See my post above. I do understand the multiplying effect that youve pointed out. It is a factor.
My basic issue with the Trump trade policies are that there are negative effects that will wipe out some of the gains that we see (1000 jobs saved) and the net result will be less improvements in our overall standard of living than we anticipated. Add to that the fact that the number of unemployed people in this country is 50 to 100 times the number of manufacturing jobs that we are likely to add over the next few years even if Trumps policies work.
Lowering taxes and regulations both of which are inducements to businessmen to hire new employees is, IMHO, a way more important factor. That’s where your multiplying effect will really come into play.
The basic, cardinal rule of success, is to GET THEIR ATTENTION! Nothing can be advanced without focusing attention on it. Trump has done that. He has succeeded the first time out of the box. The issue is no longer a “talking point” nor a campaign promise which in far too many cases never comes to fruition. Trump has started the ball rolling in the right direction and there are 100 families who will have a better Christmas knowing there will be food on the table in the New Year.
Your objections are ridiculous. It takes months to get things through congress and while Trump is going to get things done as you proposed it is GOING TO TAKE TIME! YOU are not helping! There is NOTHING NEGATIVE about what Trump has done. STOP the CRAP! OUR OVERALL STANDARDS of living are GOING UP for the first time in ages.
LEARN one FACT! The longest voyage starts with the FIRST STEP!
Ifs and buts and negative thinking are NOT what built this country. Americans throughout history have always taken risks and continued on to success. I come from FRONTIER STOCK. I was not brought up on everything being guaranteed in my life.
