Trump's* Little Lies Versus Democrats' Huge Lies:

sub moronic as workers have different interests than consumers who want low prices.


In Econ. 101 you learn the Golden Rule:

The more with whom you trade the richer you get whether they are across the street or across the globe. The fewer with whom you trade the poorer you get. Imagine how poor you'd be if you had to trade with 1000 people only, or, imagine if there was no trade and you had to make everything yourself. This is Econ 101 class one day one

Is that what trade wars do, foster more trade? You are one Very concussed puppy.

obviously it depends on how the wars end. Do you understand?

They will end up doing more harm than good, they have a tendency to push the parties involved into seeking out alternative markets which in turn reduces the trade flow that had existed. To truly formulate good long term trade deals it takes skillful negotiating, not something trump is all that good at. In the long run the US share if the world market will be deminished, which results in a slower economy and fewer jobs and lower wages. We shall see, but if this leads where one would expect the results can be laid right at Trump's feet and those that supported his actions.

You do not seem to grasp the concept of negotiating, typical of Cons.

Not at all. Capitalists are doing what they can to have control of their wealth.

so?? isn't everyone doing what they can to control their money? Is someone trying to give up control of their money?

You seem to believe what trump is doing is negotiating, enough said.

ah i see if you think that is not negotiating what would be a better idea?
 
ElChupacabra said:
So does that control come at everyone else's expense?

obviously everyone has a right to control their money and private property. This right is exercised at the expense of those who would like to steal other people's money and private property. And????????

So if you want to cut your operations costs by dumping waste into a river, should that be ok? Any regulation requiring you to spend more money to do it responsibly could be considered "stealing your money". Where do you stand on this vis a vis government involvement at the state or federal level?

not really if the river was private property its owners could sue the polluters for ruining their property. Do you understand how kindergartenish you are?

Well I'm keeping it simple because you don't debate anything in depth; you know, at kindergarten level. Right, so public and private property owners can sue but that's reactive. Suing gets you money and penalizes companies, but your water is still undrinkable and will take years to recover. What and who should be proactive and set policies to prevent these situations?
