain policy.
BTW, calling me names is not actually supporting your argument. lt is just you being a dick.
FYI.
Yes seven years later we have accurate data and can study the effects of the tariff. That's how studies work...
Actually in a uncontrolled environment with literally millions of other factors that cannot be accounted for, that is NOT how studies work.
