what can we ship them besides planes weapons and food? Their goods come into America cheaply for our people to take advantage ofFirst off......proclaiming one of our closest allies is "bad,very bad" not only demonstrates our Presidents limited vocabulary to the world, it is also an inappropriate way to address a trade deficitConfused?You sound very confused indeed.
I am very smart, smart guy, one smart hombre, believe me
Went to Wharton, great school, the best, only smart people go there
Only smart people get to be billionaires, believe me
I'm so smart, I did it all myself
DO YOU LIKE THE LARGE TRADE DEFICIT WE HAVE WITH GERMANY/THE EU?
Like I posted earlier, this trade deficit is influenced by a strong dollar. Strong dollar means US goods coat more and foreign goods cost less. Good deal for the American consumer
Trumps "America First" Strategy, while it makes a good bumper sticker, is not effective trade policy. Every trade has winners and losers and it is not always us and them. Slap on a tariff, which seems simple, means the tariff gets paid by the consumer. Higher prices for struggling Americans
1. You still can't bring yourself to answer a simple question clearly. You are being evasive, because you can't admit that Trump has a valid point and is doing his job in representing American interests.
2. If our closest allies can't handle the fact that we don't want to always have a massive trade deficit with them, they are not our allies AT ALL.
3. Except that we are almost ALWAYS the losers. That is not the way it is supposed to be. IMO, the fix is in, and Trump is the ONLY one who has even TRIED to address it.
4. And that is the truth you are trying to evade. That Trump is looking out for working class Americans, and that you actually agree with him on this. As any reasonable person would.
YOur assumption that we cannot compete on a level playing field is noted and disagreed with.
