    How offshoring rolled along under Trump, who vowed to stop it

    Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency four years ago, in part, by a promise to Midwest factory workers that he would stop companies like Schneider Electric SE (SCHN.PA) from moving jobs out of the country.

    He didn’t stop them.

    Under Trump, US jobs are moving overseas even faster than before

    Trump’s Manufacturing Record Stinks, Newest Data Shows
    His trade wars backfired. Jobs are leaving the U.S. And Obama has a much better claim to be a friend of worker

    Corporate tax revenues boomed in 2021 and some supporters of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) argue that the big tax reductions in the bill deserve the credit (Wall Street Journal, Goodspeed and Hassett). But there is a much better explanation: Last year’s strong economic growth, high inflation, and pandemic-related relief legislation increased both corporate profits and the taxes business paid.


    Soon after the TCJA was passed, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecast corporate tax receipts would fall from 1.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2017 to 1.2 percent in 2018 and 1.3 percent in 2019 and remain below the 2017 share until 2022 (Figure 1). Actual corporate tax receipts fell even farther to 1.0 percent of GDP in 2018 and 1.1 percent in 2019. The onset of the pandemic in early 2020 drove the economy into recession and kept corporate tax receipts low.


    In 2021, corporate tax receipts grew dramatically to 1.7 percent of GDP, higher than CBO’s 2018 forecast. For 2022, CBO now forecasts corporate tax receipts will remain strong but fall to 1.6 percent of GDP, only slightly higher than it predicted in 2018.

    The reasons are pretty clear: In 2021, the economy grew at its fastest pace in three decades and inflation rose at its highest rate in four decades. From early 2020 to early 2021, Congress passed multiple bills designed both to cushion the economic and public health impact of the pandemic and help the economy recover.

    Leftists believe myths are uplifting and/or instructive stories that may or may not have some basis in reality, not histories.

    I guess if that's your take and you can't survive on your own, you're free to wallow with it.

    Very true, but it does not mean that the same government cannot destroy the country.

    Correct, that's why we still have the vote. In spite of what the MAGA crowd wants to do to our election process.
    And why we have the judicial branch.

    You have a point, but a government that is heading toward the destruction of the country it governs is not particularly bothered by voting or the courts.

    Yes it is.
    Voting ruled the day in 2020. In spite of the attempt to halt the peaceful transfer of power and halt the formal approval of all 50 State's gov's certifying their very own state election results.

    The system held up this time. But there is an attempt by MAGA people to stop people's votes from counting and their are attempting to put in people in gov't positions that will move forward the will of a party and not the will of the people.

    Some of those MAGA types have even called for war. I remember your thread on that topic.

    The idea is correct, but you have it ass backwards. The voting in 2020 bolstered the party/government that is leading the charge of destruction of the country, and did not bother them one whit.
