Being willing to move to a city for work and get retraining and/or higher education rather than expecting a bunch of $50,000/yr jobs for unskilled uneducated blue collar workers will magically appear in small towns after we start a trade war with China, deport all the illegals, and cut all the environmental and safety regulations?
1. What if you own your house outright and it costs too much to move? You can't sell 'cause nobody's moving in.
2. There's no retraining program as such in the US.
3. Does this logic apply to the denizens of the inner cities? I'm guessing if some poor bastard moves from a poor small town, that's where their new 'hood will be now.
4. I don't think a VAT tax would cause a trade war. The US is stupid 'cause it doesn't have these legit trade barriers. Fair is far.
5. Illegals = illegal. That needs to be fixed. First secure the border, then start the path to citizenship.
6. Yes, it's stupid to delete environmental/safety regulations.
