and between that and high taxes Trumps economy proved them all wrong and raised wages at the bottom end without even trying. Yeah I saw that bullshit for years after watching drunk and stoned Lou Dobbs I was more intelligent about how finance systems should work than all the smart college people I worked with in the late 90's. I think I'd piss them off when I'd say "You don't see that, you seriously cannot see that this treaty was going to make us loose jobs by the millions and make the deficit bigger with all the welfare and food stamps but less taxes being paid. When you have a stoner and drunk schooling your ass on NAFTA/GATT you are not as smart as you thunk you were. I kind of felt sorry since they were being paid so much and they were not using common sense and just doing general math as in if you do this then you minus this huge thing and add this large expense while not having these taxes from worker and the companies nearby they support and it's like dominoes but some dominoes have a delayed reaction and fall a couple months are the other ones already fell. I could see it all in my head like a sim city setup and these fuckers couldn't understand why the city would have to pay welfare since the restaurant across the street from that factory lost almost all their cash flow during the week , then the butcher loses more money then the place that cleans all the businesses aprons and table clothes is running low on cash. It was so simple you just had to imagine what would happen if a b or c was affected and what would they then affect on an on. This is why someone that knows a recession is coming buys a new house for 400k who works for a business that might be doing layoffs, not a care in the world.
