Still don't think he's a used-car salesman?

272. A billion dollar increase in the GDP

can and often does still cost Americans "6,000(insert any number here)" jobs. The one thing has nothing to do with the other. You know they include toxic cleanups and brownfield remediation in the GDP calculation, right... along with every other thing that costs the environment and humans their lives (as long is someone is making money off it, it is in the GDP)? There are other metrics that better assess our societal health (see: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/116461/gpi-better-gdp-measuring-united-states-progress ). I would also hasten to add if Corporations are making that money due to a trade agreement, you can be damn sure small businesses in America are getting screwed. Most Americans will buy the goods that are half the price, not because they don't want to buy American, but because they can't afford the USA made stuff! Why is that? Because most Regular jobs have gone overseas.....
