Trump's trade war could take a gigantic bite out of the US economy

[cawacko]

Trade deals make sense. Most libs had little to say about NAFTA when it was started. Perot was the one who said trade deals would result in our labor being cheaper and jobs would move out.

I'll re-link you to what Cypress wrote to me on this board in 2007 on a thread about the U.S. losing jobs to China:


"""You think this was an accident, or somehow all unintentional?

This was exactly what the wall street republicans, and corporate-sponsored Dems had in mind when the passed NAFTA, WTO, and China MFN.

A downward pressure on labor costs and wages in the United States.

People like Cawacko, Damocles, and Stuperfreak actually bought into the nonsense that William F Buckley, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and Alan Greenspan were actually valiantly trying to improve the status, power, and wage potential of america's working middle class. Is it possible to be any more foolish that to believe scions of the conservative movement and america's rich investor were invested in improving the power and status of Joe and Jane working class american?"""

Maybe it's their funding of PBS and NPR.

That is how the Kochs defanged them.
