Indeed, Hawthorn. The issue is over-taxation and over-regulation, not free trade.
Ha ha.
>> Levin has also called Kudlow a fake economist <<
I didn’t hear him say that. But if he did, I’d say Levin has forfeited any claim he might previously have had for understanding basic economics.
Moreover, just as with anybody else who indulges in such trash talk, Levin demonstrates that he has lost the argument.

The lyricist has obviously confused Herbert Hoover with Calvin Coolidge.
I can by the same amount of gas for a silver dollar that I could 50 years ago.
NR on its TDS rant.
Is the United States being de-industralized? And why is it that the de-industralization began with the inception of free trade?
Ding! Ding! Ding!
>> Is the United States being de-industralized? <<
No, it’s not. Manufacturing as a percentage of GNP has stayed about the same over many years. But thanks to computerization and automation, the percentage of the labor force in manufacturing is down. Many people who used to have dirty, boring jobs in manufacturing are now working in the service industries. Some probably like their new jobs, others would like to go back into factories. I don’t know how many there are in each category. But it would be interesting to see a good survey on the matter.
When have you had a first choice since Reagan? Trump is an anomaly in the vein of Reagan that is why he is hated by the GOPe and admired by the anti establishment type.
If Trump can't beat whoever the democrat is, then the ballot box will no longer be able to salvage the Constitutional Republic. Meanwhile we should do everything we can to dirty up every gop candidate for the socialists in both parties.
We have nine of those Constitutional Scholars on the Supreme Court, have they made your life better?
Well, if we had nine Constitutional Conservatives instead of “Scholars” on SCOTUS, our lives would be better.
“Trump is also running full throttle on an anti-immigration platform that could hurt growth as well as alienate the GOP from the ethnic voters it needs to win in 2016.”
And with that folks, the reading stops. Another Trump hit piece by two more Establishment hacks.*
That’s about where I stopped, too.
Hildebeeste, and Joe Biden, and Bernie Sanders are certainly fascists in the mold of Franklin Deficit Roosevelt.
Huh? First you say Ludlow is right and that Washington is the cause of stagnant wage growth and slow job growth. Then you blame free trade for negative income growth, black unemployment and the declining labor force participation rate.
The problems you cite are based on bad policy from Washington on taxes, regulation, litigation and unions. It has nothing to do with freedom. Freedom is the solution.
There was no income tax nor hardly any government for at least 120 years and that's when America grew more than any country and became a world power.that was the golden age America and freedom . it ended in the early 1900's with the progressive era and woodrow wilson the ass
It's all an attempt to destroy the border and sovereignty of the USA. The establishment they are all for obaama trade which is a Trojan horse for unlimited 3rd world immigration into the USA
Trump is the only on that is for saving America and keeping the borders. Trump is the only pro-American running.
the globalist billionaires donors donate hundreds of millions to every politician. that's why they all supported obama trade and yes Cruz was rabid for obama trade and penned an op ed promoting it. funny that boner and mconnel were also for empowering Obama with TPA
The difference in the 198o’s & 1990’s is the mentality of the Liberals and the incoming immigrants!
Those coming back then WANTED to BECOME AMERICANS, the wanted to work to succeed and prosper, and they were WORKING towards the American Dream!
Those coming in today (and the last few years), want multi-cultural, anti-American environments (they don’t want to become Americans, they just want to live in America and enjoy our benefits), and speaking of “benefits,” they want the American Dream to be ISSUED to them, at the cost of their fellow residents!!
BIG, HUGE, DANG DIFFERENCE!!!
Right. How could anyone who understands economics blame tax policy, onerous regulations, trial lawyers and union thugs when we can blame freedom for the current state of affairs? This is what happens when you have too much freedom. Thank goodness government is going to do something about it!
Many people who used to have dirty, boring jobs in manufacturing are now working in the service industries.*
This comment is so idiotic on its face.
My father had one of those “dirty, boring” jobs working in a paper mill. Made a damn good living and mother stayed home and raised her kids.
Try doing that now.
My husband works in one of those jobs as well at a shipyard. This same shipyard has young kids out of high school, trying like hell to get a job there.
Instead, the company goes to Puerto Rico and brings back cheaper labor and our kids get stuck working in one of those service jobs at McDonalds.
Yeah, that’s worked out well.
By the way, that paper mill is no longer here. Nor is the other one that was here. All gone to China.
