Bernie understands how jobs are created and how the economy operates. How many REAL jobs have Hillary and her slobbering minions held and how many have they created?

Bernie understands economics?

Bernie Sanders?

Oh ... Bernie Marcus ... ah!

Right.

Hillary impairs private sector growth for her public sector speculation.

I thought we were supposed to boycott home depot?

[central_va]

I buy stuff at Home Despot but i am under no illusion that it is just another store front for fencing Chinese Govt factory output.

[Son House]

Sanders could be campaigning today if there was no cheating...

[dragnet2]

Why did Bernie Marcus of Home Depot turn the company parking lots into a Home Sanctuary Depot?

Thanks, I’ve had Home Depot stocks in my 401k and you may have helped the growth.

Sarcasm aside, your point well taken. Some of this manufacturing is now only available exclusively through China and it’s going to be one big effort to get a manufacturing base of companies started here, again...

Attacking business is attacking the goose that laid the golden egg.

This is where Trump is off. The problem never has been, is not now, nor never will be the voluntary cooperation of buyers and sellers in the market economy free from government interference.

The problem IS government interference which is why business are fleeing the country. Minimum wage, high taxes, suffocating regulations, and government protection of unions are the major reasons businesses are fleeing our country. Tariffs are a palliative measure appearing to address the problem but do not and actually makes matters worse.

Trump has addressed high taxes and regulations. He MUST address minimum wage, a DIRECT JOB KILLER and an anti-business and anti-jobs requirement that is also utterly unconstitutional at the federal level. Trump also need to address getting grid of unconstitutional federal protection of unions. Unions are another anti-business, anti-jobs entity that must be put into the competitive market economy of supply and demand free from government interference. If unions survive the supply and demand of the marketplace so be it, but they will have to be much better than they are now.

Regardless of politics, Trump must do what’s right by attacking the sources of our economic malaise and the causes of businesses fleeing our country. Unconstitutional job-and-business-killer minimum wage remains unopposed because of politics. But Trump must rise above this and eliminate federal minimum wage as well as unconstitutional federal union protection in order to fulfill his pledge to Make America Great Again.

John, can you put this post along with the article in

You may be speaking of cheap/day laborers looking for work.
McMansion’s get that kitchen/bath/roof/siding/ect
at a profitable rate for the construction contractors...

[Squantos]

We is .......

[Moonman62]

Trump is going to cut regulations and will have China declared a currency manipulator.

[joshua c]

...unless your goal is control, then it makes perfect sense.

[workerbee]

IIRC Trump said he favors a federal minimum wage.

Closing the damn borders is issue #1, 2, 3 and 4. Unless and until that’s done, everything else is moot.

[central_va]

You cannot stop global labor arbitrage by reducing taxation and regulations alone.

Exactly WHY I no longer use Home Depot...and this goes back over 25 years. Lowe’s is my favorite.

I cannot stand to ‘go shopping’ for clothes, etc, But I could spend a fortune at Lowe’s.
