I’m not an American but I think it’s not fair to focus on the jobs being exporting rather than the people doing the exporting. There’s no shortage of funding for wars. Wars in the Middle East have cost 5-10 trillion as per various estimates. There are trillions of dollars held abroad in tax havens that the government is too afraid to touch. America has enough money to give every family high quality education, college, daycare and welfare Cheques.
- mberning 6y agoI agree on the endless overseas misadventures. As far as the economics go, the government makes it easy to crush the blue collar working class. I do not fault the business for doing what they do when the government makes it so very easy for them. My idea would be to come up with a metric like the human development index and use that to calculate the tariff placed on goods produced in other countries. Obviously countries which abuse labor and do not respect human rights, such as China, would face a huge tariff. A country such as Canada would face little or no tariff. I completely disagree with putting people on welfare. It should be there as a safety net, not a lifestyle. People will be much happier and less prone to engage in crime of if they are occupied in gainful employment.
