Trump Economy plans EXPLAINED
Комедия
“Our economy is going to hell.”
Former president Donald Trump has made promises for a stronger economy core to his campaign message. The presumptive Republican nominee routinely slams President Biden’s record - although the economy is booming by many measures - to argue that jobs, inflation and overall growth were all much better when he was in the White House.
“Inflation is killing our country,” Trump said during Thursday’s presidential debate. “It is absolutely killing us.”
In stump speeches or off-the-cuff remarks, Trump is rarely specific about how he would make good on his promises. Some of his proposals might not be supported by Congress or hold up in court. But he has broadly outlined his economic priorities - some of which experts say would worsen inflation or deal a blow to the labor market.

Isn’t automation replacing jobs a bigger problem for workers than migrants
@simpletube11

Automation has a higher initial investment so while your big distributors are going to gladly invest, smaller shops are likely going to continue hiring cheaper migrants as they have been. But those companies taking advantage of H1B visas (how do we have prodigious universities but no qualified white collar workers?) should be cracked down on. Companies like John Deere that can post record billion dollar profits (not revenue) and move their manufacturing to Mexico should have their entire Board drawn and quartered. Globalization is a threat to our national democracy and your going to see both L and R start to become more Nationalistic and Anti Capitalist due to modern day capitalism’s ability to squeeze exponential profits and the sake of American jobs….and I’m all for it.

As an automotive industry professional, I can assure you that the notion of robots completely replacing human workers in vehicle assembly is still quite distant. While robots have made significant advancements and are utilized for specific tasks such as windshield installation, welding, and painting, they currently lack the necessary dexterity, speed, and problem-solving capabilities to undertake the intricate and varied assembly processes required for vehicle production. The automotive industry involves a high degree of precision and attention to detail, with each vehicle having unique tolerances and variations. This level of complexity poses challenges for robots, as they are not yet able to replicate the adaptability and decision-making skills of human workers. Therefore, it is unlikely that robots will fully replace human workers in vehicle assembly in the foreseeable future.

That is an extreme oversimplification. The exporters may have to decrease the price of their products to stay competitive in the US. To cope with 10% tariffs, they may have to decrease their price by 2%, 5%, 9% - wherever the sweetspot for profit per unit x sales volume is, while keeping in mind that higher production volume also lowers the per-unit production cost.

Turns out the US economy is built on migrant labour, especially in the South. The real reason the South has always been "tough" on migrants is that it puts them in a position where in order to work in the US they need to accept less then minimum wage under horrible conditions. Florida made the mistake of passing a law that would heavily fine companies for hirin migrants, which meant a lot of bussinesses (farms included) suddenly felt they couldn't handle the risk of keeping migrants, but also couldn't offer enough money to hire citizens.

Immigrants, documented or not, do so many jobs that citizens don’t want to do. Cracking down on it will just worsen the economy as those jobs become empty and remain unfilled. A person coming from a terrible situation is going to take $5/hr to deal with hazardous materials or work in the hot sun all day, but you aren’t going to be finding a middle class citizen doing the same.

How do you know that?? There are some jobs (particularly in the agricultural field) that need the immigrants to work - but not the _illegal_ immigrants. Anyone who understands the system knows that there are visas for temporary farm workers that move from farm to farm helping with harvests, or come in the spring and leave in the fall after the work is completed, because farmers don't have work in the winter for the farmhands, causing them to go where is warmer to continue to work there. These workers are legally in the States. There are other situations, like working in the chicken production and packing facilities, where companies like Tyson Foods rely almost exclusively on illegal ali ens for their workers, because they can keep them over-the-barrel on everything: if they complain about working conditions, they tell the right people and send them back to their home country. They can pay them pennies in the dollar, and there's not much that the illegal can do to fight that. Also, when there have been Illegal worker raids at these factories, and most of their work force has been shipped back to El Salvador or Guatemala or wherever, the local citizens have spoken up and said they're thrilled to be a able to have those jobs finally offered to them, and they happily apply for them. So. By any knowledgeable or educated estimation, every worker we need should be coming in legally. We need _NO_ illegal immigration in the States. Get in line, and COME LEGALLY, and you'll be welcomed.

It would be the soviet union towards the end with bread lines.
Those plans are utterly delusional and would ruin the economy. 10% tariff would raise price of goods. You would need about a 150% tariff to replace income taxes (utterly backbreaking amount of money). Getting rid of several million workers, mostly on farms... I hope you don't like food very much?

The purpose of tariffs is not improving the GDP, the purpose of tariffs is protecting domestic labor, capital, and consumer goods markets from more competitive foreign markets by making them artificially _less_ competitive. Yes, when we abandoned our protectionist trade policies in the seventies our GDP _did_ skyrocket, but our domestic manufacturing industries all died, we lost millions of jobs, suffered enormous capital flight to the third world, and the domestic standard of living stopped growing entirely and has _yet_ to leave that plateau in all the years since. If we had kept our protectionist trade policies in place our GDP would probably be a lot lower than it is now, but we would all be a lot wealthier despite that. I don't understand why you people insist we keep our free trade policies in place, it's not an ethical problem for you, you're all fanatic statists, but there are no practical benefits to it for the _vast_ majority of the domestic populace either, so I just don't see the angle here.

"detention camps" Detention camps are temporary, and subject to limited short term stays. When you select primarily one ethnic group and concentrate them indefinitely with no trial date on a confined area, it's called something else.
For anyone who says Tariffs are bad, theyre a long term solution. While they may temporarily increase prices, you must remember that companies do charge MUCH LESS for their goods in every other region of the world, from 15% lower on average (europe) to 90% lower (india and SEA). These companies can absolutely afford it, but if they want to keep their margins in America high, theyll have to establish a manufacturing center within the US, which provides jobs. This was the main purpose of the trade war with China, which did work at least partially. Anecdotally before trumps presidency you literally could not get a PSU that wasnt manufactured in China. Now the market is a lot more diverse and cheaper.

“I’ll just pass it onto my consumers.” While income taxes (among others) avoid this, the best tax that both avoids this AND avoids putting up additional barriers to productivity is a land value tax.
The point of tariffs is to try making the overall cost of manufacturing overseas then shipping it in more expensive that manufacturing it in the country.
