anon opine on manufacturing

I don't know how to better explain this, but I think the dollar being devalued is good because it will make us more competitive in manufacturing on the global scale. We're sort of doing what China did to become a manufacturing super power. This "inflation" which is really currency devaluation is good because although in the short term citizens experience it as inflation, it is securing jobs in the long term and broader national stability. This is why the Federal Reserve is such a problem right now, or is percieved as one: because the high rates make borrowing money expensive, home loans, auto loans, and so on. They're trying to walk the line between too much inflation and not enough. They don't want to create a bubble, but they also NEED to devalue the dollar to ensure we become the worlds manufacturing hub. I suspect this means that holding real assets will be the way to go, stocks will continue up, and wages will gradually go up though they are the most downstream of effects. All this also explains why deportation numbers aren't higher (though there has been no catch and release so real deportation numbers are likely higher than any previous admin). If we deport everyone all at once, housing crashes, which makes the dollar stronger (not actually good for manufacturing). I hope this helps anyone whose been struggling, because I have, but to bring back manufacturing and national stability we have to thread the needle and devalue the dollar which will have growing pains.
