I need a spending report for the country. I would need to know which factors can be altered by law.

Some factors I see at play are regulations, taxes, mandates on businesses, and labor rules.

What kind of tariffs increase the trade deficits?  The kind that are bunk.  We BOTH know that if the US wanted to reduce the trade deficit it wouldn't be that hard, but taking trillions of profits out of the hands of the elite is very difficult.

What do you propose

Actually, your own statement says it has everything to do with color.  Mexico isn't trying to turn away white people from the north, are they?

Across the board tariffs on all products with the countries we have deficits with that include currency adjustments to create a BALANCE of FREE trade, not the existing BS.

Trump is arguing in very bad faith and the trade deficit statistics show that he's full of shit. I just wish the D's, CNN and the rest of the MSM would call him out on his "tariffs" hypocrisy, but calling him an -ism is so much more important.

I see you try to throw a racist angle in there, but that is clearly now defeated.

Like many Trump voters, these Mexican citizens are upset about immigrants flooding their country. Even the mayor of Tijuana said the caravan was a nuisance.

Your race card is about done.

Trump is an ace. He is showing the world that regular people simply don't like thousands of people being dumped into their lives.

But nobody cares about the Mexican or American working class. Their grievances are always second to those of the migrants.

Native population wither away from the darkness cast by the massive pedestal illegal immigrants are given.

And when other nations retaliate?

Like with the tariffs they already have on US products?  I love this retaliation rhetoric, like China and others have been playing fairly the last 30 years.

There are adjustments that could probably help bring back manufacturing.

Otherwise, we let corporations enslave other countries with slave labor -- all while you sit back and boast about how clean and upstanding America is.

Oh, and not to mention, we simply will have less jobs.

There is a middle ground.

no, not with the level of tariffs they already have, but with higher tariffs.

is it just a game of chicken and ever increasing tariffs until someone blinks?

I dunno why he doesn’t just advocate the US killing other world powers and seizing all the resources and good jobs for ourselves.


“Might makes right” is his go to defense on most things. Why pretend you want some sort of level playing field with all the foreign people you clearly hate?

As far as I'm concerned, the US has nearly a $1 trillion trade deficit every year, how much worse can it get?  To be fair, I'm not blaming our trading partners, this is all sponsored by the elites in the West.

If we produced t-shirts in the US instead of China for instance they would cost 10$ to produce instead of 0.20$, they'd cost 70$ to purchase instead of 10$, and the US employees making them would be paid minimum wage. All profits would still go to the rich, the sweat shops overseas would still operate whether they produce tshirts for the rest of the world or focus on another product, the welathy in both countries would still make the same profit, it would just result in the US working class being unable to afford as many tshirts as they need or purchasing them anyway at the expense of something else. How do you see this unfolding differently than I do?

Trump was giving a speech in West Virginia and he went on about how coal is back. Coal is the future. Then he said there was some company that wanted to build a factory to assemble “little computer parts.”  He mocked the idea. He said the people wanted to mine coal.

Pathetic. This is the mentality that got West Virginia where it is today.
