100% of Economists Disagree with Trump

Based on the far left OP..

100% encomiasts agree that socialism is bad for everyone!
That was about as conservative as one could get. you do know conservatives like capitalism and trump is no righty, right?

The OP started with a false premise based on the decisions of far left hacks in university to promote their religious narrative.

Notice how the drone is droning on about a VAT tax.. (Like Europe)

Socialism is never the answer!
 
I am not a democrat. I am a Protectionist just like Patrick Buchanan and Donald Trump.
 
So do I toro, but I understand is repeatedly losing isn't a way to go up. Repeating the same shot over an over with terrible results is insanity.
I don't support communism or a little America. I just actually care about America. And her people. Not just the goddamn corporations that run it.

There is, literally, no place on earth in the rich world where tariffs have added to economic growth.

There is mixed evidence that tariffs help poor, developing economies. In some cases they do, in others they don't. But they don't in the rich world. All they do is destroy wealth by propping up dying industries.

The appeal of tariffs is that they would protect the jobs of those in industries in which we can no longer compete, which are primarily low income, low productivity jobs. It's no coincidence that the people who are more receptive to this argument are lower income, less educated Americans. That's Trump's demographics. It's also Bernie Sander's demo, outside of the college kids and white wine liberals.

Wealth is created by becoming more productive. Tariffs make us less productive.

Unfortunately, we have an economy where more and more of the gains are going to the upper crust. That has nothing to do with taxes, or tariffs, or Obama or Bush, or whomever. It has to do with other parts of the world cluing in on the awesomeness of capitalism and the advent of technology, the latter being unstoppable.
No, it's unfair trade deals, lefty tax codes and fake imperialism.
Japan had tariffs that were high as fuck after ww2. When their economy recovered, GATT got involved an pushed free trade and lower tariffs. They boomed.
Japan is part of the reason my economic side is the way it is.

No you are a racist socialist just like all the far left drones on this board..

Free Trade is unfair trade..

However if the far left had their way no one could afford a TV or a computer as only the super rich could have such things..
 
Good post. But no one could ever convince me us not having jobs is somehow good for us. Maybe you can?

Because the jobs argument is an illusion.

It costs about $2 to make a T-shirt in Vietnam. It costs about $12 (or more) to make the same T-shirt in America. Even if you got rid of all the government regulations crap, it would still cost many times more to make a T-shirt in America. That $10 difference is money out of your pocket that you could have spent elsewhere in the economy. So that's $10 towards an American job somewhere else that doesn't exist anymore because of the tariff.

Only 15% of America's economy is exports. 85% of America's economy is internally generated. Most of the money that is spent by you - that $10 - stays here. But if you put on a tariff, that $10 doesn't exist anymore, and you are poorer for it.

If you have $12 to spend on a T-shirt or $12 to spend on a T-shirt and $10 on something else, in which one are you better off?

Correction American Free trade is unfair trade.
 
It's a negotiating tactic. He's never going to impose that kind of tariff. He can't without Congressional approval.

If you want to vote for a principled conservative who pokes his finger in the eye of the establishment, vote for Ted Cruz. He hasn't got a hope in hell, but you are being led down a garden path by the oafish populist demagogue, Trump. At least Ted Cruz hasn't supported liberal causes most of his life.

Proof the far left does not understand economics on any level and thus proves that they should never be in charge of anything.

So China has fair trade?

Russia has fair trade?

North Korea has fair trade?

That's because of slave labor. Period.
Jobs are not an illusion. That is pretty absurd coming from a decently minded individual..
You sound like the chamber of commerce just freshly shit you out.
What's next? Amnesty or open borders?
 
The minute you say '100%' you are LYING...

...and since the man is a million/billionaire, I wouldn't trust a thing any such economist would say. I would certainly trust him more than a Community Organizer...

You wouldn't know what a Racial Socialist was if it hit you in the head. I believe in fair trade like Buchanan and Trump do under the CURRENT way of doing things. Preferably yes I am a Racial Socialist.

Slave Labor? you mean like what is used to make the most over priced electronics known as apple products?

Yes I know you are a racist socialist!

However fair trade is an illusion, except to those that can get the better end of the deal..

It's always hilarious to watch leftwingers tell us who the real conservatives are, because we all know how much they care about putting one in the White House.

But you have no clue what a Racial Socialist actually is. That's my point. Under Trump we WOULD and COULD get the fair end of the deal.
 
I think if Obama said so then it must be true because I really don't form my own opinions. I wish that was a sarcastic exaggeration of the democratic party but it is actually one hundred percent true.

And though, here American liberals are using these same Apple electronics. HYPOCRITES!
