1000 jobs may not seem like much to our DC insider betters but it’s a big deal out here in flyover country.
What a maroon
Tariffs are to us industry as immigration enforcement and
Deportation are to us citizens
Fortifying and necessary
Look at the tariffs other countries place on our
stuff like us cars in the ungrateful South Korea
that should by rights like other nations we
liberated be a freaking wholly owned subsidiary
subsidiary
Someone should outsource James Pethokoukis’s job. Outsourcing is the hollowing out of the American economy for larger corporate profits.
Qhy not propose even smaller tax rates for any company who produces in the US
If you like your air conditioning; you can keep your air conditioning.
I love Larry Kudlow, but when jimmy comes on, I leave.
It irks me when people point to automation as being the cause for the loss of jobs that are moving overseas. They are two separate issues. Obviously, if the jobs were eliminated by automation they would not be moving to Mexico or China, they would just be gone, period.
These people are thinking too small. They have no goals as to market share outside the US. What we should be focusing on is increasing productivity through automation, but instead of eliminating jobs, increase volume.
America can be the world’s factory again by hugely increasing production, reducing the cost per unit by reducing the labor per unit, and supplying the world. All while retaining the same number of workers at higher wages. There are still billions of people in the world that have no air conditioning, no vehicles, no TVs, no computers, etc. What we need to do is to reduce costs to where those people can be customers of American goods. That will REQUIRE automation to reduce the amount of high paid labor per unit and have the same number of workers producing five times as much product.
These big companies all get big contracts from our government. I wonder what would happen to the shareholders if they should lose a few of those big government contracts?
What would the shareholders do if Americans stopped buying their company's products? Consumers (government and private sector combined) are not purchasing slaves, we have choices. If a company moves all its manufacturing out of country why should they get to bid on government contracts?
Also why do we need this guy on TV in the first place? Can't we find an Indian with an MBA and PhD to come in and provide commentary? If you don't protect your borders and your jobs you will have neither country or a job after a while. It's meta level thinking which I am finding so few people engage in.
I sorry but your position here is based on ignorance and emotional defense of a ideological imprinted political dogma.
Try to respond to my points again. Only this time put some THOUGHT, not just more rote regimentation of your ridiculous Marxist economic theories, into your response.
Maybe he’ll have a different view when it is HIS job that his outsourced
Do you like the Carrier deal?
I’m thinking that Trump’s 15% tax should have tiers. 15% for those doing 90%+ of a product’s manufacturing in the USA. Tax will be different per a product’s location of manufacture.
20% for those doing 85 - 89%.
25% for those doing 80 - 84%
30% for 75 - 79%
35% for 70 - 74%
39% for those doing 69% or less of a proxuct’s manufacturing in the US.
You are still missing it. You keep assuming your opinions are facts. As I demonstrated, they are erroneous opinions not based in anything factual.
Until you grasp that your intellectual construct here is based on erroneous assumptions and an imprinted political dogma at odds with fact, you are not worth of any response but scorn.
At this point you are simply acting out of ego rather then admit your error which is simply a waste of everyone time.
A perfect question from a tax and spend liberal.
More broadly, United Technologies realized they were rolling the dice with their government contracts, including from other divisions. The Carrier decision was made to satisfy fiduciary responsibilities to their stockholders.
