(10,721 posts)For the 3rd time, Germany has also outsourced low-skilled jobs with no expectation that they will return. But they've replaced those jobs with high-tech jobs, they limit wage disparity, etc.
The US needs to invest in new high-tech "green" industries. Because things like infrastructure development can no longer be considered a jobs program like it was in the New Deal days. Road work that once required hundreds can now be done by 1 person with a big piece of equipment.
You're ignoring virtually every point I've made regarding tax structure, wages, education, parental leave, etc. Things that run completely counter to what Trump proposes but are in sync with what Clinton and other Dems propose. You need to do some more research on exactly what enables Germany to thrive, instead of suggesting that Germany's ability to thrive somehow relates to what Trump campaigned on, which is laughable at best. Yet again, Trump's proposals run completely counter to what Germany has been doing.
Pointing to Germany, in other words, makes my point. It makes Clinton's point. It most certainly doesn't make Trump's point.
Lastly, there's probably more resistance to re-locating in the US than there is in Germany due to differences in size, diversity, etc.
