Ok, Everything is bad blah, blah, blah. Markets are down, prices are up. State employees are losing their jobs.
But it's time to awaken to reality: US has a huge public debt, and trade disbalance.
What is the simplest solution ? To sell m ore, to buy less. It's so easy to understand. Hence . Trump's tariffs.
Recently I briefly discussed the "disaster" with a friend , and asked him: If Trump's policy is all wrong, what can you offer instead ?
He responded with: "I don't know. And nobody knows. "
So , what globalists fan boys can offer ? What ? Start another proxy war ? Spend another 200 billions on Ukraine?
May be start a global war ? Nuclear War ?
You have nothing to offer dear whineres. Just to whine and whimper. To whimper and whine.
And obstruct road traffic with pathetic paid demonstrations.
Well, there is no simple solution. And if you think there is one, then you are delusional. But to answer your question, here's what I think:
First, since the feds subsidize corporations like Tesla, reward those companies that create jobs and take away subsidies from those who don't.
Second, allow banks and federal subsides help businesses create new industries and revitalize old ones where appropriate. However, there will be strings attached with goals that have to be achieved. Failure to do so results in taking away subsidies and to pay the loan to the banks back with a percentage of interest.
Third, do a far better job than DOGE in cutting fraud and waste. Disband DOGE and bury it. It failed. Oh, it cut jobs...and put a stress on local economies and made a mess of government functionality. What we want are cuts of waste and fraud that
improves government functions, not to eliminate it.
Fourth, get rid of our current policy of tariffs. It doesn't work. it does more harm than good. And only a fool thinks the world is low towing to Trump. Oh, sure, some third world country may be doing that, but not the world. Instead of an all out trade war based on stupidity, use tariffs as a tool to work on trade imbalances. I'm not against stepping that up a little and targeting specific nations that are actually hostiles to us, but this burn the world down shit Trump is doing won't work. Create trade coalitions that can help us with bad actors like the Chinese. Don't go after our allies....that's just ****ing stupid.
Fifth, abandon the idea that everyone wants to buy American. Selling more to other nations only works if said nations are willing to do so. If they aren't...you just want to slap a tariff on them? Won't work. I've mentioned this before as an example: why Japan will never buy American rice hence their 778% tariff on US rice...and no, it isn't unfair. Look into it. Instead, target markets they will do business with us and make trade negotiations with those items, which should include tariff negotiations (negotiations, not demands). Also, create markets in other nations the good old way: capitalism.
Sixth, embrace new industries. We had an opportunity 20 years ago to create, corner and be a main supplier of green energy and the resulting industry needed for its infrastructure. Millions of jobs and money. But nooooooo...oil companies killed that. So, whatever new industries that we could take over and outperform anyone else in should be examined and embraced if possible. Creating new industries creates new jobs, which creates new profits which creates new investments.
Seventh, Congress should have the power to approve a president's tariff. Simply so this doesn't happen again. We have lost too much already. We have gained nothing. A check on the president's ability to wreck the economy needlessly. Which could lead to wars, BTW.
There is more I could post, but it's getting late: I think you get the idea. But I would have to say that in a fantasy world, the best way to start resolving the problems Trump has created is to impeach and remove him from office as well as Vance, Hegseth and so many, many more. This administration is a failure.
And socialist: they want to control the world economy's profit and who it goes to.
