General Election Attacks on Trump: Aiming at FAMILIES
Get ready Trump because here’s how they are going to go at the center of one of your 2 pillars: Politico-
Donald Trump’s plan to get tough with China, Japan and Mexico could cost the average U.S. household more than $6,000 a year if carried to its logical extreme, with the burden falling hardest on households with the lowest income, according to a new report from the National Foundation for American Policy, which describes itself as a nonpartisan research group. “We find that a Trump tariff proposal against all countries would cost U.S. consumers $459 billion annually and $2.29 trillion over five years,” David Tuerck and Paul Bachman, a pair of economists at Suffolk University in Boston, write in the report. “Our analysis finds that the Trump tariffs would manifest themselves as a 30.5 percent increase in the price of competing domestic producer goods and therefore, as a cut in real wages.”
National Foundation for American Policy claims to be one ting, but actually their papers if you look, justify H1-b’s etc. and HERE They don’t seem concerned with citizen workers ALREADY HERE. I have NOTHING against legal immigration en masse, but facts are facts, they are hardly non partisan. Worse however, is their attitude about ILLEGALS here It’s important to understand the METHOD of attack here. Free Trade, NAFTA etc was sold as the best method to make items more affordable to American consumers. Coupling that ‘giant sucking sound’ to gains in automation created a world in which American consumers seeking the cheapest AVAILABLE products had traded that for their careers, ESPECIALLY in manufacturing (which PS is where the Gross Profit is) Now the argument coming is the same from the RESULT SIDE, that we heard over free trade in the 1980′s - but then it was a THEORY, ‘DON’T TRADE cheap Mexican, Chinese and Maylasian, etc products for higher prices’ (and jobs making flat screens in Nebraska, iPhones in Nevada, SSD’s in North Dakota, and F-150′s in Flint?) That’s the REAL question. Of course you can always continue to get those affordable Chinese flip-flops from Walmart
As usual in the US elections we have a left side ‘respected’ media entity, representing another left side ‘nonpartisan’ entity funded by grants from an equally left sided entity (Kaufmann Foundation) purporting to represent settled facts to the American people.
