With altered trade deals, regulations, and tax rates Trump can bring back manufacturing to the USA. He can't, however, bring back manufacturing jobs to the USA.
Discuss.
Correct. Only businesses can bring back jobs, not a president. Creating conditions favorable to manufacturing businesses will cause them to bring back the jobs.
First by lowering the JOB KILLIING JOB REMOVING HIGHEST CORPORATE TAX RATE IN THE WORLD.
Second by Replacing OBAMACARE THAT IS STIFLING NEW JOBS (The 50 employee rule.
Third by IMPLEMENTING E-VERIFY, so that ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS DON'T GET NEARLY ALL THE NEW JOBS as has been happening since the Democrats took over..
Well stated, and if interested the o/p can read the articles Boston Consulting Group has been publishing for the past for several years on “resulting” to better understand the impact of Trump’s proposals on the process.
Now I will reveal why you are wrong. If manufacturing companies come to the USA they will use robots. There will be a minimal number of manufacturing jobs. It is the same as what has happened in many sectors of agriculture - people out, machines in.
Even China is automating manufacturing. The profits can come to the US, as can some high end jobs, but NOT the skilled labor jobs. The skilled labor jobs will not exist, for the most part.
I fully agree with your statement about business bringing jobs and government creates favorable conditions for that to happen. I’d add that the jobs will not transfer 1 for 1 because US business will have to figure out how to improve efficiencies to reduce the cost of human input to the products. It will be the only way to hold market share through competitive pricing.
“. If manufacturing companies come to the USA they will use robots. “
You say that like it is a fact and it isn’t. So, starting with a false premise leads to false conclusions such as yours.
I have no problems with a country full of millwrights, electricians, pipe fitters, and industrial contractors.
Yes and the robots will need maintenance and repairmen. Also where do you think the makers of the robots can be?? Also those companies which support the robot manufacturers can be.
Way too much negativity is shown here. Ask yourself would it be any different in a communistic or socialist economy?
PS: We all know you are paid K Street hack.
Sure the jobs can come back. Look at the labels, see where they are made. If they make it by hand then we can make it by hand. Presto jobs come back here.
US made machines, robots and factories on US soil. What’s not to like. Factories that can be switched to war time production in a world war scenario. All good.
There will be fewer jobs per unit produced but that doesn’t mean no jobs.
The point is that the manufacturing jobs in whatever numbers they are in will be located here and not some other nation.
Telephone Installers, Repairmen, Linemen, Roofers, Window Replacement Techs, etc. I can think of at least a hundred jobs that will never be completed by robots or unskilled laborers.
If you envision the USA making products by hand instead of importing them from the third world, then you envision the destruction of our country.
Tarriffs...I can’t think of any Freeper who I am more ideologically opposed to than you.
Exporting our jobs will also ruin America. It sends the fired employee costs to the government, raises taxes, creates a society dependent on a welfare existence and a voting class voting for government. Cheap goods is not the only economic factor to be considered.
I know. The founding fathers were all big advocates of tariffs. The first law ever passed was the tariff act. That act was signed by President Washington. Maybe you have heard of him. So I am with the patriots you are with Marx and the globalists.
Your turn.
