What took you so long to show up to yammer about promoting and protecting inefficiency?

We know you love to protect a few jobs so that the rest of the country can pay more in the form of higher prices, right?

Nothing like hating the free market, right? Wouldn’t want to allow anyone to make anything where they want to make it, right?

Funny how you always claim that Smoot-Hawley had nothing to do with worsening the Great Depression. Nobody else with an active synapse or two claims that. Not even Bernie is that rock-stupid.

Provide the evidence or stop with your bogus claim. Since your delusional idea underlies almost everything you say, you need to get ready to retract it all.

Really. I must have missed the part where Carrier announced a price reduction. LOL.

Tomorrow Trump trounces. Get ready. Stay off of tall buildings and have someone watch you 24/7.

The Smoot-Hawley myth is not hard to debunk because all it takes is for someone to look at the actually data from the 1930's and draw their own logical conclusions from that data. Trade, both import and export, was a tiny part of the overall economy during the depressed 30's. Smoot-Hawley's impact after subtracting trade's $3Billion from the entire GDP($50Billion) economy could not have worsened the economy much at all. Due to it's small overall portion of GDP, trade restrictions could NOT have the "devastating" effect the "learned" economics that IMO have an agenda profess. Ask yourself if your own pay were to be cut by 4% if that would cause you to go broke and loose everything? Would it cause you and your family a personal devastating Great Depression lasting a decade? I think not.

Notice that net trade hardly changed after Smoot-Hawley passage. Look at the chart below - LOOK AT IT < expletive deleted > IT. Open your huge brain up to new information. Don't be scared. We've been sold a bill of goods deal so with it, correct your misunderstanding and move on.

Nice. "protect a few jobs" - like yours, maybe? Companies have the duty to stay competitive but they also have the duty to be loyal to their own country. Good management supports a productive and efficient workforce - so if some workers aren't getting the job done well, there are processes in place to either improve that performance or get that individual out and replace him/her with someone willing to do the job well.

Tossing out 1,400 American workers in favor of Mexican workers is akin to treason. Not only are your own people thrown out on the street in many cases to live on taxpayer money, we lose the skills and industrial base we will need in national emergencies.

What's your plan - to beg Mexico to ramp up production to help us out if we have to face another war?(I know, heating and air conditioning units aren't war-critical but the production facilities and workforce can be adapted during a war emergency to produce other things - like Rock-Ola and IBM made M-1 Carbines during that last big one.

Meanwhile, our government is in effect importing millions of Mexicans to do the installation work on the cheap. How long before all of our blue collar folks are completely unemployed?

The Bottom Line doesn't Trump patriotism.
