So much winning...

and thsys why i listen to men like ron paul who have the same msg since, well...the 80's. even tho i thi k krugman is a smart guy and is right on some things...his political bias is "quite obvious" so i dont pay much attn to him. Paul is outside the right vs left political spectrum. i guarantee u paul agrees wirh trump in principal with alot of things and vice versa....but u can see paul is concerned about the aforementioned galactic trade war that seems imminent.
my point of all this is that im not wetting my finger and holding it up to the wind such as guys like you do. im drawing on multiple sources that ive been listening to for quite some time and they too arent drifting in the political winds. do i agree with paul on everything? ofc not. try researching some stuff sometime instead of being spoonfed from one immutable source. its interesting stuff frankly even if at times you cant follow everything because you dont have a phd in econ. men like ron paul make it a point to break things down succinctly for people who havent studied econ professionally. educating urself doesnt mean ur going to magically turn into a liberal and start going to the truck stop gloryholes on the weekend with diehard.....although im sure he'd love to have you along.

Not saying that Ron Paul is an idiot but just to put a gold star on your paper He also mentioned mentioned Krugman oh, and I'll see that and raise you a Robert Reich. Or Paul volcker? Keynes? Hell Karl Marx for that matter oh, and even though she doesn't have a degree in economics Ayn Rand. But you just as well off to close your eyes and throw a dart because you have plenty of guys that really know a lot and in that case they should agree but....
It comes back to being a braggart on the football board. Frankly if I had the job and didn't have to worry about jerks trying to deep-six me at every turn like the president has there's a basic framework I would set out and ask whatever experts I could get to make it happen. Or fire them and find somebody willing to. But so far I think it stinks. And a trade war is the least of my concern.

and thats because you've never learned about our monetary system and how trade impacts the value of our currency. im not blowing it out my butt when i say the money you have sitting right now in ur savings could be affected by a trade war with just one country, let alone a ww3 trade war.
would prices adjust to such an event? i sure hope so. that farmer from dayton told me in the short term co sumers would benefit from soy producers having to dump their product on the cheap if china stops buying. but theres so many other industries that could collapse and people yank their money out of the market out of fear.....now we're getting into complexities i cant wrap my head around. chris would have been the guy for this but u guys ran him off a long time ago. point is this is stuff im not saying u should having an anxiety attack over, yet, but at the same time ur "no big deal trumps got this" attitude is also starkly shortsighted. men like trump moved significant portions of their money into foreign baskets ages ago cause the people who know things have quietly been telling wealthy people to hedge their bets and diversify their munnehs. how many of us common ngrs have that luxury?

Great we're back to your pompous bragging about your deep understanding of the workings of the world's economic underpinnings. Just like the blowhards on the Browns board spouting off how little everyone else knows about football. Okay smart guy. Are we going to have a trade war and if so when? What countries will damage our economy by adding it tariffs to their goods, and just what goods would those be? Tell me when it starts and give me a few General ideas. Or just keep going on like you are blah blah blah well it's bad because it's, like, a war and war is like, bad right?
And just a guess from you oh enlightened one, which countries have the most to lose in any kind of trade conflict with the United States of America? We make better beer than the Canadiens now.

yawn....I just spent a couple posts saying that the deep workings of the worlds economy are far above my level. Which is why I furnished a link to the writings of a man who does infact understand the worlds economies at their most intricate levels. If you don't want to actually absorb what im saying don't respond. I can't answer your questions and outright said I couldn't....what I said was that if certain things go down than here are some very likely scenario's. I told you to go read sht up yourself but if you couldn't be bothered that's fine

Yes you did. You also spend a good portion of those posts berating other people for not understanding. At least not up to your level. So there you go sir. Put your money where your mouth is and make the prediction. And no, I couldn't be bothered. If I post a big load of crap and you asked me where it came from I'm glad to tell you. Also know I'm not inclined to read a hundred thousand words by every economist on the payroll of the left, the right or the mainstream media. I might possibly skim a summary but outside of that what's the point. Seriously if you think one of these guys, Ron Paul in particular, has got it in hand that look no further.
My predictions are valid though. I might be proven wrong and then you can do your Superior dance. If we go to war with North Korea if there's a trade war that plunges into a depression you name it. I say it's not going to happen and I think I will be proved right.

Also if it's your intention to damur then when does Ron Paul think the trade war, and the ensuing depression, is going to happen and what does he think the eventual outcome will be? If for no other reason than even you don't think he will ever have his hands on the control of the economy.
WSS
-
he's predicting a massive collapse of the economy regardless of a trade war. The trade war would just likely hasten it in his opinion. Trade is just a piece of the puzzle that he says will contribute to the collapse, but there are other reasons dealing with our monetary structure that are far more pressing and he's likely right. This is something you won't hear from ANY economists on the right or left....so the likelihood you'd be familiar with any of these concepts is likely nill and vice versa for liberals who think Krugman and Reich invented economics.

anyway...i was onboard with a mini trade war with china but now that stupid cnt is throwing canada and the EU in there. so essentially driving more business and investment to china and russia. does this make any sense? its like he's deliberately helping russia and china ascend. gotta deal with one country at a time. he's a drunk old man at a bar swing a broken beer bottle at anyone that walks past

Conservative Republican former VP Goldman-Sacks and former ambassador to Canada has his opinions that are worth listening to if you have anything invested in the markets. Trump is an idiot who listens to idiots and they are about to wreck everything economically for this country on top of wrecking our alliances. From Bloomberg News interview:

You don't use sledgehammers for every problem. Trump has the same tool for everything that needs fixing. Just not smart.

Nor is it smart to cower in fear of taking the brunt of the Europeans rhetoric, bend over and hand them the Vaseline. The Europeans and Canadians and Mexicans are not our enemies but they are certainly our adversaries in a World Market like Russia China Etc. I will assume you would support pulling out of the Iran deal, for instance, if John McCain were president. Of course he wouldn't have signed it in the first place.
Every country has their own best interest in mind, and the interests of the United States of America will never do better than second place for them, nor should they.

i think wss might be onto something with this adversarial combat trade thing. every trade deal should be signed right in the middke of an all out brawl by carefully selected combatants. cause trade ia an inherently adversarial notion ofc.

I don't know if you're trying to be Pollyanna but trade is increasingly adversarial. Much of the manufacturing mining and Timber at cetera not to mention oil can be found in more than one place. Some manufactured goods are going to be labor specific which would equal be a cost for labor specific. That means in a country that can pay people less and spend less on EPA regulations are going to be at an advantage.
Canada and Germany shouldn't fall into that category but you have to know when to rob Peter or pay Paul. Why should we buy a steel and aluminum from Canada in the first place? Or corn or wheat? That's something we do pretty well.

yeah im just trolling....butt..trade is complicated steve. one thong that isnt talked about os our reserve status. id bet my left nut alot of these trade imbalances are in part at leadt the result of the u.s giving countries a sweet deal so that nobody even thinks about going off the dollar. trump can negotiate hard ball all he wants but if a number of countries mention perhaps dotching the dollar, it woukd have to be a significant number of countries colluding, but if they did that.....u would watch ur president, the man u voted for, performing explicit homosexual acts on live global tv. macron would get a thumb in his butt. because trump knows that would be the end of us. i listened years ago to the ceo of a fortune 500 company who may have had a few too many before he blurted to thevroom the u.s would go to war with the entire world if they ditched the dollar. the nearly free capital and credit that many u.s corporations enjoy would come crashing down over night. the u.s would instantly lose its place on the world stage.

No doubt, I can't help but agree with a lot of that. As a matter of fact that's the basis of my theory about the Iraq War. It wasn't that we cared about weapons of mass destruction, even though I have no doubt Saddam had some and deep six them while he pulled Hans Blix around by his pekar, but because he was planning on trading the world's second largest oil Reserve in euros. Guess why are only allies were the English who don't use the euro but the pound sterling? And guess why are two biggest European adversaries we're so against this war? Germany and France stood to gain the most buy a switch in currency.

I personally think ur dead right about the Iraq war. I don't remember germany and france being against the Iraq war tho, I thought we had a pretty big coalition against saddaam. But I don't doubt that a lot of euro countries would have been more than happy to have the euro go full global reserve. This is why im concerned about Trumps strategy. The trade war with gyyynaaa? long overdue...im all onboard with him there. Glad to have read tho that congress is going against him on the alleviation of the ZTE regulations. But still, overall...it's about fukking time one of our fukking presidents addressed the blatant intellectual property theft that China essentially just says "hey that's our business model deal with it or kick rocks". But we have to maintain our leverage against China. If we have multiple concurrent wars china's just gonna wait us out. Take the soybean farmer from Dayton....it might be possible for those guys to find other buyers for their soybeans, maybe not get as much or nto the same volume as selling to china, but it would be "something".....if we're at war with Canada, Mexico, the EU etc, etc....where are those guys gonna dump those beans? Me personally if I was a farmer i'd look into growing other sht...but these modern farmers they all wanna grow one single commodity....EZ mode.
