Trump has a plan to protect American businesses and jobs, but Clinton doesn't.

As he outsources his jobs overseas?

As long as the government fails to take steps to protect American jobs, businesses will continue to outsource because it is the only way they can be price competitive in the US market. Trump has clear plans to prevent more jobs from leaving and even to get some of the jobs that left to return. Clinton has no plans to try to protect American jobs.

To a national politician "protecting business" means doing what Big business wants and Big business wants nothing to do with anything remotely resembling protectionism. Trump claiming to want protectionism is nothing more than an empty promise, like wanting to close the barn door thirty years after the horses got out. The time for protectionist measures was long ago when all the republicans and half the democrats were hailing Friedman as the messiah of capitalism and quoting his theories as the gospel.

How will they be price competitive with tariffs and taxes on imported goods, when the exporting country does the same and stagnation and inflation occur?

Privatized gains versus socialized losses for the Wall Street / bankster class
Internalized profit versus externalized risk and expense for the "job creator" class
Socialism for the aristocracy versus laissez-faire capitalism for the masses

Regardless of the outcome of any election, that's your system. Wake up.

Drumpf has no plans to stop jobs from going overseas because he knows his profit margin will drop. Clinton is for more education which will qualify americans for those upper tier jobs they are having problems filling now.

Jobs are still leaving and Trump has proposed clear plans to stop them from leaving and to bring some of the jobs back. Clinton has no plans to try to prevent more jobs from leaving, in fact, Clinton has no economic plan at all.

I have yet to see any of Drumpfs claims as something "clear". Usually he just talks loud and avoids specifics. Sure sign he is full of shit.

 

[Preacher]

I hope even if Trump loses he stays involved in changing the GOP to a more worker and family friendly party. Its already starting to tread his way and the PEOPLE want change so I hope it happens. I am getting involved in my county GOP soon as we move.

The countries in question, like Mexico, areal ready taxing our exports to protect their jobs and industries. Free trade as defined by treaties like NAFTA are only free one way. Mexican goods come into the US tax free, but most US goods are taxed when the enter Mexico. Clinton now agrees with Trump that NAFTA was a mistake, but while Trump has a clear plan to correct that mistake, Clinton has no plans at all.

It would really be a Congressional job to straighten out the mess, yet they seem uninterested...

Oh it's not the overseas competition that they are worried about. It's the fact that businesses leave to China in order to have a workforce that doesn't need to be paid. It's the fact that American trade deficit has not been negative for the last 40 years, each year we get more into debt with other nations as they attract more businesses.

This simply can not physically go on, so they have a reason for the worry.

If you have been conscious the last several weeks you've seen his plans. Why pretend you haven't? Is it because you understand Clinton has no economic plan at all?

I havent seen anything of his that is sensible or true. Now Clinton has a great economic plan. Educate people to get better jobs.

No, the executive branch negotiates treaties, and NAFTA is now US law. If the next president doesn't take action, nothing will be done to correct this mistake, NAFTA.

Since when does Congress negotiate treaties? The Constitution is clear that foreign relations are the domain of the executive branch, not Congress. Since you apparently haven't been conscious for a while, Trump's plan is to impose tariffs on certain imports from Mexico to bring the cost of production for these goods manufactured there in line with the cost of production in the US, thus removing the incentive for companies like Ford to move their production facilities down there. That will save US jobs. If such tariffs has already been in place, Ford would not have made arrangements to move its small car operations to Mexico, costing Americans thousands of good paying jobs.

That's slogan, not a plan. Clinton has lots and lots of slogans, but no actual economic plan.
