You believe there’s a fault within this proposal but you cannot specifically identify and explain the fault you perceive?
Respectfully, Supposn
You want to raise prices for Americans!! That is a huge fault. American like to buy for less not more and thus increase their standard of living!! Do you understand!!
James972, choosing between cheaper priced imported goods or more jobs at wages of greater purchasing powers, I suppose Americans rather prefer greater purchasing power. I suppose you understand but choose to disregard that.
Yes, Americans are free and they choose to buy the cheapest best goods they can find which is their right. If you don't like their choice you are certainly free to try to persuade them to buy worse, more expensive goods but as a communist that does not suit you. You want govt to hold a gun to their heads to make them buy what you want.
And lets never forget, as a communist, this is just 1 of 1000 things you would like liberal govt to do at gun point!
James972, you do yourself a disservice by peppering your posts with the “bumper sticker” words such as “communist” without explaining your logical basis for employing such terms.
simple, you want to hold a gun to people's heads to make them buy what you want, and you want a 1001 other violent govt actions which is typical of communism. As a conservative/libertarian I believe in peace and freedom, not govt violence as you do. Now do you understand?
I think what he is saying is it would be great if people would realize that.
wrong wrong wrong!! What he was saying exactly was that he wanted liberal govt to hold a gun to people's head to force them to do what he wanted!!

James972, You continue repeating that same opinion without providing any logical support for your contentions.
You pretend to KNOW that the political positions I’m a proponent of would force people buy what I wish them to buy and initiate “1,001 other violent government actions”. Additionally you imply to KNOWING my political preferences and that they’re communistic.
You’re unwilling or unable to explain how you logically came to your conclusions; unable to post a logical response or unwilling to risk exposing your logic (or lack of logic) to confrontation?
I suppose that you do understand all of this but choose to disregard it.
Respectfully, Supposn
its a persons right to say and do stupid things.
are you saying you are not naturally violent and you want to leave people free to buy, sell, and price as they want from whomever and wherever they want? This is yes or no question.
James972, how do you answer the question you’re posing?
America was born free and grew to be the greatest country in human history precisely because it was based on minimizing violence by elites against the remainder. It turns out a few elites do not have the wisdom of crowds and free markets.You never conceive yourself to be violent regardless of the circumstances or provocations?
why cant you answer the question????? Don't you feel stupid for trying to change the subject?? In court you have to answer the question or be held in contempt and go to jail!! Why cant you answer the question? Isn't it obvious that the answer is avoided because it would incriminate you and your violent ways?

I think what he is saying is it would be great if people would realize that buy buying in the short run things because they are cheap they are actually doing society as a whole, as well as themselves a disservice and harm.. and that it would be better if they realized this and were on board for better trade. Just because its cheap doesn't mean its good. I prefer for instance to buy shoes and boots that are made domestically because the cheap crap isn't as comfortable and wears out a lot faster. I would rather buy one pair for double or triple the price and have it last 2 or 3 times as long. but that's a side issue. the people that buy the cheap stuff the most are the people most hurt by the job losses that are related to those cheap goods.
SocialID, domestic production promotes use of domestic labor, facilities (including infrastructures), and tax revenues.
However to some extents domestic production also contributes to their nations’ “crowding out” of resources, facilities and pollution of their environment.
Economists, (even among those opposed to protectionism) generally agree that absence of any methods for “checks and balances” within USA’s global trade practices promotes a “race to the bottom”. USA’s enterprises and employees are at price disadvantages to lower-wage nations.
Proponents of “pure” free markets contend that government regulation of global trade, (i.e. protectionism) should be beyond the power of government. Adam Smith’s “unseen hand” of the free open competitive markets will generally be superior to government’s “heavy thumbs on the scales”. They additionally point out that USA’s net global trade balance is a small proportion of USA’s economy.
It’s not supposed that we can determine the net "ripple effects” of trade balances upon their nation's GDPs but they certainly must be greater than the amount of the trade balances themselves. We do not KNOW what’s trade balance’s proportion to their individual national economies.
There’s no panacea that optionally addresses all of these consideration regarding a nation’s trade balance. I’m a proponent a unilateral substantially market driven Import Certificate policy for USA’s global trade.
Refer to Wikipedia’s “Import Certificates” article
And the “Trade balances affects upon their nations economies” paragraphs of Wikipedia’s “Balance of Trade” article.

yes I have read the import certificates wiki and in general I agree with you....
... Also this is a simplistic model. it could be manipulated with not too much difficulty unless we have a very through and expensive oversight. for instance. a import good that was monopolized by a foreign interest could be withheld and the price driven up through lowering of supply. then when price has been increased sufficient to what they desire because of supply/demand ratios they then import it at the higher price getting more ICs for it and thereby this could force out other importers not have available ICs unless we then increased our exports.
yes I have read the import certificates wiki and in general I agree with you. I do think however that our using import certificates and simultaneously having the trade agreements we do will interfere with each other.
Are you/they saying to scrap the trade deals and go with import certificates? ...
SocialID, regarding the consequences of the scenario you pose:
If foreign interests have a monopoly or oligopoly of any specific global trade product, it would be due to other nation’s being unable to compete with monopolist’s control of product supply. The question of transferable Import certificates availability is inconsequential to that scenario.
Regarding the unavailability of transferable Import Certificates due to excessive market price:
The transferable certificates CANNOT be cornered within the competitive global certificate markets.
As the global market price should increase, it becomes financially more feasible to export USA products of greater marginally excessive cost because the market value of the transferable certificates acquired by the exporter have increased to financially justify such transactions.

James972, how do you answer the question you’re posing?
James972, most of us understand your inability to answer your own question. There’s no need for you to feel stupid.
We all make some mistakes but why do you continue repeating the same errors of judgment? You don’t clearly think through the responses you post and the questions you pose.
I don’t suppose you’re a lawyer? A lawyer would be embarrassed If judge agreed with the concurred with opposing console’s objection to a nonsensical or irrelative question.
Respectfully, Supposn
You have to have the good to export though.
SocialID, although transferable Import Certificates would entirely, or almost entirely eliminate their nation’s annual trade deficits of goods,
