TheRealCAJ Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 7 minutes ago, concha said: Irony defined. Yeah, I guess. By David Lawder | WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his administration will not label China a currency manipulator, backing away from a campaign promise, even as he said the U.S. dollar was "getting too strong" and would eventually hurt the economy. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump also said he would like to see U.S. interest rates stay low, another comment at odds with what he had often said during the election campaign. A U.S. Treasury spokesman confirmed that the Treasury Department's semi-annual report on currency practices of major trading partners, due out later this week, will not name China a currency manipulator.

BigDrop Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I am old. In 1985 the Swiss Franc was 2.83 to the US dollar. Today it is on par. The French franc was 13 to 1. Deutschmark was 3.55, Italian lira was 2300. The strongest the dollar has been since the Euro was introduced (@ 1.16) was about .86. The weakest was about 1.60. These are huge differences. A number of European manufacturers in my industry (amusement) virtually lost the North American market because equipment became so expensive. I sold a ride called the Looping Starship for $450,000 in '84 that was $850,000 several years later. Having said this I left the Swiss company in '86 and went to work for a company in Wichita which sold almost exclusively in North America. The Wichita company did about $4 million in business in '86 (prior to this taking a huge hit from European manufacturers) and by '89 I had sold over $4 million personally to about one fourth of their market. One hundred employees approached three hundred. About this time the Swiss company which had shrunk in size because of the difficulty of American sales after '86 went through a reorginization. Over time much of the currency fluctuations were offset by manufacturing offshore, also importing materials from other countries which might have cost a fraction of what they would in one's home country. Trump's comment is interesting: American manufacturers can remain competitive offfshore if they are able to outsource materials and operate factories offshore. These help compensate for the strong dollar. But if the American manufacturer uses American materials and builds or assembles in the U. S. the strong dollar will virtually kill sales outside of the U. S. Trump knows this. But not many Americans know exactly how the dollar can effect us, especially if materials and labor are almost exclusively American. The reverse of this is what Wal Mart and Costco and almost everyone else will have to charge for the American supplied and built product. Several months ago a study noted that the $800 iPhone manufactured in China would cost more than $1,300 if made in the U. S. Years ago I bought shirts AT the Hathaway factory in Waterville, Maine, at Troy Guild in Glens Falls, NY, suits at Hickey Freeman in Rochester and luggage at Hartman in Lebanon, TN. The first two have closed and, retired, I can't imagine buying a Hickey suit today-nor can I imagine what it must cost. Hartman's luggage has lasted me for more than 30 years it was made so well. We bought our furntiure at Henredon in Morganton and Spruce Pines, NC. I believe today that much of it is manufactured in the Phillippines and China. Orvis-which I wear a lot of in retirement-is primarily manufactured offshore. I believe LL Bean, too. But they have their Vermont and Maine images which help support them. Should I mention the number of furniture factories in High Point and Hickory, NC that have closed or are operating at a fraction of their size? A lot of verbiage but it all means that it's not just bringing jobs back to the U. S. What we build here must be affordable. Trump really hasn't started talking about that...yet. And, then, there is what he has in mind for the U. S. factory to pay in labor and what many who voted for him believe they should expect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think as I stated it was a deal he made with China. Ill say this you do this. To me it was a good deal. The dollar will be fine. China didn't vote on Syria and sent the Coal ships back to NK. Win/Win. I could be wrong, just my take. I also think President Trump is taking back the referee job of the world. He is serving notice we are no longer going to be a passive country. I do not believe we are any where close to the brink of world war as others have stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
