You are aware that we have lower unemployment then economist thought was possible just a decade or two ago. It was thought that 5% was the bare minimum just on people transitioning from one job to another.
And you clearly don't understand trade deficits or a lot of other really basic economic concepts.

I'm a "mostly free" trader and I support Hunter wholeheartedly. I'm not a single-issue voter...

For one, structural unemployment is fluid as it depends on the skill sets of the population. We have had peace time unemployment in the 1 - 1.5% range in the late 20's and as low as 3.3% in the sixties all periods with tariffs and barriers that were much much higher then today. What those times including today had in common were periods following Tax Cuts (Coolidge slashing taxes down from 77% to 25%, Kennedy Tax Cut from 94% to 70%, and The Bush Tax Cuts).
Just so I know how serious you are, are we going to have a debate or are you going to just call me a retard?
