Why Trump's anti-free trade stance is bad for America's economy and the danger behind right wing populism.

My concerns about the overall state of society are troubling me. The future seems dazzling in perplexity and I feel like our technological civilization is heading towards a major apex, where ubiquitous technology becomes extremely distractive from gratuitous levels of invasive advertising and commercialism; I feel like as we deplete more resources from our incessant greed, environmental degradation will become so severe that not only will it inflate the price of ordinary commodities as our limited reservoir of natural capital diminishes, it will harm the sustainability of our society. I'm worried that human nature has an evolutionary imperative to ignore the future impact our rampant consumerism is having on society. When resource depletion becomes so universal and so widespread, I'm afraid destruction of our environment will induce societal breakdown and our system of capitalism and democracy- economic and political systems that humans have enshrined as liberal values, will no longer matter when our species will instigate barbarism and ruthless competition to obtain any type of resource that will help them survive. I'm afraid our selfish ways, from our sheer laziness and our abdication to remain productive citizens, and our hedonistic ways will only accelerate our downfall as a species. When we perpetuate this notion that capitalism is the only way to reduce costs through endless competition, it not only fails to account our inevitability towards a state of planetary entropy when we exhaust all of the natural capital on earth, but it will lead to societal collapse and anarchy if we don't change the way we operate as a civilization. We must, MUST promote public works through government programs for the disabled or unemployed. Everyone (except human vegetables) can have a job in America; even the most mentally deficient person can hold a job. I am autistic and I believe we should have a public works system where unemployed people can recycle or help with infrastructure development for monetary compensation. The European system of a guaranteed minimum income is not a good system because it encourages laziness and doesn't promote productivity which reduces costs. I also think there should be a public works system where gardening and reforestation projects should be implemented, as it creates more natural capital for future generations to use as productive capital. Overall, because technological unemployment is becoming the norm from increases in technological improvements and labor saving innovation, our citizenry with substandard skills should engage in a public works program that would benefit future generations. Republicans take an erroneous position and promote a classical economic approach to technological unemployment and assume that there are compensation effects whereby rich people that widely benefit from automative technology will somehow invest their newly generated capital. This is unlikely because as history has repeatedly shown, income inequality will only get worse because rich people seem to hoard instead of invest their revenue. When Ronald Reagan took office, trickle down economics, an extreme form of supply side based on neoliberalism, became a popular concept among the "moral majority". I find it ironic that a religious group of conservative legislators would appeal to Christian morality to instill their polluted notion of avarice, when Jesus spoke of charity as being a beneficial virtue. Capitalism is a wonderful system where it encourages productivity, but Trickle Down economics is a reverse Robin Hood concept of crony capitalism where public infrastructure that aids in social capital is deprived of funds while the rich get enormous tax breaks and subsidies from the government. Every time tax cuts are introduced and passed in congress, as our military budgets increase, our deficits skyrocket as a result. This will eventually lead us to default to the Chinese or force the FED to increase interest rates which only the rich can afford. We can not perpetuate Republican defense programs when the rich are constantly bribing politicians for tax cuts (I'm all for defense spending as long as we can afford it). We are debt financing this country and it's because of one major reason: We are granting unnecessary bailouts, subsidies, and tax breaks to plutocrats.
