1.1 Million jobs are directly supported by trade with mexico. Mexico can just trade with another country. China is the prime candidate and China is interested. The Asian markets are huge.
China also produces crap cheap. So next we tariff them. How many million more jobs is this? And on and on it goes till we have trade wars everywhere. American exports get hammered in response. How many more jobs is this?
Do you know America has tried this before? What happened was American companies price gouged Americans because of the lack of competition.
I am all for buying American goods. But lets not pretend that American corporations give 2 ****s about us either.
The crazy part is more jobs are lost to automation than anything else and THAT is going to continue reguardless.
Trump has promised to put tariffs on China if they don't stop devaluing there currency. So yeah there will be tariffs put on China. Trump is not your average bought and paid for politician like a Bush or Clinton. He really doesn't care what corporations want. He cares about the good of the USA over all else. It's about Damned time we had a president that gave a damn about actual USA citizens. Refreshing and gives me hope for my son's growing up in this country.
