| Tomgram: John Feffer, The Jaws Presidency |
By John Feffer 2018-07-24
Agriculture, construction, and the service sector all rely heavily on recent immigrants... Immigrant workers, both legal and undocumented, make the U.S. economy an estimated 11% larger than it would otherwise be. / [Trump's] “$800 billion a year” ...trade deficit with countries around the world... doesn’t incorporate the net surplus in "services" -- such as tourism, royalties, and banking -- the United States has with other countries, which promptly brings that figure down to $500 billion. / The organs of the global economy like the World Trade Organization set the rules of the road that have consistently preserved Washington’s privileges, including the dollar’s use as the world’s most common reserve currency. / Far more important [than the tariff deficit is] the enormous and ever-growing debt the United States has, something the Trump tax “reform” plan and his driving desire to continually boost the country’s already bloated military spending only aggravate. |
