Mexico just paid for the Wall

You have been given reasons by both In The Light and RSR. Is it that you cannot comprehend? allot apparently.

BTW, have you read Matthew 6:24-34, Matthew 6:19-21, Matthew 5:38-42, Matthew 5:43-47. Perhaps a refresher course is in order.

 

Oy! It's Obama's fault. Ha ha.

Let's say I need a rake for raking leaves, or a snow shovel. I go to Wal Mart and see a Chinese made rake for $7.97 and a USA made rake for $24.87; I see a Chinese made show shovel for $9.87 and a US made snow shovel for $29.87. They look pretty much the same but the USA built stuff looks a tiny bit sturdier. What am I going to buy?

I think the market has already decided this, about 30 years ago, and I don't think Trump is going to be able to reverse it by getting tariffs lowered on US built rakes and snow shovels going into China.

 

What rake you gonna buy?

 

I deliberately picked 30 years as my time frame because it predates NAFTA and puts the US in its strongest economy in my lifetime. There was no "taxes raised sky high" in 1988, and the shift to Wal Marts ascendancy was underway.

You're funny.

 

I don't think a trade deal with China is going to result in American manufacturers suddenly becoming interested in making hand tools, toys, cookware, small appliances, household goods, particleboard furniture, office furniture, or pick just about anything made in China and on the shelves in Wal Mart. That bird has flown.

What's a little more? In my examples, and in real life examples, China made products are going to be about one-half the price of US made products. So I would buy the rake and the shovel from China. If they break in 5 years, I'd just buy another one and still be ahead. I've got to think of my family budget first. However, if the price difference were a few dollars I would buy the US built ones.

 

Translation: I can't counter your argument, so I'll call you a liberal.

Check.

Nothing in that article saying there are other industries making comebacks. Perhaps you'd like to reveal which manufacturing sectors that sell into Wal Mart are making comebacks.

There was this in the article you cited:
"the persistent threat of a broader trade war continues to threaten recent gains."
and
"one of the few industries to contract in August was “primary metals,” a grouping that includes steel and aluminum producers. U.S. tariffs and retaliatory foreign measures have made it harder to obtain key metals at stable prices."

Winning!

 

Obama was talking about jobs in coal, which he deliberately sabotaged with regulations. This was not market forces.

I thought I did SAY exactly that. US manufacturers are not going to get back into the toy business, the housewares business, the particleboard furniture business, the small appliances business, the small electronics business, the wristwatch business, the jewelry business, the "name just about anything sold at Wal Mart business."

 

That happened long before Obama took office & nobody makes it impossible to do otherwise, nobody but the consumer. Look you cant even provide a intelligent argument, your just a Trump syncopant. and it shows. The day this Trump guy provides a fair tax system for every state, the day he stops rolling over poor people (he looks at them like they are all miscrents,) the day he provides the people insight into his tax returns & business operations (thats called transparency), then maybe I will cut him some slack.

Now if your retort is going to be particine & a pitched tirade about Clinton & Obama, dont bother ....I am sick of that crap. Yea, I dont like either of the aforementioned but I aint using them as a endless BS excuse for Trumps activities for today. Answer as a man, not a brown noser to a politician.

 

Sure, but what are the odds that we can trim the fat and abolish Congress?

 

Cant stop yourself can you

 

VOTE THEM OUT! In Northern New Jersey we had this scumbal was in there....6 terms. He didnt do anything for us. He got voted out & the guy in there now responds to me when I ask for help or when I have suggestions.
