Democrats have done nothing for the rust belt.Trump so won in 2020...I told ya.
CNBC survey: Trump is winning over Democrats and independents on his jobs agenda
Donald Trump's fight to stop U.S. companies from moving jobs overseas is garnering support from an unlikely group of American voters: Non-Republicans, who are warming to the idea of the president-elect in the White House.
New results from the CNBC All-America Economic Survey found more than half of Independents and a quarter of Democrats said they are comfortable and prepared to support Trump as president. An overwhelming 56 percent of those respondents said the top item on his economic agenda should be keeping jobs in the U.S.
The survey of 800 Americans from across the country was conducted December 2-5 by Hart Research Associates and Public Opinion Strategies. Its margin of error is 3.5 percentage points.
Republican pollster Micah Roberts said the results indicate Trump's push to keep jobs on U.S. soil, like his recent deal with Indiana-based air conditioner company Carrier, extends his appeal beyond the coalition of voters who helped him win the election.
Well that's only if he reopens those 30 year rusted out factories in the rust belt of this country, that he promised. If not--they'll be back in the Democrat column shortly.
Frankly I don't know how adding a 35% penalty tax on American corporations, along with tariffs will be a job producer in this country--LOL They're usually only good for starting trade wars, driving the cost up to American consumers--which creates massive job layoffs, and have yet to create a single job in this country. (been there done that before.)
These proposals are dead on arrival in a Republican congress. And I doubt congress will agree to subsidize these industries. The fact is manufacturing in this country cannot compete with foreign countries who don't have to pay our wages, our payroll taxes, our unemployment insurance, our workman's compensation insurance, our health insurance requirements, and put up with all the other bullshit regulations that we have in this country.
Look manufacturing in this country has taken a dive for the last 3 decades. Corporations are forced to work and make a profit in the Global economy today. Foreign countries do not pay our wages, employers unemployment insurance, workman's compensation insurance, payroll taxes, and health insurance benefits--that's why they have gone overseas, and why we're not paying 7 thousand for an I-phone, or 15K for a laptop.
No investors are going to open up manufacturing in this country unless they can make a profit, and a Republican congress is not going to subsidize manufacturing.
You've been roped a doped. The Trump family owns properties and investments all over the world, and they are held hostage by China, Saudi Arabia and several other countries. They're not going to risk it by pissing any of these countries off with new trade deals, or whatever he promised you.
Trump's Hotels In China Could Be A Conflict For The President-Elect
That "global economy" is a result of trade policies that can be changed.
A lap top will not cost 15k, if not made by Third World labor.
There is ALREADY plenty of manufacturing in this country.
Better trade policy will encourage it to grow. That is not unrealistic.
Trump is not going to piss off countries where he has investments. China has the POWER over him, not the other way around.
Then you have a Republican congress that has ALWAYS been free pro-trade. Steel manufacturing in this country is GONE forever. No builder or developer is going to buy American steel when they can get the same product for less than 1/2 the price--because they too are "competing with other builders and developers."
A Republican congress would never agree to tariffs, or penalizing American corporations 35%--that have never created a single job in this country and only drive up the cost to the American consumers--which then create massive job layoffs everywhere. Not going to happen.
Mexico is our number 2 buyer of American products. The north American trade agreement aka NAFTA is between Mexico & Canada. You screw Mexico you screw Canada also. In Mexico they actually pay more than we do for cars, appliances, etc. that we get cheaper because they're American made.
So what's Mexico going to give us? A Pinata factory? What's Canada going to give us? You need to look a little bit more beyond the tip of your nose on this. Yes, you're angry you lost your manufacturing job years ago, and you swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker with Trump. Talk is very cheap. The last thing you want to do in this country is get a manufacturing job. If you're working for a large corporation in manufacturing, you can be pretty much assured that you're not going to have that job for very long.
