Imagine yourself cleaning up a yard that hasn't been mowed or cleaned in years. At first you gotta cut down the saplings and pick up all the obstacles in the yard. After that, You can tell its gonna take you about 20 hours of work to get this done. But thats an estimate.
They can see NOW about how much they are going to find. They are just getting started. They can't really see all the hidden obstacles, they can't foretell all the democrat judges that are going to try to stop them. But they know its a HUGE sum of money.
I'm really good on really bad analogies.
ANd now I see where I wrote this on the wrong topic.

Why do we need more jobs when we have the lowest unemployment rate in the world and just had an absolute stellar jobs report? The government now wants our country to just work hard instead of smart? Help me understand. Those are very low paying jobs. The only people who will want those jobs he’s deporting left and right. Right now all that’s happening is money is going out of Americans pockets and going straight into the federal government.
Manufacturing jobs build the middle class. Younger generation doesn't seem to want to work. Gonna suck for them.

We'd love to, but you'd cry about that too.

Your concern is noted, AOC.

No. I'm educating your leftism with facts and logic.
Sweatshops are good for poor nations. They give those nations an opportunity to advance from poverty and agrarian economies to industrial and developed economies.

Why?
In Friedman's analogy, you've hired the secretary. If you chose to fire her, there is limited productivity risk. You can immediately return to typing while you look for a new secretary. None of that is apropos.

So we should subsidize every industry to ensure they're here?

Definitely catfish and shrimp.
I mean hell, someone already said something about the US being self sufficient for coffee.

That's why when the "national security" stuff starts I demand the full list up front, to avoid the potential of the moving target.

Then I can only assume you haven't really followed the arguments people are making and what they think a trade deficit means.
Perhaps to test validity, we could change grocery to drug dealer?
In reality though, trade is a partnership. There is no partnership between an individual shopper and a grocery store

With ever-changing technology, it's impossible for the list to remain static.
When the army relied heavily on horses and mules we needed a robust horse and mule industry. Not so much anymore.

Climate change is more believable than how we define unemployment

No. He understands the cost of this.
You're trying to use it to justify subsidizing US industry to avoid these potential negative externalities (the cost may never materialize).

unvaccinated individuals bear "a ton of moral responsibility" for straining healthcare systems, particularly due to the availability of a "free, easy, readily available shot" that reduces severe outcomes.
Is this you? This is a pretty leftist position in most people’s opinion.

That probably fits with my notion of capacity.

You can use any voluntary exchange between two parties you like.

There isn't? Is my wife required to shop there or is it voluntary?
