    Sure we can, we can insists our products be given the same access to their markets, that their products are given in our markets.

    Hence Trump's threat of tarrifs unless those trade restrictions are lifted.

    We're better off for doing so, too.

    The books "Reaganomics", "The Way the World Works", "The End of Prosperity", and anything by Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams do a nice job of describing supply side economic policies.

    You naively (IMO) assume Trump is playing fair. He's risking a trade war by what he's doing now. He seems to think he can negotiate trade agreements like he does real estate deals. That remains to be seen.

    Thanks, but I was more trying to find out where LM is getting his erroneous definition of 'supply side economics' from that excludes personal/corporate taxes as part of said definition?

    I agree with you here - I am 100% against Trump's tariff ideas. And judging by the markets (the DOW is down almost 700 points as I type this - largely on trade war fears) - they are against them as well.

    Trump is playing a dangerous game.

    We'll see if he can renegotiate NAFTA. He won't get a better deal from Canada, but we'll see about Mexico.

    P.S. We need Canada more than they need us.

    Trump is not playing fair just as those countries who restrict US trade are not playing fair.

    So am I. He seems to be confusing organic productivity growth with supply side economics.

    Of course, they do. They're about increasing the output per unit of input. That's what supply-side economics is about.
    It's the law of demand. We were talking about supply.

    Thanks for proving my point. You continue to confuse productivity with supply side.

    Companies will sell more product if the price is reduced. You don’t agree with that ??? It’s the basic principle of supply side.
