Mexico: $2/hr Wages: Upcoming Commerce Department Hearings To Give New Impetus To Battle To Fix Trade

Via Frank


The Trump Administration’s views on some issues (think health care) has evolved over recent months. But on foreign trade, the Administration has consistently stuck to Donald Trump’s pre-election view that past trade deals have been a lousy deal for the U.S. worker and they need to be fixed. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross has been tough and outspoken on the need to fix the trade deficit, singling out Mexico, China, and others as nations where our trade relations can and must be improved.

Last week, the Senate approved the appointment of Bob Lighthizer as US Trade Representative, completing the triumvirate (White House advisor Peter Navarro is the third figure) that will lead the Administration’s trade policies. And later this week, Department of Commerce public hearings on “significant trade deficits” look set to shine a bright light on the causes and consequences of America’s huge and persistent trade deficits.

  1. Nice post. Well, I suppose if we lived under Ron Paul Brock style governance, lower wages wouldn't truly be such a huge deal.

    But since we live in megatax/regulation centralised, open borders America: It's cause for concern.

    We have time to prepare though.

  2. Thank God Ron Paul is relentless regarding that Fed Reserve.
    There is nothing fed about it and it reserves nothing.
    A den of thieves and pirates.
    Grassroots support was crucial in pushing this legislation across the finish line this year. A dedicated group of volunteers lobbied for the bill, and Ron Paul traveled to Arizona and testified on its behalf. https://politicalvelcraft.org/2017/05/24/arizona-governor-signs-bill-nullifying-capital-gains-taxes-on-legal-tender-of-gold-and-silver-legalizing-the-united-states-constitution/
    Woodrow Wilson was a whore.
