Here is a prediction for you.

Trump wins the next election, of course. Then after his second term, the democrats get in after they manage to get enough voters salted into red states to turn the election- that is what has been happening if you dont already know.

Then the democrats destroy this economy and turns the US into a out and out socialistic-communistic country.

At that time, the economy means nothing.

Study was done by the Fed, but they haven’t gotten anything right since 1913.

No, it is not obvious. Very high tariffs protected US industry and made us number one until 1913.

Ok everything you say is true except we need very high tariffs to stop the bleeding. Removing trade tariffs just invites more trouble than original problem you described. A de industrialized USA is a weak USA.

>>>So you prefer we lose more MANUFACTURING jobs to China?
MANUFACTURING jobs are primarily middle class jobs and the #1 creator of wealth.

Are they? Because it is the service sector that is currently carrying the economy. As I pointed out in earlier posts, manufacturing output and employment have been decreasing througj 2019, yet the economy is doing just fine.

There is not hurt to high import tariffs. They raise revenue and promote US industry. WIN - WIN.

Hey can’t you read???

Don’t reply back if you don’t have something substantive that refutes my rationale.

Yours are confused words by a socialist who calls freedom treason.
