I'd like to chime in on the issue with jobs that no longer exist here in America and expand on it with a bit of common sense.
Mainly, the fact that no matter what you do, those jobs are NEVER coming back. Ever.
The thing is that jobs that are typically exported are ones where:
1. Very little formal education is required to do the job in question
2. The labor pool in the competing country is significantly less expensive than your own
3. Many businessmen do not really care about details such as who gets laid off. All that matters is the bottom line. QED.
Without getting into his qualifications, let us remember this simple fact: Trump is a businessman. And he is exactly the sort of businessman that I point out in Point #3. If you honestly think that he cares about us, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
And right now, he's trying to tell us that he's going to 'Make America Great Again'?
Now, it doesn't matter what you do. Go ahead and clap your hands while screaming "I BELIEVE IN FAIRIES!" Those jobs won't come back.
The industries might come back, and that would be nice from a standpoint of tax revenues. But they will be highly automated versions of their former selves. Tags should read "Made With Pride In America by Robbie Robot". And then there's the whole corporate tax reform thing.
We need to get used to the fact that, even as long as thirty years ago, America has been shifting towards being a services-oriented economy. And you cannot get away with paying people below the poverty line in an economy like that.
Also, there's the fact that we've all been over this before:
The hilarious part is that this movie came out right before the stock market crash of the late eighties.
Ambition... that is good. Greed is terrible and destroys not only companies, but entire economies as well, faster than you could ever imagine. And there is enough greed in a Trump presidency to take down the entire world.
When that happens, I'll be one of the first ones out there with a pitch fork and torch.
