Wasn’t Hoover a progressive and a Republican? Mark Levin slams all progressives regardless of their party. Hoover raised taxes and tarrifs. FDR doubled down on Hoover’s failed policies. Difference was Hoover was unpopular and FDR was a good bullsh*#er.
There is free trade and then there is stupid trade. Sadly you confuse the two and you don’t seem to be able to stop yourself.
You have been taken into the globalist industrial complex hive where you have been brain washed that free trade is all of our manufacturing leaving the country and H1-B visas entering the country to take way as many of the remaining good jobs as possible.
Any country that has the trade imbalances of the US is engaging in stupid trade.
Your economic belief system is the GOPe wetdream. You are the establishment.
I honestly don’t have a big problem with tariffs being used to increase US manufacturing and I’m pretty conservative. What we have here in America right now is not working and is not sustainable in the long term.
wow, I’m reading too fast, doing too many things at once. I underestimated the sheer stupidity of your last comment to me.
>> the democrats refused to work with Hoover to speed the recovery <<
I guess one might say that the Dhimmis’ obstructionism was sorta to their credit in this case, because Hoover was following some really terrible policies — many of which FDR merely expanded upon.
Damn you are one little lying dirt bag.
I never said he has no control over his companies. I said he’s never been the CEO of a large corporation. Big difference. He is the sole proprietor of his private company.
Trump has clothes manufactured in China, Bangladesh, and Mexico. And who works on his building crews?
>> the economy has been hurting for some time <<
Thanks to whom, exactly?
Hint:
His middle name is Hussein.
You’re an expert on stupidity.
Larry Kudlow hasn’t been right about anything in 20 years.
That sounds like a liberal argument. You are basically saying business will do the wrong thing unless the government sets up all kinds of regulations to force them to be good. Am I wrong, or did you just espouse the Democrat thesis?
NAFTA is an important part of Agenda 21. The Preamble states that a NAFTA Goal is “Support Sustainable Development”
And if it is not free and open?
Oh yeah? You are just mad your hero is outed. His clothes were manufactured in China, Bangladesh, and Mexico. He employs thousands of illegals working in construction.
Use 80% of the border patrol to audit businesses for compliance with having an I-9, copy of their photo ID and Social Security card on every employee.
Any they find not in compliance, fine them the maximum. {If they are caught a second time automatic prison.
Include any home owners that hire off the curb and publicise every one of them.
The illegals will self deport because within 6 months there won't any employment for any of them.
I'm not a great fan of the Fed -- and neither was Milton Friedman, to say the least.
But still, if you think the Fed "ran wild" during the 1930's, then it appears that you are regrettably ill-informed about monetary history.
In fact, the Fed SHRUNK the money supply during that period -- the very opposite of "running wild."
Moreover, it was this shrinkage of the money supply that (1) transformed a routine downturn of the business cycle into the Great Depression and that (2) prolonged the depression until the outbreak of World War II.
This history is painstakingly documented by Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz in their monumental Monetary History of the United States. I daresay this book has been the most influential and important empirical study in the history of economic inquiry. It's explanation of the Great Depression has never been successfully challenged -- and probably never will be.
We can answer from recent history - and it makes common sense. When it's not free and open, what you have are protected industries. So to protect a few thousand US Steel union workers under W Bush, there was a huge tariff slapped on foreign steel. What happened is hundreds of thousands of construction jobs and auto making jobs and other jobs went away, because with steel artificially inflated by 40% - far less steel was bought and far less things were made with steel and far less jobs resulted. This is common sense, what we all know from supply and demand. Prices go up, purchases go down.
I was not talking about that issue....I was talking about the US President and his impact on Chinese internal politics.
“You are the establishment.”
We’re going to have to start giving out an award to the first Trumpie on a thread who accuses a conservative of being “establishment” because they disagree with Trump.
