that war was, also, inevitable (isis is the next Vietnam, it's a proxy war, the Great Bear is restless and he's already struck once, you know that Estonia is next, putin is thirsty for those warm-water ports),
and now we have the BENEFIT?? of being Putin's bitch, because TRUMP IS IN HIS POCKET. WE KNOW THIS.

Likely. However, Hilary was also QUALIFIED TO LEAD THE COUNTRY IN DIPLOMACY AND DOMESTIC AFFAIRS. Trump is not. Recall:

That one is the real kicker. Last person to do that? Andrew "trail-of-tears" Jackson. (NOT obama: while he apparently comitted several violations of the War Powers act, they were all within the lines of the law)
If you believe in anything American, you believe in the Constitution - the literally CONSTITUTION (making-up of, strength, fortitude) of our great nation.
Love that you used a textbook racist caricature black voice when trying to mock rednecks.

>trump will make america great again
no. Trump will run america into the ground. Trump will, in all likelyhood, cause another great depression with his dumbass economic moves. You, the working class, will suffer. Me, the educated elite, will suffer. Amad, the syrian refugee, will die. Rosa will starve, Jamal will get shot, and Jerry will start bailing US out.

"Skilled"
>ignoring the fact that moving all production to america eliminates our comparative advantage and is the LEAST efficient way to produce goods
You mean that it messes with the profit margins of the globalists and multinational corperations, because they can no longer produce goods for cheap by slave-like labor?
Why should we gut our nations infrastructure so that multinationals can rake in HUGE profits, while employing an army of barely paid wage slaves deliberatly kept at near sustinance levels by predatory buisiness practices?
>ignoring the fact that his tax plan ADDS TO THE NATIONAL DEBT BY ANOTHER TENTH

Yeah, they sure are.... but how exactly can American workers compete against slaves in cost of labor?
You are pricing freedom out of the market, and that's a bit too high a price if you ask me.
>ignoring the fact that tariffs make goods more expensive for the consumer
So does destroying the economy of the consumer nation.
Who are these multinational corperations going to sell their overpriced gizmos to after the western world is impoverished in their get rich quick schemes?

There are just too many coincidences
> putin is thirsty for those warm-water ports),
Ust-Luga port is being designed specifically to address this need. So no need in any other baltic port after a couple more years.
>all of the money goes to china
no. this trade is mutually beneficial. we buy parts from china to build machines, which we sell to china (and other places). america's top exports are machinery and cars. which costs more....?
>america is left to rot
no. again, trade is mutually beneficial. buying goods from their cheapest source (mexico/china) means consumers get them at lower prices. You and I are enjoying the low price of lightbulbs and toothbrushes because we are buying them from china.
>skilled
tim cook, sundar pichai (of google), mark zuckerberg. Oracle, Cisco, Intel, HP were all founded by immigrants. Satya Della, CEO of microsoft. Ginni Rometty, IBM. The list goes on, because America is a place of High-tech jobs, which attracts high-tech workers. Skilled Immigrants are good for the country, because the country does not expend resources training them.
>multinationals rake in huge profits, slaves
their profits are your cheap goods. you like to eat, right? food is cheap now, thanks to such practices by mcdonald burgerking etc. slaves is not quite true. paying these people more will not make their labor worth any more than it is, and in fact creates a "price floor" see pic. The surplus there is labor. ie, workers. The floor is caused by setting a mandatory wage above market value.
>competing against slaves
if those jobs were in america, then the american people would be competing against automated production robots.
because the robots are cheaper than the employee.
>multinational corporating
being multinational does not mean that a corporation is evil. it means that it is successful and that people want their goods. When the people no longer want their goods, the company will disappear (@AOL)
>yeah, they are
no, they aren't. Consumers are. Take away consumers, and there is nothing. Take away jobs, and there is demand. Consumers cause demand of goods cause demand of supply cause demand of jobs cause demand of consumers. No consumers, no jobs.
Yeah that's right, Alabama sucks. You should go somewhere else because of how shit Alabama is.

true. government is too large. trump plans on expanding it.

globalism is in your interests. globalism created your smartphone and your clothing. Your shoes were made in Nepal, your glasses made in Morocco and your belt in argentina.

freedom is debatable. self-sufficiency is not desirable.

you have to feed slaves. Again, robots are the alternative.
your willingness to pay for what is termed a Luxury Good is your prerogative. keep in mind that it will not be so good for your poor cousins who live in an Appalachian trailer park.
honestly would if it weren't for all the military and space industry jobs here. the people are trash. I assume you're one of them.
>ust-luga
seems unlikely that that port will be able to handle the volume of cargo necessary to supply its share of Russia, but one can hope. I assume you know something about this?
I doubt this recession will be healthy, and I equally doubt that these tariffs will lead to quality industry. In all likelyhood they will lead to poor-quality goods, as the raw materials become more expenisve to import.
>globalism is global communism
might be the one example of communism that works, because everyone knows that if they fuck up their planet they can't go to a different one, unlike with nations.
I could imagine the impotent rage of democrats who look to the field of economics to support their candidate.
>moving all production to America
kek never has he supported this, nor would he even be able to ram it through the Senate.
>muh tax cuts add to the national debt!
They are a step in the right direction. Government is too big and too inefficient for us to be wasting so much on it. Fiscal liberalism and over-regulation is a disease that has destroyed economies like those of Greece, Spain, Italy, and Portugal.
>tariffs are reciprocated, always
If you understand the deleterious effects of tariffs, aren't you excited that someone is finally elected who is willing to fight Mexico and China to lower their tariffs on us, which are the real job killers?
Anyway, the conventional wisdom about tarriffs doesn't ALWAYS hold, and it's possible (if Trump even passes any tariffs at all) that the tariffs will benefit the producer MORE than they hurt the consumer, of course in aggregate terms, and assuming Trump is able to prevent or lower tariffs in other countries against US goods. This is highly unlikely, and to be honest, the real "job" "crisis" is that young people are unwilling to pick up trade jobs, even though they are in abundance and pay just as well (if not better) than most college degree jobs.
>muh some people are racism!

the average voter is VERY poorly educated in general. This is a flaw with democracy, not the supporters of the candidate you don't like. If we WERE to blame one party for being stupid, though, Republicans are objectively more intelligent than Democrats.

explain
A bit. The task is clear - no dependence on Baltic states. So this port will grow as long as it needs. So no reason to mention volumes - its designed to grow from the beggining. And project is being done in slow pace - one thing, then another, then another - no need to haste things - enough time.
Your delicious SJW tears. I'm a single issue supporter.
No fuck you
Lol Hillary supporters don't know how economics works.
Doesn't matter if its cheap to manufacture in China or Mexico if TRADE barriers makes it expensive to import those products in ONE OF THE LARGEST ECONOMIES ON EARTH. Where it matters you dip shit.
How many times are you going to post this thread CTR, you desperate fuck? What are you even getting paid in nowadays? Pieces of string and lint?
Also, your arguments come down to muh economy, muh trade. I seriously doubt a good chunk of Sup Forums cared about these. Maybe normies did but then again normies know fuckall about trade.

fact, republic is far better. there is no arguing with the data, either with that or the intelligence. IQ points are however a relative measure. Given the population density of dumb people in areas where smart republicans tend to live, it only makes sense that they would by comparison have higher IQs, though, so that data isn't really useful.
way to waste your vote
back at you
it's still cheaper than anywhere else, "dip shit". that's why we buy from them. otherwise we'd go somewhere else. "dip shit."
you forget that companies are people who make decisions to buy from places on their own. Mark owns company ABC which produces J. J needs Q. Mark buys Q from china because it's the cheapest place he can find, even with their tariffs. Mark sells Q to Ireland, because it has low tariffs and high demand. Mark makes a profit.

Did you cunts ever wonder why the most educated someone is the less likely they would be a Trump voter?
Perhaps. If true, then a good plan. I worry about the speed with which it will be constructed. 2025 is good and all, but that's not much now. Putin as always causes me to fret that the port is merely a distraction, especially considering he gave his express desires to accelerate its growth. perhaps this is merely that old cold-war mentality.
does it gall you that I will probably make more money than you will ever see, and besides that, I will see the interior of the ISS? suck it, flag-biter
Obama was a much better democratic candidate who made effort to address the pain middle America was feeling in his campaigning. Yet many still felt ignored just as they were ignored by other administrations.
Is it any surprise these people who are hurting would vote Trump, a man they could see wasn't beholden to the same interests other career politicians seem to be? It's a long shot but many of them don't have much more to lose.
Doesn't matter though, the left seem to want to refuse this lesson. Trump addressed these people. Even if he was blowing smoke up their asses he would make as much as 6 stops a day towards the end of his campaign. He worked for those votes. Clinton never gave a shit.
Next time give them something to hope for.
Kremlin follows simple rule - least effort way is the best way. Its simpler to build port large and effective enough to substitute baltics, it will boost local economic growth and shit. Its politically safe and doesnt require much effort from other services - just give money and control it.
Time? Vlad is not giving a shit about time.
Not at all. Not a bit. I still dont give a fuck what yo u think. No one does. Take your money and shove it up your ass. Enjoy the next 4 years, loser.

>>ignoring the fact that corporations left America because China has literally a third of the corporate tax rate
Nope. I don't even know where to begin. The corperations tend to be still in the US, but contract out manufacturing to third party companies (or set them up) in the developing world due to lower wage costs/regulation costs. Why post if you don't know anything?
>ignoring the fact that moving production to America will mean half-fabricates and resources needn't be transported across all the oceans several times by Rosie McCado sized freighters
You've assumed that these companies didn't properly cost their structures. Why the fuck would a company filled wiith smart, maths minded people not cost their structures properly? Even with shipping it's cheaper to manufacture in the developing world, hence that's the incentive and the norm... Once again, get a degree m9.

How does that have anything to do with rebutting my point that tariffs may sometimes benefit the producer more than it hurts the consumer, in aggregate?

How is it half true?
obviously, not EVERY imaginable tariff meets the conditions I laid out.
Fun fact: Alabama invented toothpaste.
Anywhere else it would have been called teethpaste
I was always amazed that so many State & Federal workers thought their taxes paid for anything.
If you asked them - Do you pay more in taxes than you make? - they of course look at you like your insane and say "No"
So if your taxes don't even pay your salary, much less your pension and insurance - you are a net loss.
That leaves taxes on the private sector to pay for everything. When you have more people in government and unemployed than you can pay for with private sector jobs - the game ends.

>>ignoring the fact that american jobs in china are there because they cost less than replacing the workers with machines, which is the alternative
The reason for jobs going overseas is not just due to the cost of labor, but many different protectionist schemes enacted by other countries. Private businesses cannot compete with Chinese government-owned ones who can afford to dump products on our shores below cost. The answer is not to simply let this continue and have everything produced in other countries by robots.
>jobs lost to it are jobs that would have always eventually been lost to it anyways
No. See above.
> TPP and NAFTA make everything CHEAPER, YOU RETARDS
Unfair trade may make products cheaper for American consumers in the short term, but once we are unable to produce them here, foreign exporters will be able to raise prices. We still need to have something to offer for it to be TRADE.
>not to mention the sanctions that will inevitably occur after 'banning all the mooslims'
A rational society should be able to ban any silly religion it wants. We can weather sanctions. We have a much larger economy than Iran and North Korea, in case you haven't noticed.

Dependency is a concern for emerging economies, because they've never been there done that. I find it hard to believe that america could not transition out of a service economy and into an industrial economy if it need to.
