see4, I realize you are speculating. Maybe he will get rid of the tariffs on our goods going the other way. And I know for a fact that there is a tariff on our sea food that goes to Europe and china. Fair trade has a ways to go and POTUS TRUMP will be addressing that soon.
You do realize export duties are set to regulate the GDP and is in a direct relationship to the value of goods produced and sold domestically, right? And you realize that if it weren't for export duties many goods produced here in the US would devalue, and more importantly could effect the value of our currency?
See4, I just happened to know about tariffs in the fishing business because it effects what I get paid. During price talks the tariffs are part of the discussions . As long as there is a fair trade agreement worked out it will be a blessing. Maybe I will make more money with a different trade deal? Then holy shit, my whole crew would make more money. Fucking A, that sounds good.
Let's hope you're right. Unfortunately, I'm not usually wrong, and I think raising tariffs on Chinese imports along with dissolving NAFTA and TPP will lead to economic disaster. Let's hope I'm wrong.
How so? I don't see how Trump will bring in all this $$ he's talking about. (Reply on a 3rd grade level plz. Econ isn't my strong suit)
He won't be able to. That's one of his many cons that duped 51% of this nation. The only way we can drastically shift our GDP way in our favor is to bring manufacturing back to the US along side raw materials. The problem is raw materials are scarce in the continental US, which means we need to import raw materials. Good luck with that when we alienate all our trade partners. And in doing so, do you think our trade partners will want to do business with us and our manufactured goods after we terminate NAFTA and TPP? My guess is probably not. I'm sure they will be forced to do so, but with severe limitations. And what do we plan to manufacture? Do we plan to be more self sufficient like the BRIC nations?
Trumpnomics: 2+2 =tremendous, amazing and great!
nailed it
But that's assuming we will alienate our trade partners. Remember he's a business man. In numerous interviews he has said (and been chastised for) phrases like "nothing is off the table, meaning he would assess matters with an open mind right? I don't remember him saying "terminate" NAFTA, but renegotiate it. The Canadians and Mexico already said they want to renegotiate trade. He was going after China. It's been explained to me by people who are much more experienced in Econ than I am and while explaining I could understand, but it's so complicated. Like a giant Jenga puzzle.So many layers.
Yea, there's that argument too. But still a dupe.
Unfortunately, I think they just 'fucked' everybody.
We shall see I suppose. I really do hope I'm wrong.
Complicated indeed, best left to the pros (establishment). Not on the job training, cringe.
LOL
My take on it is similar. Hilary's biggest mistake and DEM's is that they ignored a huge segment of the population (the middle class, democratic voters, particularly the rustbelt states) b/c they thought they were already a shoe in. They didn't listen to these people who are hurting and that was their biggest blind spot. Trump came a long and spoke right into their ears and he got their vote. I think he's more moderate than people give him credit for. I'm scratching my head as to HOW he's going to make all these dreams come true for America.
Yeah, probably. I'm sure people protested when Obama was elected the second time, though called racist if they did. I'm just annoyed with people so quick to be offended by ANYTHING. I swear it's the social media culture that is magnifying this in people.Don't forget the Republicans were all ready to hold impeachment hearings for Hillary ,before the election even took place! This is not just cry baby mudslinging, there is alot at stake here. Trump voters will take a thrashing and be held accountable
Trump is offensive, period!
