Tonight’s Business/Market/Political Impact Spotlight –

Let’s lay it out with what left-of-center Bloomberg’s video revealed on the Trump Administration’s talking points as outlined by Larry Kudlow, National Economic Council Director.
 
 

 
 

Long-time readers of this feature may recall that Kevin Clayton of Clayton Homes lamented the trade woes between the U.S. and China.  ICYMI, that interview video is found in the related reports, further below.

Democratic 2020 candidates are among those who have hammered away at the Trump Administration on China, but they are not alone.  There are those in the GOP that are perhaps more muted, but still also concerned.

But an organization called Coalition for a More Prosperous America provided a media release to MHProNews.  They are encouraging permanent tariffs, which they say will grow the U.S. economy and create a million new jobs in 5 years.

New Study Shows China Tariffs Could Create Up To One Million Jobs

July 23, 2019

Across-the-board China tariff would produce more jobs, increased GDP

Washington. The Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) today released the results of an updated studyon the impact of a permanent 25 percent across-the-board tariff on all imports from China (PATB-25), showing such a tariff would stimulate growth in GDP and jobs in the US economy. When factoring in the impacts of China retaliation, USDA assistance for farmers, and federal reinvestment of tariff revenue, CPA found that the overall stimulus to the US economy would result in a $167 billion boost to US GDP, along with 1.05 million additional jobs, in 2024.

“A permanent, across-the-board, 25 percent tariff on all US imports from China would deliver significant, tangible benefits to the US economy,” said CPA Chief Economist Jeff Ferry. “The tariff would stimulate domestic production, beginning with small increases in US manufacturing and escalating over time. The certainty of a permanent tariff would be more effective than today’s tariffs and speed up business decisions to move production out of China, with a portion of that production coming back home.”

This study, by CPA economists Jeff Ferry and Steven Byers builds on a previous study in May that examined the effects of a permanent, across-the-board 25 percent tariff on US imports from China. The new study includes the effects of Chinese retaliation on US exports to China, US Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs to support agriculture, and federal spending of tariff revenues.

“The new CPA study further confirms that tariffs work, and their benefits can be optimized,” said CPA Chairman Dan DiMicco. “China’s rise has come at the expense of US industry and manufacturing jobs. The United States will come out the winner when it stands up to Beijing’s 25-year-old trade war against America.”

The new study includes a range of scenarios involving permanent tariffs where net gains in employment range from 642,000 additional jobs up to 1.05 million. Other studies that have found that tariffs depress the US economy rely on unrealistic assumptions on international production costs and exaggerated effects on US consumer prices.

“The ruling party in China uses a whole-of-government approach to advance its economic, military, and geopolitical goals,” said Michael Stumo, CEO of the CPA. “Human rights are abused in the process. CPA has corrected the flaws of past economic modeling, which is confirmed by the experience of the last year and shows that domestic production and employment can be boosted with trade intervention. A permanent across-the-board tariff against China would be pro-growth and would be effective in preventing the further erosion of US wealth and power.”

The president has said that he sees that possibility that China is waiting out the 2020 race, and may be hoping for someone like Joe Biden to win. Quite an admission, but that begs the question.  Is President Trump really hoping for a trade deal?  Or is he now hoping to encourage more companies to come back to the United States through this tariff deal, in a fashion similar to what the report linked above suggests?
