James Pethokoukis, you worry too much. Relax and enjoy the Trump Presidency.
Technology is the most dangerous enemy of USA manufacturing employment and wages - not foreign competition.
Since the bottom of The Great Recession in 2009, the total value of all goods manufactured in the USA has gone up 16%.
Since 2009, USA manufacturing employment has gone up just 7%.
Try again. You are still manufacturing a false premise and demanding everyone debate on the basis of your erroneous assumptions.
Sorry Snowflake but the real world outside your “safe space” doesn’t work that way. No one is under any obligation to treat your erronous assumptions with anything but scorn.
Your assumptions that “tax revenue must be made up elsewhere” are at odd with facts. Until you admit that error, you will continue to fail to see the irrationality in your argument.
