This should not come as a surprise to anyone.
We can be a tiny bit sympathetic with RoJo, but I've never seen a press release of his touting Fair Trade. He's been brainwashed into believing that consumers 'buy cheap' because they ARE cheap. He prolly never thought that consumers 'buy cheap' because the US is importing wage deflation from slave states around the world.....
...In Wisconsin, a big manufacturing state, in seven years I have not
visited one manufacturer that could hire enough people. That was
certainly my experience in the last 20, 25 years. For a host of reasons,
we tell our kids you have to get a four-year degree. We pay people not
to work. So we do need to be concerned about, in such a tight labor
market, do we have enough workers in manufacturing.
So my final point is, it makes no sense for me to try and
bring back high labor-content manufacturing to America. We need to do
the value added things. And so I would just say, proceed with real caution there....
Well, yes, the "four-year degree" disease is a factor, as is welfare. What else could possibly be a factor, Ron? Can you spell W-A-G-E-S, Ron?
Why yes, I knew you could!! So what holds down W-A-G-E-S, Ron? The competition from slave states like Red China??
OK, then, we can neuter that with what's called "Fair Trade" tariffs, Ron. See, "Fair Trade" takes into account the burdens of enterprise in the USA such as OSHA, FLSA, UC, EPA, health insurance, social security,....all that stuff that Governments here require but the ChiComs (just one example) do not.
Don't like "Fair Trade", Ron? Or do you??
Whose working-class do you prefer? Ours? Or Theirs?
WOW, UNREAL he said that, he is part of the uniparty Swamp American Haters..
