Which Trump Will The World See?
#1
This is not NEWS. It's an opinon piece from todays (12/20) New York Times. I thought the author makes some valid points and alerts us to things we might be alert to as Mr. Trump takes office. 

I highlighted a few things I noticed: You may see others (or none). 



One of the basic themes of Donald J. Trump’s election campaign was that the United States was being ripped off by foreign countries and that his administration would reduce our trade deficit.
Yet the budget policies he is now proposing would be sharply at odds with that goal. By advocating an expansive budget through tax cuts and infrastructure spending, Mr. Trump’s plan would most likely lower national savings and propel the United States dollar ever higher, creating the very conditions to widen rather than to narrow the trade deficit.
Mr. Trump seems to be overlooking a matter of basic arithmetic. While a country’s trade balance is the difference between a country’s exports and imports, it is also the difference between the amount it saves and invests, as can be derived from rearranging the components of a country’s aggregate demand equation. If a country saves more than it invests, it will run a trade surplus. Conversely, a country that saves less than it invests will run a trade deficit.
Seemingly oblivious to this basic math, Mr. Trump is proposing far-reaching and seemingly unfunded cuts in both corporate and household tax rates. Worse yet, he is simultaneously proposing large increases in both public infrastructure and military spending.
He is doing so in the unrealistic hope that these policies will cause the economy to accelerate from its present 2 percent growth rate to between 3 and 4 percent. And he is counting on such faster economic growth to generate additional tax revenue.


Should a significant pickup in economic growth not materialize, the net effect of these tax cuts and public spending policies will almost certainly lead to a significant widening of the budget deficit and to a corresponding decline in public savings. That, in turn, would in all probability lead to a significant widening of the trade deficit as the country’s overall savings rate would decline.
A further basic weakness of Mr. Trump’s budget proposal is that it would add stimulus to the economy at the very time that the economy is at or very close to full employment. That policy is bound to raise concerns about inflation and to push the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates more than it is currently contemplating in order to meet its inflation target.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the global economy right now is the divergence of monetary policy stances among the world’s major central banks. The United States Federal Reserve is now embarked on a path of raising interest rates at a time when the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan are still engaged in aggressive rounds of quantitative easing in an effort to kick-start their moribund economies.
Forcing the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at a faster pace than it is presently contemplating will only serve to widen the difference between it and the other major central banks. This would more than likely put further upward pressure on the dollar.
Since the November election, the United States dollar has already appreciated significantly, to its strongest level in the past 14 years. The last thing that the country needs if it is to reduce its trade deficit is a further dollar appreciation. Such an appreciation would make our exports across the board more expensive in foreign markets and make our imports cheaper in United States dollar terms. That would hardly seem to be the way to reduce the country’s trade deficit.

A real concern is that, as the United States external deficit widens because of a reckless budget policy approach, Mr. Trump will double down on his interventionist and protectionist approach to trade matters. As we saw in his recent intervention with the Carrier Corporation, this seems to be his preferred way of dealing with trade issues.
If he does go down that path, he will risk inviting trade retaliation by our trade partners, which could lead the global economy down the road to the beggar-thy-neighbor policies of the 1930s. As surely even Mr. Trump must know, trade wars are no solution.

"As surely even Mr. Trump must know, trade wars are no solution."

As surely even Donny must know, climate change from all causes must be addressed.

As surely even Donny must know, Obama was born in Hawaii.

As surely even Donny must know, he didn't see thousands of Muslims cheer the taking down of the World Trade Center.

As surely even Donny must know, the Central Park Five were proven innocent.

Just think if your handlers had told guys to spend this much time researching obozo before, during, and after his election. We wouldn't have had so many records set in a negative way. Instead you guys were told to ridicule anyone who questioned his political ties, aquaintances, education, experience, religious leanings, etc. To think you guys wonder why you have been diagnosed with a mental disorder.

You need to know this: Pulling your brain out through your nose and playing with it, then stuffing it back in, takes it toll. 

The above proves the point. 


I admit that is harsh and unfriendly but when you post things like, "To think you guys wonder why you have been diagnosed with a mental disorder.", you have to expect some blow back.

 What this clown is referring to, the term "liberalism is a mental disorder" Is from a far right wing lunatic Am radio talk show host Michael Savage.
Listen to the guy for five seconds and then you will know where SF OL and HUGO get their information.
It also explains one reason how a crass buffoon like trump could get elected.

Brings up a good point, TVg. Where DO so many of our "conservative brethren" get there news/information? They condemn the "main stream media", say they don't listen to AM radio talk shows and now that Glenn Beck has gone totally bonkers, I can't help but wonder where the information comes from. Fox News? (Fair and balanced  Laughing ) .

Maybe word of mouth from other folks at the feed store.

I'm not an Alex Jones listener, even if I wanted to be his voice is far to grating for me to listen to him. It's like he is in a constant state of needing to clear his throat and never does, he must have a phlegm ball with a death grip on his larynx.

GREAT POINT! I love radio (but NEVER listen to call in shows). And one would think that a necessary prerequisite for being a radio "personality" would be a good voice. 
Not always so. 
PS: The majority of "radio shows" I listen to are Podcasts. I can listen when I want rather than when it's being broadcast. 
Not that anyone cares, but a few the shows I enjoy:

MMA seems like a waste of time. Why not put two guys in a cage, give 'em each a double bladed ax, and the guy who comes out alive wins. Or maybe shotguns: So much quicker. 

So...no one interested in Podcasts?

I am in total agreement. It's similar to the orgy of joy I have been experiencing listening to (and reading) the excuses and lamentations of Hillary Clinton supporters since her incompetence and inadequacy were fully revealed. Joy to the world!

So...no one interested in Podcasts?

I prefer listening to music when the radio is on. But, I am curious why you would listen to a podcast about summer clothing???  Selected shorts?

Smiling . It's people reading SHORT stories. Some, very good and read by actors who do a fine job.

That reminds me of listening too the two announcers who favor one of the two MMA fighters. Trying their hardest to be non biased and trying to hide their disappointment when THEIR guy is losing.

MMA seems like a waste of time. Why not put two guys in a cage, give 'em each a double bladed ax, and the guy who comes out alive wins. Or maybe shotguns: So much quicker.
