Roberts has a history of being...

A loon. Paul Craig Roberts is a paultard conspiracy truther nutcase. He's a favorite of the InfoWars crowd.

Americans have to compete in a globalized world. Period. Get used to it. It is also a GOOD thing for US consumers that we now have so many more choices and no longer are forced to buy, for example, crappy union automobiles from the Detroit big 3. Bloated, backward unions and progressive government is what makes it so hard for the United States to compete properly. This is why so many more jobs than need be fled the USA. We can grow our manufacturing base by diminishing the strength of unions, cutting corporate taxes, cutting regulations, etc, etc.

“A loon. Paul Craig Roberts is a paultard conspiracy truther nutcase. He’s a favorite of the InfoWars crowd. “

Which has nothing to do with his ability as an economist. You’ve employed a Genetic Fallacy there.

“Americans have to compete in a globalized world. Period. Get used to it.”

And that’s supposed to be what, exactly, an old football speech from high school? That’s a bit less useful than Robert’s discussion of how the international labor arbitrage of recent years differs markedly from Ricardian comparative advantage, and why our economy suffers as a result.

Freepers who are interested in seeing America prosper will benefit from knowing the issues at hand instead of satisfying themselves with slogans.
