Trump is a salesman. He won't discuss "HOW" to,"Make America Great Again." Its all about his own fame.
Here's a big detail he has given often: end the Cold War with Russia, get the US out of paying for NATO, work with the Russians to wipe out ISIS militarily, and be even handed in negotiating a peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
Do those things, and defense costs will plummet, saving trillions, balancing the budget, and making everything else easier.
And Trump doesn't need Congress to do ANY of that: foreign policy is the purview of the President. He needs Congress to deploy troops, but he doesn't need Congress to order the troops home.
Also,I think Trump will alter the course of trade to be more to the benefit of the USA, rather than to foreign nations. If anyone can alter that course, to get companies to move back to the US, it is Trump. If we do not have manufacturing industries, there is no way to build up the middle class, which is vital for the US to have a solid economy.
Yep. What we use here, we should produce here. What we eat here, we should grow here.
Of course that means that we still have to import bananas and coffee and mangoes, no matter what. That's fine.
And of course people can "pay up" for foreign luxuries - the textile industry wasn't put out of business by Gucci and Hermes.
But mass-produced consumer goods - that employs masses of people. either here or in China. Free trade has shifted all of those jobs to China, to the detriiment of our people.
To the detriment of who? Assembly line workers? Yes, I agree.
But for the rest of America, the resulting lower prices are a real benefit.
So you think the government should favor rich people so they can buy cheap slave labor products cheeply. Then the working class gets replaced by foreigners. That isn't a country. That is an oligarchy.
For the people who you say benefit. I disagree. They have higher taxes and more welfare to pay for because of their greed.
NAFTA needs repealed. The economy worked better for Americans prior to NAFTA.
"I think that if we paid a little more for stuff here and had more jobs for our people."
A little more, huh? Seattle is demanding that employers pay $15 an hour as a minimum wage.
Now let's add to that the cost of health care, paid time off, vacations, sick time, employer contribution to a 401k, and unemployment compensation.
Then there's the overhead for employee lawsuits -- discrimination, sexual harassment, injuries. Plus the cost of customer lawsuits and compliance with OSHA and EPA.
