Lower prices are more important than creating jobs for Americans!

Debate Information

If American factory workers can't find work, it is their own fault, not the rest of the countries fault. It's UNAmerican to make the rest of the country have to pay more, and have their cost of living go up, just to employ those people.

    Listen piloteer.

    The stock market predicts yield curves that effectively determine the stock markets collapse and failure.

    Considering the Dow and other big buisness are expieriencing decline, you better prepare for the greateast American recession and revolt you've ever seen.

    So you're aware, America is going backwards to the stone age.

    Do you want to know how to survive?

    "Creating jobs" really is a pointless activity; jobs naturally arise on a free market when there is supply of workforce. The phrase "creating jobs" really reminds me of the late Soviet Union, where production was collapsing and people were unneeded, so the government created countless pointless paper pushing jobs that served no function, but kept people occupied.

    The US companies should adapt to the international market and outcompete it, otherwise they do not deserve the right to be on the market in the first place. Let the best product sell the most, and let the incompetent enterpreneurs learn from their mistakes.

    Agreed. It's irritating to see Americans think China is the bad guy, but it's the American labor force who wants our minimum wages to continue to go up, but most Americans have no understanding that that causes prices to go up for everybody. If the minimum wage was removed, everything would be cheap, and American companies would actually consider hiring American employees, and staying in America. It is also a common held belief that we owe China billions of dollars because of a trade deficit we have with China. That's absolutely untrue though. Our debt with China has to do with our national debt caused by our social programs and all the money we spend on them, and since the US has the best loan repayment rating in the world, foreign investors like to buy American bonds, chiefly Chinese investors. It's most irritating to see how politicians on both sides will allow the American public to have these grave misconceptions about what's actually happening, and instead of telling the public the truth, they'll tell the public there gonna make China play fair, and there gonna raise the minimum wage more.

    One thing that's always predictable is that every time the stock market crashes, all the alarmists say we're going to have a civil war, and our economy will be destroyed, and we'd better be ready to except jesus because he's surely coming this time.

    NO. I'm not interested on any advice from you on how to survive!

    I would argue that China IS the bad guy, in more than one way - but that does not excuse embracing protectionist policies that harm the American customers, and even harm the very companies they are supposed to support.

    I just had a conversation with a businessman recently whose company is strongly dependent on the Aluminium supply, and his primary wholesale supplier is a branch of a Chinese company in the US. The tariffs led to sharp increase of Aluminium import prices, and he is now redesigning his business model, as the old one is no longer profitable.

    President Trump mistakenly assumes that the international trade is a zero-sum game: someone wins, someone loses. In reality, both parties always benefit, and tariffs merely reduce the benefits and the amount of trade. Tariffs do not make trade deals more advantageous to the US and are essentially an indirect form of taxation of the US residents.

    China is pretty terrible in my mind also, but not because of having cheap labor and sytheticaly devaluing their currency. Trampling on peoples rights, and removing anything related the the Tiananmen square protester from the internet, is not what I'd consider being a good guy.
