Tariffs were to be the key to a manufacturing renaissance. Unfortunately the number of manufacturing jobs declined since he took office. The expansion of many manufacturing facilities has been hampered by necessity of importing necessary equipment. Even high oil prices don’t substantially expand employment in oil patch. Not so sure about high paying jobs in teaching, demographic cliff will cause decline in that area.

Learn to nurse will become the next learn to code. The media will run advertising campaigns to blow up nursing program enrollments, hospital administrators will do interviews crying about a shortage of skilled workers, schools will expand nursing programs, maybe private boot camp school scams will somehow play in to this. In a few years there will be an oversupply of jobless nurses, wages will be in the toilet, etc.

“there are plenty of high-paying jobs for men—in nursing and teaching.” Then why do teachers snc nurses are the ones always on strike every other year for higher pay? I’m for unions, but if you’re going on strike every other year for higher pay then why did you go on strike the last time?

The nursing “shortage” is nothing but an attempt to oversaturate the profession and drive down the wages nursing commands, while simultaneously loading nurses with worse staffing ratios.

This will hurt Republicans badly in future elections. Sure, Reagan looked hurting in his first term, but by 1984 it was Morning In America. It is very doubtful that 2028 will be Morning In America. We may well be in a bad recession by then, or it will feel like a bad recession. America will be further isolated and weak on the world stage. That’ll be a tough argument for electing another Republican president in 2028.
