An American Industrial Dilemma

In his book “The Rise and Fall of American Growth” by Economist Robert Gordon, he presents a very dismal picture of the future of American productivity (https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/8148639817518006596)

1. GORDON concludes that “American workers still produce a good amount of most economic activity per hour of any economy in the world. But the near-miraculous productivity growth that essentially transformed the US into one of the world’s most affluent societies is permanently in the country’s REARVIEW MIRROR”. And Why is that? MR. TRUMP’s message to the American people has been resoundingly clear:    America’s industrial and manufacturing plight is a culmination of many factors from mass industrial layoffs and lost jobs; ever growing numbers of manufacturers abandoning American soil and taking advantage an weak and poorly written Trade Agreements; and the ability of American manufacturers to exploit international outsourcing of cheaper material and labor.     In essence, MR. TRUMP’s assessment of CHINA, JAPAN, MEXICO, KOREA, VIETNAM (to name a few) and sense of urgency to “reform” trade agreements with these and other countries; is spot on.    MR. ROBERT MORLEY in his article “The Death of American Manufacturing”, (https://www.thetrumpet.com/article/2061.24.80.0/economy/the-death-of-american-manufacturing)  His conclusions are nearly verbatim of MR. TRUMP’S message to America.    America, you need to ask yourself why then has Congress and the President failed to act on these massive manufacturing loopholes?     Merely follow the money trail as to who financed many of our Capital Hill politicians and the truth will be shocking.
