That short term fix of a decade or so is the difference in a man feeding his family and raising his children.
Also...my thinking is: what is the logic of the Federal Govt. having trade, tax, and regulations policy's that FORCE companys to leave the U.S. with those same jobs?
Just think of all the people who have lost their jobs since the 1990's?
MILLIONS. That's over 20 years of jobs that those people could have had.
The doom and gloom scenario of everybody losing their jobs to automation is only part of the big picture.
The crooked politicians and bureaucrats in Washington D.C. cut those deals that sent actual HUMAN jobs overseas, to enrich THEMSELVES.
Ever notice how the lifetime career/bureaucrat's jobs never get "automated" or outsourced. lol
There is a reason that bureaucrats in Washington D.C. somehow get filthy rich...even though their salaries don't reflect it.
I'm tired of listening to the "experts".
I'm old enough to have agreed with Ross Perot when he said NAFTA would cause a "giant sucking sound" of our jobs leaving the country.
He was 100% right.
And all the politicians and "experts" KNEW that. But they lied to all of us to enrich themselves and their cronies who funnel money to them.
I say this: We've been lied to for decades now. And every new trade deal (like NAFTA for instance) was supposed to make things "better" for all of us. Remember?
Except it never does.
And the anti-Trump people seem to be arguing in favor of continuing to do the same old thing.
Isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?
I believe it's time for a change. And I think that Trump is correct.
I know that many of you don't think so. And I know we are all just talking on a porn forum so it doesn't matter.
But I am optimistic about the future. I only hope that Trump can navigate all the political land mines that the Democrats and Republican establishment have laid out to stop him.
They are scared to death to lose their gravy train.
