    According to some, The Little Red Hen is predicting an overturn of RvW.

    There are a number of partial solutions that don't involve income redistribution through the tax system. Tariffs and quotas are one approach, but they're unlikely to be successful because other countries will retaliate with tariffs of their own. It means we can't protect high wage, low skill jobs. Another approach is to train (and retrain) workers for high skill jobs so they can earn high wages. Of course, there are only so many high wage jobs, and it may prove difficult to retrain older workers.

    Liberal activists are rubbing their hands together at the prospect of having a lot of really pissed off women they fire up at election time.

    We are the largest economy and other countries depend on us for trade

    China is getting fat off the trade surplus with America

    If we can be punished for demanding balanced trade now then it will only get worse in the future if we do nothing

    Maybe if buzzy gingsberg kicks the bucket while trump is president some of the laws written by activist liberal courts could be overturned with a solid 5-4 conservative majority

    Even then I dont see abortion being banned at the national level

    But I doubt if the bra burning amazon warriors will take my word for thst

    Actually, we are all female at first - that's why men have nipples - so definitely not homosexual at that stage.

    Trade is likely to be strictly balanced as long as we're a reserve currency, and giving up being a reserve currency isn't a good idea. I will explain why we're likely to run deficits if you wish.

    The idea the world needs us for a trading partner is old fashioned thinking. That ship sailed at least a generation ago.

    We should insist on fair trade and that means pressuring China. Muscling up on Canada and the EU is stupid. Besides, it won't work.

    and nipples have something to do with brains?...all eggs are X, the moment that a Y joins that X in the egg the physical gender is decided(X+Y=male) as is sexual preference, so until there's a sperm contribution from the male the egg isn't anything...

    The Y chromosome determines that the embryo and fetus will develop into a male. It does not determine sexual orientation.

    Canada's laws regarding discrimination are similar to ours. It is only illegal to discriminate against legally identified minority groups.

    The world definitely needs us and we need the world. We are the second biggest exporting country in the world. The world is our customer, so yeah, we need the world.

    All trump voters are demanding is balanced trade

    That would cost the world almost $1 trillion a year in lost profits but thats what we want

    We can't make stuff as cheap as China. That's why we import that stuff.

    A trade deficit is not a bad think in and of itself. I have a trade deficit with Harris Teeter. I'm cool with that.

    I am assuming you are not an economics major. It's not "lost". It is us buying cheap goods from other countries.

    Who says cheap is all that matters?

    If we continue to run trillion dollar trade deficits the income disparity that liberals speak of so often will grow till were a no better than a 3rd world nation

    Here is what you said: " the moment that a Y joins that X in the egg the physical gender is decided(X+Y=male) as is sexual preference,".
    If you are not saying the Y decides sexual preference then you shouldn't have said just that.

    Sexual preference is in the brain. The Y chromosome causes testosterone which causes the developement of a male body and a male brain. There are different theories as to what may cause homosexual tendencies.

    You are all over the place. Calm down. We are talking about trade and you bring in deficits.

    You must be young. 27? Just a guess.
