More lies and no contextual trash

I’m sick of this type of hot piece


So now Breitbart is lying? Really? Throughout the entire campaign, everyone here thought Breitbart was the go-to website for all things Trump—it was and it still is.

Not sure what you meant by “no contextual trash” My guess is you meant: “No content. Trash.” Forgive me if I am wrong, but it was not clear...

Actually, there is a lot of information—content which should be of concern to those of us who supported Trump because he is going to be putting American workers first.

Hassett may be brilliant, but policy wise, he is not at all on the same page with Candidate Trump...Sort of like a number of the people in Trump’s realm.

Maybe Trump will ignore his pro-immigration pro-globalist leanings~I hope so. However, but it is not wrong to be concerned and ask questions NOW, before the confirmation

Not sure if you read the article, so here is some content/context:

China: Hassett warned in 2010 that bashing China-U.S. trade policy would bring the U.S. back to the downward spiral in the 1930s.

Globalization: “An absolute prerequisite for long-term economic growth is full participation in the global economy and trading system.”

Immigrant workers: [E]conomic growth could expand significantly if immigration in the U.S. were expanded.”

The Financial Times said Hassett’s pick shows “nationalist forces have lost some ground when it comes to the economic advice reaching the president.” The Financial Times, in fact, used Hassett’s words to reveal his stance on issues.

• America Needs more workers

… With lackluster GDP growth threatening to become our new normal, allowing more immigrants to enter for the sake of employment is one of the few policies that might restore our old normal. If the U.S. DOUBLED its total IMMIGRATION and prioritized bringing in new workers, it could add more than half a percentage point a year to expected GDP growth.

• Understanding the role of the United States in the global economy

LIBERALIZED trade — in broadly multilateral, regional, or bilateral agreements — is a key ingredient in the recipe for prosperity. … An ABSOLUTE prerequisite for long-term economic growth is FULL PARTICIPATION IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY AND TRADING SYSTEM.

• Analysis of the economic effects of immigration reform

… This paper explores the economic consequences of expanded immigration on the U.S. economy. It begins by reviewing the immigration practices of our OECD trading partners, and documenting that immigration, as a share of the work force, is well below international norms. The literature identifying the economic impact of immigration is reviewed, suggesting that economic growth could expand significantly if immigration in the U.S. were expanded.

That’s a standard pitch from D.C.-based legislators, agency officials, and political advisors, all who stand to gain from a more powerful national economy and a greater inflow of taxes — no matter how immigration changes the distribution of income or the hurts the prospects of ordinary Americans and their children.
