In 2015, even before President Trump came down the golden escalator, CTH was outlining a ‘new era and dimension’ in American economics that could be possible if a presidential candidate focused on specific Main Street policy. {Go Deep}
Throughout the next four years we watched carefully how Donald Trump was organizing that Main Street revival {Go Deep} and what specifically was creating the economic growth {Go Deep}.
One of the points emphasized in 2016 about Trump’s very unique MAGAnomic policy, was how both Trump and Bernie Sanders both agreed on the exact same problem. The difference between them was how to solve the problem.
Think of it like economic football.
Both Trump and Sanders identify the rigged game. Bernie Sanders wanted to change the referees so that government controls the game. Donald Trump’s approach was different. Trump wanted to change the rules of the game, not step in and try to play referee to a rigged game where the rules were flawed.
One of the examples of economic “rule changing” is trade tariffs. You don’t need govt to regulate the corporations directly (ie. raise corporate income taxes). Instead, you can change trade policy to make the better corporate decision a return of production back to the USA (a fundamental rules change).
Both approaches involve a different govt policy, but Trump’s approach changes behavior. That’s MAGAnomics.
One of the reasons Trump’s approaches are much more effective, is that his rule changes extend beyond the American corporate game. Trump’s approach changes the behavior of foreign governments and foreign corporations, a win/win/win.
An example is the Japanese government investing in America to offset reciprocity tariffs; while Toyota, a corporation, invests in specific auto manufacturing expansion to avoid baseline tariffs.
You don’t get that kind of result through Bernie’s approach changing the American referee in an all-American game and raising corporate income taxes. And don’t forget, the corporation can just move offshore and avoid income taxes entirely. Apple used to have their company incorporated in Ireland. Trump’s rule changes brought them back.
The Promethean Action PAC is now highlighting the fundamentals of Trump’s MAGAnomics and how the policy is distinctly different from all U.S. economic policy before it.
The Fed slams on the breaks to stop growth because The Fed doesn’t work for the U.S. The Fed answers to globohomo.
You paint the Fed as the bad guy when the bad guy is the Democrats in Government telling the Fed what to do. The Fed was politicized by the Democrats. Powell lowered rates for Biden/Harris while inflation was hot. Powell refused to lower rates for Trump. The guy behind the curtain telling Wizard Powell what to do was a Democrat.
The Globullists are telling the Fed what to do. The dems are crafty and sneaky, but not that smart. The rinos want money, they don’t care who is telling who, as long as their bank accounts get bigger.
END THE FED!!!!!
Read, The Creature From Jekyll Island.
End the fed before …07/04…
Change “politicized” to “owned” and I might agree.
There is only the Uniparty.
It’s really too bad AI/Bot spellcheck and grammar aren’t fully operational…
The entire monetary and financial system is an intentionally complex scam.
“It was Henry Ford who said in substance this: ‘It is perhaps well enough that the people of the nation do not know or understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning’.” – Charles Binderup, 19 March 1937, in the House of Representatives (Congressional Record—House 81:2528).
NOT nutjob stuff:
The Biggest Scam In The History Of Mankind – Hidden Secrets of Money Ep 4 (29:34)
In Episode 4 of Hidden Secrets of Money, Mike Maloney breaks down one of the most important — and least understood — parts of the modern financial system: how currency is created.
This episode explains how Treasury bonds, Federal Reserve checks, banks, debt, taxes, and fractional reserve lending all work together inside what Mike calls the biggest scam in the history of mankind.
The core idea is simple but shocking: the Treasury issues IOUs, the banks buy those IOUs, the Federal Reserve writes its own IOUs, and currency springs into existence. The process repeats over and over, enriching the banking system while increasing the national debt and passing the bill to the public.
Mike also explains why inflation is not simply “prices going up,” why debt must keep expanding under the current system, and why understanding the difference between money and currency is essential.

And I’m not a gold bug:
If the dollar were converted back to the gold standard I’m not sure anyone really knows what would happen to the price of gold.
Seems to me the next President must continue MAGAnomics.
Trump is running out of time. To continue this, it needs to be added to.
Mr Trump would make a great Chief of Staff for the next President.
The big question is whether Rubio / Vance will continue the current policies, or will he be co-opted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and their allies, reversing the many gains under President Trump? There is significant pressure to continue H1B visa replacement of U.S. workers amongst the software industry, and many of the wealthy tech CEOs have access the administration. Musk and Ramaswamy very publicly aired their opinions more than a year ago in a somewhat foolish and clumsy manner. Wealthy interests who lack the skill to run for president and win will instead choose to lobby and co-opt the next president.
Jekyll Island meeting… others making bad decisions that impact your life a century ago….
“The Promethean Action PAC is now highlighting the fundamentals of Trump’s MAGAnomics and how the policy is distinctly different from all U.S. economic policy before it.”
It would be nice to get that out in a way that MSM could not avoid it and would be forced to cover it for the millions of low information voters out there.
Ephesians Chap. 5:13
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Instead the MSM will push “bad economy” and avoid talking about Biden’s (handlers) and Ole Yellen’s intentional “transitory” inflation.
Millions will not only believe it but believe the Democommunists can somehow provide “affordability”.
Regarding the Toyota reference, if I am not mistaken the majority of Toyotas sold in the US are assembled there as well. Toyota has several automobiles that have more American parts in them than Ford or GovMo.
Correct, my Tacoma was assembled in mexico but damn near all the parts were made in the USA.
Japan has a collapsing working age population and with Trump’s policies, it made sense for Japan to move jobs to the USA for the sales to the USA.
Big points:
Free Trade – bad
Socialism – bad
Globalism – bad
Communism – bad
Establishment Republicans are socialists (free trade). You hear a “republican” talking about free trade, primary their ass out.
Democrats are communists or Fascists – always bad except Fetterman (lol)
MAGAnomics – The American System. The U.S. manufactures everything we need in-house. That leads to full employment with wage growth that always outpaces inflation, if there even is inflation to begin with. Tariffs are a critical tool to ensure we manufacture everything we need in-house.
Free trade bad. We want The American System.
It returns America back to a manufacturing country. That provides jobs to those who don’t really need or want to go to college.
I discovered Promethean Action about 3 months ago and have found them to be a very good source.
PA is doing wonderful work, but some of their stretching and shaping of their original founding thesis and diagnosis into the realities we are experiencing always caused me some reticence. There is so much more out there that we are not seeing.
Sundance, PA, Covid and Coffee and many others are doing The Lord’s Work shining the light and giving us better visibility of the world around us….
But everyone functions and operates in their “silos” (SHOUTOUT, Sundance!) based on who they are and what skills and perspectives they possess as they give WE The People more and more pieces of the puzzle to consider and weigh.
Five or ten years from now, we will have even more information and perspectives. I shudder to think of the good and evil at play, of which we are completely unaware, and how we will be viewing these amazing times in which we live.
In the meantime, I am thankful and grateful for any and everyone taking up the mantel to support and defend our Singular Constitutional Republic Under God. 🙂
And you can’t help but chuckle at how Our POTUS, DJT has looked at the world, decided that it doesn’t suit our needs, proceeded to upend everything, along the way branding it MAGAnomics, and is seemingly pursuing a path that puts the USofA squarely back into Hamiltonian economics and the core vision of our Founding Fathers….
All the while cleaning up the REFLECTING POOL!!!
5-D chess doesn’t even begin to explain what is going on around us! 🙂
The British Empire cannot make what it needs.
Here’s one for you neocons, eliminate the Social Security tax on senior citizens and stop spending trillions warring all over the globe. It won’t put any money into your campaign funds though so you never will do the right thing.
An encouraging word…
Free markets were not free, those markets were manipulated just like Canada and the US. We want fair markets. Free is utopia.
All of this is Gods hand working through His anointed ones.
To realize the stark reality in the differences between not just the last (null and illegal) administration and this one, but also every administration going back to the founding of the nation is mind boggling.
The Golden Age is clearly upon US. At the helm,,,,one of the anointed and yours truly President Donald J. Trump. Winning is now kicking back in a swimming pool filled with popcorn and drinking ice cold lemonade. You just want to smile. 😁
That’s Oren Cass Bessent is talking to on stage.

Not as bad as I thought.
How long will it take to return the manufacturing lost to other countries back to the USA?
Decades for a full or near-full reversal, but meaningful progress in targeted sectors within 5–15 years. Returning “lost” manufacturing comprehensively is a massive, multi-decade undertaking due to the scale of offshoring since the 1970s–2000s, structural economic shifts, and practical constraints.
Scale of What Was Lost
– US manufacturing employment peaked at ~19.5–19.6 million in 1979. It fell to a low of ~11.5 million around 2009–2010 (a loss of ~6.5–8 million jobs, depending on exact metrics and including broader trade/automation effects). As of mid-2026, it’s around 12.6 million.
– Estimates of jobs lost specifically to offshoring/trade deficits (especially with China post-2001) range from ~3–5 million in manufacturing. Broader declines also stem from automation, productivity gains, and the shift to a service economy.
– The US now runs massive goods trade deficits (e.g., record levels recently), reflecting heavy reliance on imports for many consumer and intermediate goods.
Full “return” to 1970s-era dominance (as a share of employment or output) is unlikely, as the economy has grown and evolved. Manufacturing’s share of jobs has shrunk from ~22% in 1979 to ~8–9% today amid service-sector expansion.
Current Reshoring Momentum
Reshoring (bringing production back) + foreign direct investment (FDI) has accelerated:
– Since ~2010, announcements total over 2–2.5 million jobs (cumulative), with recent years seeing 244,000+ in 2024 and projections around 174,000 for 2025. About 1.7 million of these have reportedly been filled.
– This represents recovery of roughly 40% of offshoring losses in announced terms, concentrated in high-tech, autos, electronics, semiconductors, batteries, appliances, and medical devices.
– Drivers include tariffs/trade policy, supply-chain risks (COVID, geopolitics), CHIPS Act/IRA incentives, automation reducing labor-cost gaps, and “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO) analyses showing hidden offshore risks.
Examples: GE Appliances moving production back (creating jobs in Kentucky), semiconductor investments, Apple facilities, John Deere expansions.
Realistic Timelines
– Individual projects/facilities: 1–3+ years from decision to full production (planning, permitting, construction, supply-chain setup, hiring/training). Some simpler cases (e.g., assembly, retrofits) in 6–12 months with automation/warehouses.
– Sectors like semiconductors, EVs/batteries, clean tech: Major gains already underway via CHIPS/IRA; new fabs and plants ramping over 3–10 years. These are capital-intensive but policy-supported.
– Broader manufacturing base: 10–20+ years for substantial recovery in output/jobs across many industries. Building entire ecosystems (suppliers, skilled labor, infrastructure) takes time. Construction and commissioning alone require years of certainty.
– Full reversal: Decades or effectively never in the same form, due to automation (fewer workers per output), global specialization, and economic shifts. Optimistic scenarios suggest accelerating reshoring could close much of the trade gap over 15–30 years with sustained policy.
Recent data shows mixed signals: strong announcements but some slowdowns in construction/employment in 2025, labor shortages, and persistent deficits.
Major Challenges Slowing Progress
– Workforce: Severe skills/labor shortages. Millions of unfilled roles projected; training takes years. Aging workforce and competition from other sectors.
– Costs and infrastructure: Higher US labor/energy/regulatory costs in some areas; building supply chains from scratch is expensive and slow. New plants often cost multiples of offshore equivalents.
– Ecosystems: Many industries lack full domestic supplier networks. Scaling takes time.
– Policy and economics: Uncertainty in tariffs/taxes slows decisions. Automation helps competitiveness but limits job numbers. Not all production makes economic sense to reshore (TCO shows ~20–30% viable in many analyses).
– Global realities: Some “friendshoring”/nearshoring (e.g., Mexico) instead of full US reshoring.
Bottom Line
Significant, high-value manufacturing is already returning and will expand in the 2020s–2030s, especially in strategic sectors, supported by policy and technology. This could add hundreds of thousands more jobs and boost resilience. However, a complete return of all lost capacity (in jobs or output share) would likely take 20–40+ years or prove partial, as the US economy prioritizes higher-productivity activities. Success depends on sustained policy stability, workforce investment, automation, and TCO-driven business decisions. Optimists point to recent records as a turning point; realists note structural headwinds. Progress is measurable but incremental.
