Popular Post RobbyXNorway Posted August 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2019 As a Norwegian I find it hilarious. He is piling up the tariffs...for the americans to pay. He is essentialy creating inflation in the US through tariffs. The US doesnt have the infrastructure to "take home" the industry they so happily outsourced in the late 80s, throught the 90s and early 2000s. The US Economic house of debt-cards will come crashing down. Its inevitable. The US GDP has been inflated over many years so the real Debt-to-GDP ratio is much higher than is shown in official statistics. This was done throug instruments like hedonic methodology. My expectation is that the second that Saudi Arabia and/or OPEC opens oil-trade in other currencies than the USD, then the US is truly <deleted>. 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only doesn't it have the infrastructure to do so, but alternative locations like Vietnam don't have enough workers to do what the Chinese are doing. Nor the technical abilities. Manufacturers Want to Quit China for Vietnam. They’re Finding It Impossible. Global companies are rushing to seek alternative bases, only to find even promising countries like Vietnam don’t match up https://www.wsj.com/articles/for-manufacturers-in-china-breaking-up-is-hard-to-do-11566397989 As for the claims about hedonic methodology understating inflation...Under the aegis of MIT something called the Billion Prices Project was launched. Essentially it tracked inflation by gathering prices from commercial internet sites. All the folks who believed, as you do, got very excited about this project. They were sure that the Bureau of Labor Statistics was understating inflation. You know what the Billion Prices Project found? That the BLS had gotten it right all along. http://www.thebillionpricesproject.com/us-online-price-index/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
