[quote=moneymaker][quote=utcsox][quote=moneymaker]It seems to me there are 2 options for the government for stimulus, lower rates or create jobs. Ok already tried to lower rates, now can’t go any lower. So time to create jobs soon, 2 ways to do that also. Hire more government workers/create infrastructure jobs or the Trump strategy (deport the illegals). Neither of these strategies increases GDP so will also ultimately fail. The lowering of rates was suppose to increase jobs by getting businesses to invest with new start ups and such. Problem is most investment has been overseas. Maybe the China problem will stop this, but I doubt it. Ultimately China will start an economic war by dumping dollars and the US will respond with protectionism. Just my 2¢[/quote]
To increase the GDP, you can either
1. Increase the number of workers or
2. Increase the productivity of the workers..
I really don’t know where you get the ideas that you can increase GDP by deporting illegal immigrants. Or are you suggesting by deporting the illegal immigrants, the overall productivity of legal workers will suddenly increase?[/quote]
You have to read the next sentence after the bold part, where I say “Neither of these strategies increases GDP so will also ultimately fail”.[/quote]
You are right. The whole paragraph you wrote is incoherent; it’s hard to understand what you are trying to say.
