Assume Trump, Dems please don't nominate Clinton!!

[VivaRevolution]

Disagree... Germany benefits greatly from a virtual strangle hold on Europe's overall economy. It's industry is "uber" competitive by comparison and it pays in Euros just like all othe rnations it trades with.

Germany's economy as a whole.....sure.

Germany and japan's manufacturing has remained strong for decades due to tariffs.

Harley Davidson was saved by tariffs.

Tariffs are not a cure all, but under certain circumstances they are very benficial.

Yup.

The wonders of a tariff-free laissez-faire capitalism have been debunked for 200+ years. All developed nations got that way through heavy protectionism.

Should they nominate this guy instead? I would look forward to Trump trashing this POS.

In 1985 Sanders traveled to New York City to meet with Ortega just weeks after Nicaragua imposed a “state of emergency” that resulted in mass arrests of regime critics and the shuttering of opposition newspapers and magazines.

Sanders refused to condemn the decision. He was “not an expert in Nicaragua” and “not a Nicaraguan,” he said during a press conference. “Am I aware enough of all the details of what is going on in Nicaragua to say ‘you have reacted too strongly?’ I don’t know…” But of course he did know, later saying that the Sandinistas’ brutal crackdown “makes sense to me.”

When asked about the food shortages provoked by the Sandinistas’ voodoo economic policy, Sanders claimed that bread lines were a sign of a healthy economy, suggesting an equitable distribution of wealth: “It’s funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is, that people are lining up for food. That is a good thing! In other countries people don’t line up for food: the rich get the food and the poor starve to death.”

LMAO, you know this was a good talking point before we knew the contras, were funded with CIA drug money, and weapons from Iran.

In discussing the Sandanista's, bernie sanders is not the bad guy, our government was.

This is why any talk of sanders and the Sandanista's has been left alone. It isn't bernie that looks bad, in fact it looks like the same kind of judgement bernie sanders used in voting against the Iraq war, another embarrassment to this nation.

 

[Possum Jenkins]

Not to mention that US involvement in Nicaragua got the US condemned by the International Court of Justice and ordered to pay reparations

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaragua_v._United_States

And in any case, the Sandinistas >>>>>>>> Israel and all Republicans were trying their best to outdo each other in expressing how much they support Israel. So Bernie > Republicans here again.

But the fact that Germany heavily uses tariffs, and has a powerhouse economy lends credence to the idea that it works.

All tariffs aren't created equally, but I am confused by anyone who would argue that a tariff that protects wages and environmental regulation wouldn't be a good thing for the long term stability of the world economy.

Since you are confused I will let Milton Friedman explain it here:

Or maybe one of the founding fathers put it better:

"Our interest [is] to throw open the doors of commerce and to knock off all its shackles, giving perfect freedom to all persons for the vent of whatever they may choose to bring into our ports, and asking the same in theirs." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XXII, 1782. ME 2:240

"The system of the United States is to use neither prohibitions nor premiums. Commerce there regulates itself freely and asks nothing better. Where a government finds itself under the necessity of undertaking that regulation, it would seem that it should conduct it as an intelligent merchant would; that is to say, invite customers to purchase by facilitating their means of payment, and by adapting goods to their taste. If this idea be just, government here [in France] has two operations to attend to with respect to the commerce of the United States: 1, to do away, or to moderate, as much as possible the prohibitions and monopolies of their materials for payment; 2, to encourage the institution of the principal manufactures, which the necessities or the habits of their new customers call for." --Thomas Jefferson to John Jay, 1788. ME 7:218

"I think all the world would gain by setting commerce at perfect liberty." --Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1785. ME 5:48, Papers 8:332

LOL, our country had no income tax for the majority of it's existence, and was funded by trade tariffs.

Pointing to the history of this nation, as an example against trade tariffs is lololol.

As to Milton Friedman, and his Chicago school buddies, I am not a fan.

And yet the nation would have been better off with no tariffs. Regardless of whether you are a fan or not he is an economist compared to Trump who is just a demagogue.

Yes, but Robert Reich is, and he disagrees, and isn't 100.

What a disgusting piece of shit. What a shocker, a socialist making apologies for bread lines and murderous dictators. Hopefully these naive young Americans that bought into Bernie's BS about "democratic" socialism will wake up. But I doubt it. They try and keep inconvenient truths like the one you posted from going public.

Robert Reich

God I love the fawning over him all because he is a former labor secretary in the Executive Branch. People take his words as gospel but IGNORE the opinions of the major establishments, professors, facts, evidence, and even more qualified individuals. Robert Reich is not an economist.
