The National Review is one of our worst enemies. In the name of “conservatism” they will do anything to bring in cheap, illegal alien workers to replace our American workers. The Cheap Labor Mafia.

At least you know where the Establishment Communists stand. These guys are even bigger liars.

Pretty tough talk for a guy who just oversaw a multi-million-dollar corporate-welfare giveaway to Carrier as his first semi-official act.

Lost me right there.

Idiots like this are why GE Appliances are now Chinese owned.

Try buying a Chinese company, they will not let you own it 100%.

Someone should explain this to the president-elect, assuming it is possible to explain things to him.

Maybe Kevin should ring up the Tower and make an appointment.
I'm sure multi-billionaire President Trump would be amused by an economics lecture from someone who's probably never met a payroll.

Trump wants to impose 35 percent tariffs on . . . somebody. He does not seem quite sure”

On American companies that move offshore. Not so hard, huh?

I care about the long term strength of the US Constitution. I do not care about trade deficits and their impacts on semi-skilled middle class Americans.

Why do I have the feeling someone is pissing on my leg while telling me it is raining?

No. With few exceptions, they are little more than paid shills these days. They publish what whoever is keeping the lights on wants them to publish.

Someone should explain this to the president-elect
*************************

Someone should explain to National Review that exporting jobs and importing the workers for the jobs that can’t be exported does not work as a long term proposition.

If you care about America and Americans, which they obviously don’t.

So, fiat currency is actually the same as gold that is mined from the earth to create instant excess capital?

Williamson is an ass: most of this investment is in T-Bills, Wall Street and real-estate, which means the trade deficit helps subsidize profligate spending by the Federal government and asset bubbles.

I believe that National Review had a spelling error in their article. I believe the last line should read:
'-Kevin D. Williamson is National Review’s raving correspondent.'

I think we should outsource roving correspondents like Kevin.
