As it pertains to this particular group, that would be extremely difficult.
No one makes you stay here? When do you crack your half a millionth post?

(1) This severely undercuts domestic production which negatively affects job production as well as product quality.
The jobs flow with the excess spending the cheaper goods create. Typically, that's higher margin and more advanced output that keeps us ahead of the game.
Quality is a market issue that comes with lower prices. The country who does the manufacturing also typically doesn't control the specs, either. You will have this issue with all cheaper production, regardless of the government intervention at play.

(2) It creates a severe national security issue when it comes to essentially things like medicine, etc.
Even Friedman and Sowell agree, to an extent. We're not full blown ancaps.
However, you have to be REAL tight with the definition of "national security" or you end up with another "infrastructure"
Or, if you want another contemporary example, we don't want identification done as easily as other "national security" issues, specifically classified documents.

How in everloving hell do liberal policies aid you in your ability to support yourself?
I don’t look at myself as if I’m a crab in a bucket. I don’t need to step on others to elevate myself. I also think about my entire experience as a human in the world, not just my individual bank account when determining my priorities.

I've never personally visited the wreck of the Titanic, but I can comment on it. I've never personally flown to the moon, but I can certainly comment on weightlessness, the lunar surface, etc.
Is the only evidence of the Titanic or moon landing found in tweets? I am extremely skeptical of “news” posted on social media. I find it comical that men who think so highly of themselves and their intelligence flock to social media for rage bait and “news.”
Re: the link you posted - I can google evidence of Big Foot so I guess he’s real too.

There is nothing about (actually) conservative economics that require people to be hurt.

No. It makes no sense and doesn't reflect reality.

Tell Thomas Sowell he's wrong, too, please
Sure, and i'd tell Milton Friedman (who I greatly admire) as well if he were still alive.
I had a conversation with one of your "educated professional" buffoons about this topic. He trotted out Milton's line, "we get a useful product and they get a piece of paper" and thought he was so clever.
I responded with, "which the Chinese then use to buy our country in the physical form of our real estate and more importantly all of our institutions including our government"
No response.

Market manipulation and huge government spending is in no way "free trade".
Exactly , and that's why punishing bad actors like China is so critical to furthering free trade.
That's twice in this thread we agree.

Major planks of his campaign directly target taxation, market intervention, and forced redistribution.
Cutting taxes, deregulation are major planks and he has a track record of doing so.

And that's before we even talk about the legacy programs that do this which he supports (like Social Security).
I think Trump would support privatizing ss, but he also has to be elected to continue his best in class free trade track record. This ss position is uniform across every candidate running for president for one of the two parties for as long as you and I have been alive so drawing a distinction is meaningless. Especially to defend your "not trump" insanity.

This is a very emotional description exaggerating impacts.
China spending money here (legally) isn't a problem. They buy our higher-margin goods that keep us ahead of them, economically. That's a good thing. We stay ahead of them and carve out our irreplaceable role even more, while they stay fungible, lower-level, and lower-margin.
Again, win-win for us.
quote:

Nobody has argued China supports free trade.
That's irrelevant to US policy.
China's manipulation helps the US, our citizens, and our economy. China steals money from its population to permit us to remain economically superior. Win-win.

The GOPE does, and he enacted their policies. Just like he joined in their strategy on appointing judges and tax cuts. Those aren't Trump policies. That happens every time the GOP gets in power and the party gets to flex. Trump was along for the ride provided by Mitch McConnell and company.

He literally attacked RDS on sensible, small-scale reforming of the program. I can only go off what he's stated out loud.
I'm not a leftist and I don't engage in mind reading like they do.

Crabs in a bucket may try to climb atop each other. However, the person intending to eat them eventually shifts the top ones to the bottom, and bottom to top to keep the ones at the bottom alive.
Think of capitalism as free crabs in the ocean. They can compete as much or as little as they like, but all are free to thrive in their own way. My successes are built on market and service creation. Not squashing others.

Can’t possibly be as easily illustrated as the commercials for a product where the seller also contributes the product to a charity in impoverished Africa with each purchase …
thus limiting the opportunity for the locals to have a repair or retail shop and actually earn money leading eventually to employment and opportunities for others.
