Structural Reforms:
The House Speaker, Paul Ryan’s, methodology of “border adjustments,” is being termed as complicated by Trump. Amongst his other concern is the notion that the newly elected administration is “going to get adjusted into a bad deal.” While understood, that Ryan’s approach is merely simplistic, as it calls for “tighter financial conditions through a stronger dollar,” but this particular aspect throws light on where the actual divide between the two resides. Ryan’s plan rests on a strong dollar to offset import cost and if extra tariffs were levied, invariably, would be borne by consumers resulting and directly affect the consumption function.
Trump wants to promote manufacturing and this broad sector having an export component would function better in a weaker currency environment. The implications could be disastrous for a country, which has not been export-led for generations. For example, in 2015 US services industries accounted for 78% of the US Private sector GDP and 82% of US private sector full time employment and it is troubling for many that Trump led administration would act to derail a path that has been the mainstay of the US economy and deterring domestic consumption. Much of this, once again, could be a politically steered move, as Trump’s support has primarily come from blue-collared communities, as he would want his constituency to perceive him truthful to his word. This may make appeasing this societal class politically correct, but purely on economic terms, it does put the economy on a bearing that could actually lend it becoming rudderless.
