A Republican trade deficit solution?

. Had we acted as you propose, the Nazis would have become the rulers of the world.

how??????????????????????????????????????

EdwardBaiamonte, USA GDP during the WW2 years were a critical component of Germany’s defeat. Had we not been able to outproduce Germany, the allies would have not won the war and Germany would have been then have been and likely would still now be the most powerful nation on earth.
Respectfully, Supposn

as it was our equipment was crap and our soldiers got killed 2 to 1. If our industry had been more protected the equipment would have been worse and deaths higher too. Do you understand?

EdwardBaiamonte, I doubt if you ever understood that the world is not as your paranoid mind illogically perceive it to be. We hope you’ll get well.

you are the one who wants protectionism and thus trade wars among the world's 2500 largest cities. And that is only the beginning of the communist intervention you seek. Now you understand how Stalin and Mao slowly killed 120 million.
 
Edward Baiamo,

EdwardBaiamonte, you insert words, names, and phrases, (e.g. “2500 cities”, Stalin, Mao. “communist intervention killed 120 million”) with no logical explanation of their relationship with this discussion of Congressman Ryan and other Republicans proposed modifications of or rewriting of our corporate tax regulations.

Protectionism and trade wars need not and often are not related to each other. USA has and is currently confronted with other nation’s protectionists policies that are not due to our own global trade policies. Your introduction of ‘trade wars” into this discussion is symptomatic of your own paranoia and we’re hopeful for your recovery.

Trade deficits are a non issue, and free trade is one of the few bipartisan stances in the US congress.

What difference does it make if one country imports more than the other? Both countries are still making a mutual profit.
A trade deficit means that you make junk that no one wants to buy. That is obviously a big problem and a sign of a declining nation. Obviously the more capitalist a country is the more it makes things that others want to buy. So the solution for America is to switch back to capitalism not to use more socialism to make the problem even worse .

please don't kid yourself you are a communist and trade intervention is but one of 1001 interventions that you want to control the economy. It's the communist way
 
I’m opposed to trading away the best interests of USA wage earners

why not if it is in the best interests of American consumers?? Workers over consumers is right out of Marx only you lack the IQ to know that you've been brainwashed by the worst economist in history who killed 120 million.

Stalin killed the 120 million including Marx! That being said the soviet union collapses for a reason!! Some of it was lack of incentive by the worker under the system. Some of it was due to horrid and rampant corruption in the government! Profit over all is also not a way for long term prosperity either this allows for corruption to take over as being seen in the US today. We do not have a free market economy here either!! The overly wealthy use their wealth to stamp out true competition in the form of regulation, permits, construction qualifications, and other various means of holding an advantage by manipulating politicians with campaign contributions. Just as in chemistry there must be a balance between workers and the need for profit in order to obtain long term prosperity. Unfortunately not even having the best product at the best price insures profitability. There have been many examples of inferior products killing superior products over the years by just being able to market the product better. Truth in advertising laws need to be put back in place. People do not buy with logic in many cases they buy on emotion and whim a good percentage of the time. We need to do away with Citizens United to start with. Corporations are not people too. Large corporations with unlimited access to our elected officials campaign funds is a bad idea. The allows an unfair competitive advantage against smaller companies and the workers. Corporations will be people when they can go to jail or be drafted like the rest of us. We must do away with regulations that prop up companies to an unfair advantage. Also infrastructure is a big key to success of economy. The ability to make and move a good has a large bearing on the goods success. Proper infrastructure must be funded and well planed. One trillion dollars infrastructure spending would be a start. Demanding non existent shovel ready projects and projects that are ready for start in 90 days is idiocy and insane. It is a good way to torch a trillion dollars. We do not want to drive over bridges that are designed ion 90 days. They can not be properly design in that amount of time. We need a long term well thought out plan that not only funds the needed projects but also takes into consideration what projects are most important and do these proects in oder of importance. We also need to take the time to consider the cheapest most effective way of doing the projects with the least amount of damage to the people and buisnesses next to the projects. This takes time. This money should be spent over decades not in the next four years.

Evenflow1969, constructions’ failures or Injuries and deaths directly or indirectly due to constructions that complied with existing legally required construction regulations are not common in the USA. This is much less the case within many places beyond USA’s borders. Legal requirements for construction are not germane to the issue of USA’s chronic annual trade deficits detrimental effects upon our economy.

Similarly, discussions regarding advantages of greater wealth over enterprises and persons of lesser wealth are not are not germane to the issue of USA’s trade deficits detrimental effects upon our economy.
It’s true that wealth's advertising advantage, (i.e the power of wealth to purchase favorable public exposure), or wealth’s powers to exert greater influence upon our elections and all levels of our governments’ regulations and administrations are detrimental to our democracy and to our economy; but they are not germane to the issue of USA’s trade deficits detrimental effects upon our economy.

It’s true that USA failure to maintain and upgrade our infrastructure is detrimental to our economy and a cause of injuries and deaths; but they are not germane to the issue of USA’s trade deficits detrimental effects upon our economy.

Regardless of Edward Baiamonte’s opinion, annual trade deficit’s detriments to their nation’s GDPs are a fact rather than a matter of opinion.

Balance of trade is integral to the expenditure method of calculating GDP. GDP officially referred to within USA’s federal government departments was calculated by the expenditure method. It’s extremely unusual, (i.e. it’s rare) and noteworthy if any other than the expenditure method should ever be employed within any other USA governments, or learned journals, or text books and it’s noteworthy for the different method to be mentioned. The expenditure method is similarly as conventionally employed throughout the world’s communities of statisticians and economists.

Trade deficits detriment to their nation’s GDPs are particularly due to their drag upon their nation’s numbers of jobs. Anything that affects employment opportunities also have some effect upon median wage.

USA products’ quality can be competitive but we’re unable to compete with the prices of productions from lower wage nations.

Edward Baiamo, I suspect that you voted for Trump. You offer labeling words but no logical arguments supporting your accusations and objections.

Within this thread, you’ve accused or implied: I’m a liberal Nazis, lack IQ, and/or don’t understand the subjects of my posts and/or the concepts I support would cause trade wars and/or USA does not and/or cannot producer products of quality.

Within other threads regarding the topic of USA’s chronic annual trade deficits, you’ve described me as being a communist.

This thread’s topic is the changes to our corporate income tax regulations advocated by the republican’s house majority leader Paul Ryan and many Republican members of congress. To the extent that they support the proposal’s destination basis of taxation, I’m amiable to their concept. I suppose you believe that they’re all also liberal Nazis, communists, lack IQs, don’t understand economics, promote trade wars, and have no confidence in USA’s ability to produce high quality products.

Some of the concepts I support, (particularly the Import Certificate trade policy) do favor USA producers but beyond that they do not particular favor any foreign nations, or industries, or enterprises, or groups, or individual persons. Those concepts would (to a limited extent) favor any USA produced goods that competes with foreign goods sold anywhere in the world. There’s some costs for increasing USA’s GDP and numbers of jobs; prices paid by USA purchasers of imported goods would be increased. The net economic benefit to our nation justifies those proposals.


You’re correct to accuse me as advocating some protectionist policies but those polices do not favor all USA’s producers equally. I’m opposed to USA’s trade policies that are favorable to nations’ that cannot or will not better compensate their own workers and the consequential chronic annual trade deficits that drag upon our GDPs and numbers of jobs. Our annual trade deficits’ drag is particularly detrimental to USA employees and their dependents.

Respectfully, Supposn

the basis of the conservative capitalist Republican tax plan is to reduce the corporate tax from 40% to 15% to make our goods competitive on world markets!! I assume you can understand that now that I have put it in black and white for you. If you doubt it read Steve Moore's op-ed in the WSJ of yesterday!!
 
you’ve described me as being a communist.
yes you are correct but why point it out again when it is written as plain as day??

EdwardBaiamonte, I should charitably not mention your exposuring your ignorance and/or illogic. I confess to ungentlemanly deriving satisfaction by pointing out your linking the words “liberal”, “communist” to the word “Nazi”.

Both the adjectives “liberal” and “communist” are contradictory to the word “Nazi”. This is true regardless of “Nazi” being used as an adjective or a noun. You obviously know little about the Nazi Party. You’re posts often expose your ignorance, and/or illogic, and/or your lack of regard for your choices of words.

You've learned 116 times now that our liberals spied for Hitler and Stalin and gave Stalin the bomb but they did neither for Mao. Hitler was a national Socialist and Bernie is a socialist. All want ever bigger government with no end in sight does that tie it all together for you neatly enough
