And they're not very likely to make $24/hr. Welfare is a rough way to live. It doesn't pay very well.
I'm pretty curious to know what the deal was. I'll withhold judgment (positive or negative) until we know what was traded. barfo
Trump is going to repatriate $trillions in corporations' money that is stuck overseas. Regardless of the bullshit fairness some might perceive, it's $trillions that will be spent and will jack up the economy. No gimmicks, either.
That's not exactly accurate. Much, probably most, of that money is already here jacking up the economy in various ways. It isn't literally 'stuck overseas'. It simply belongs to subsidiaries based overseas. What repatriation will do is increase dividend payments and stock buybacks. Which is good for investors, and to the extent investors spend their gains, that can help the economy. But the major effect is more tax revenue for the government - which is a pretty funny thing for you to be excited about. barfo
The money will be spent here, not overseas. Your kind has been too greedy about TAKING the companies' money that they got $0 in tax. Pretty funny in its own right.
If that works for you....hey..sure....I'm completely nuts...you keep asking people who disagree with you if they are out of touch with reality....well from my own insane reality I think you're posts are all about baiting and talking down to people.....how much money they make and what they do for a living isn't something you have a handle on or the skillsets they use to do their jobs....but that went right over your head and ended up with you not grasping that most of us multi task and some even have many skills you don't know about.....I was being snarky because I sense you were being judgemental......in your case....it's accumulative. And you can go ahead and do that all you like....but you should expect reactions from time to time.
All he has to do is announce an amnesty and a 5% repatriation tax. All the money will come over. Obama wouldn't due it because 5% isn't "fair." The thing is, if they bring $2T from overseas, it'll boost GDP by $2T. Without borrowing from the Chinese or printing the money. What a concept!
Like I said, the money is already here. It's a fiction that it is 'stuck overseas'. It just hasn't been taxed. You can blame the corporate tax rate, or you can blame those who created the offshore loophole. Either way is fine with me. Whether 'my kind' or 'your kind' originally created the situation, I'm in favor of fixing the problem permanently - tax foreign profits immediately, no more deferral. barfo

I'm all for any progress on that end...just haven't seen any....I'm really interested in how this all unfolds..I'll cheer for any action that solves problems at home...just nothing to cheer for yet. Stay tuned......
I know Romney stashed money in the Caymans and Belgium and Trump is invested overseas....wouldn't he lead by example first and just make Trump corporation hire American immediately? Wouldn't that be more along the lines of his "only I can fix it all" chant?
Might want to go pick up all the tanks, jeeps, transports, and war equipment in the middle east and Afghanistan, ship it to Pittsburg and make shit out of the metal for a change.
It's funny you spend so much time bashing the media and then get conned by a very shallow media story. Dig a little deeper, Denny. barfo
I got interrupted so I'm going to be as clear as I can. If you argue the definition of unskilled labor as being how many other skills a person who does the job has that aren't related to the actual job....... I don't what else to do but dismiss your entire post as moronic. Thinking outside the box is good for coming up with solutions, not arguing the definitions of things.
