The anti-globalist rhetoric of Trump, Clinton, and other political whores, including Paul Ryan, is basically a smokescreen for cronyism.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 3, 2016
The only conspiracy is against consumers by the anti-globalists. Whereas managed trade deals like NAFTA, TTP, and TTIP are not free, improve— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 3, 2016
In understand the corrupt nature of the anti-traders, there is an economic concept called concentrated benefits and diffuse costs.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 3, 2016
There's also an important economic distinction between upstream and downstream production. Upstream is more resource-oriented for downstream— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 3, 2016
Downstream production is oriented towards consumer products. When Bush slapped an illegal tariff on imported steel, +costs downstream.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 4, 2016
But consumers of steel, e.g., vehicle producers, were adversely affected by higher prices without competition. Higher prices: - employment.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 3, 2016
The steel tariff was "justified" by anti-dumping allegations, i.e., foreigners selling exports below cost to win market share in the US.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 3, 2016
But the steel producers used their clout with Bush (an upcoming reelection) to argue for tariffs. What about the effects on the downsteam?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 3, 2016
Domestic downstream producers have to compete against foreign producers with access to market-priced steel, affecting margins and/or sales.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 3, 2016
