B-Large Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The reasonable concept of supply side economics was sold 30 years ago to working class conservatives, which seemed reasonable that lower taxes and regulation would grow businesses and expand incomes and prosperity. maybe it did work, but workers sure didn't win big... Their jobs were sent packing south and across oceans, blue collar folks got rear ended, and they now have a candidate talking about rethinking free trade and sending excess illegal labor home... makes sense to me.

B-Large Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Are you going to stop buying cheap products made in China? I try to never buy cheap products, and always try to buy American products that are quality. Jobs went overseas due to the high cost of American labor, not because of basic supply side economic policy., the wealthy got tax cuts, got super wealthy and free trade deals made killing jobs here a no brainer. I'm not advocating protectionist policies, but workers are starting to put two and two together... and these are not just Democrat takers, these are conservative families beginning to ask what the !@#$ happened, and where has the GOP been for them. This may be the best thing that happens to the GOP, if you really think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working with the model that is in place and has been for over 100 years. There needs to be a change in how we pump up consumer spending. This trickle down method probably isn't the best. Jobs went overseas due to the high cost of American labor, not because of basic supply side economic policy., And automation. Making steel, operating a warehouse and many factories are not labor intensive anymore. People want to blame someone, but the world and economy just keep changing Like there wasn't pressure from Summers to prop up the perennial summers of recovery. More like pressure to live up to his mandate to work on providing full employment http://www.demos.org/publication/federal-reserve-mandate-full-employment From its establishment in 1913, the Federal Reserve has had a clear dual mandate to minimize inflation and maximize employment.

TPS Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 SS doesn't work - its a con. As Scarborough states, it's a con that has come home to bite the Republican establishment bit time. My favorite moment of the race so far, having Romney--the epitome of the Rep establishment--attack Trump. These guys are really stoopid....

Observer Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Clothes? Shoes? Cell Phones? Everything is made abroad. Don't kid yourself. US manufacturing output is at an all time high. The problem is not that we're not making anything, the problem is that Mr. Roboto is taking many of the jobs in manufacturing. No one in the US wants to make most of what is made in China.

It is indeed hard to find a lot of everyday products made here. I do however buy all my tools, supplies, plywood made in this country, or the very least made in Canada. I'm saddened by the mentality of many of our citizens... They'll spend 150-200/ month on coffee, but meltdown when gas is 2 a gallon or toaster is more than 2.99 at Walmart. We have a nation of fiscally stupid people, it's no wonder our government is screwed up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
