Trump sells US short; US is dominant

[Luddly Neddite]

In his speech on foreign policy this week, Trump explained that America is being bested by countries like China, Japan and Mexico because their leaders are "smarter, more cunning, and sharper than our leaders."

"They're killing us," he often says.

"The U.S. has come out of the 2008 crisis better than all the others," says Ruchir Sharma, head of global macro investing at Morgan Stanley.

"Americans have reduced their debt burden more than the Europeans, while China's debt has skyrocketed to extremely dangerous levels. If you look outside of China, U.S. growth is actually faster even than the emerging markets.

"Since the 2008 crisis, U.S. equity markets have outperformed all others — in fact nine out of the 10 most valuable companies in the world are now American. The dollar is the currency of choice. Global growth is not what it used to be, but in a bad neighborhood, the U.S. has the best house by far."

Thank you, Mr. President.

This is simply Trump rhetoric.

If you want a real world example of "selling the U.S. short", take note of Obama's refusal to approve the Keystone XL pipeline as well as his stand against exporting domestic crude oil.

Neither of those things is selling America short. They are based on what he and many others believe are rational and pragmatic opinions that differ with supporters of big oil and a philosophy that whatever is best for big corporate business is good for the whole country.

If you are a blue collar worker that means nothing. Nor does the GDP or the stock market.

The fact remains that our corporations have abandoned the U.S. worker in favor of low wage foreigners and there is no future for (what may be the majority) of Americans.

Everybody can't work in a cubicle.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

our corporations have abandoned the U.S. worker in favor of low wage foreigners.

wrong wrong wrong!! not corporations but liberals who drove the corporations off shore with liberal unions, liberal taxes, and liberal deficits.
Eliminate the liberal input and you'd have 20 million new jobs tomorrow!!

Eliminate the illegals and you'd have another 20 million jobs

Eliminate the liberal war on the family and schools and you have another 20 million people qualified for high paying middle class jobs.

Do you understand?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

So why have the Repubs consistently blocked Obama's plan to give companies a tax break if they stay on US soil?

You don't understand!

Even non-union workers are being replaced by low wage foreign imports.

Eliminating the illegals would leave jobs undone until wages are raised to a living wage for Americans.

Your contempt for working people may be clouding your perception.

obama's plan??? Show us or admit to being a liar.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

dear, employment here is 95% so almost everyone has a job even after the offshoring. If we killed the liberal unions, liberal taxes and liberal deficits 30 million jobs that had been offshored , union and non union alike, would come back and there would be tremendous upward pressure on wages.

Welcome to your very first lesson in economics

I have told you before, do some research before you call people liars just because they know more than you.

Let me understand this; if we eliminate unions companies that are paying labor $2/day will rush back to the U.S. and pay.... what? On how low a wage can an American survive?

What the hell is a "liberal union"?
