Tariffs finally launched, but with exemptions for Mexico and Canada, the two largest exporters to the US.

The tariffs will lead manufacturers to purchase more US steel and aluminum versus inferior Chinese steel and aluminum. Republicans don't oppose tariffs because of their "liberalness." Proponents of Free Market Capitalism don't oppose tariffs because they are "liberal." Since at least 1980, the Republican "solution" to low cost imports of anything, has been to drive wages and benefits down. If anything, the people on that end of the political spectrum see tariffs as a "liberal" idea. Oh, and by the way, there is no evidence that Chinese steel and aluminum is "inferior." And more significant, Chinese imports of those materials are only ONE PERCENT of what America brings in. Most of what we import comes from Canada and Mexico. |

It is a start if we are also paying tariffs for selling to others now, lets impose international tax on companies that are outsourcing potential american income to other countries that along with the additional tariff those countries charge them for their products, should keep our products 'american' and our americans better employed Hi msharmony, we had this discussion a few months ago about cheap imports, unfortunately most people will buy the cheapest items even if they are foreign. We have suffered from cheap Chinese steel to,ruined steel towns . We do produce a purer type of steel and copper. The Chinese steel is very poor quality. The main reason for any import is price so it's kinda catch 22. |

Unfortunately there are no "British "cars, although we make and assemble several makes, the unions saw to that years ago, constant striking! Again is down to price. This is what I had with msharmony, example, if tomatoes are $1 a bag imported and $1.50 home grown then the majority will go for the import. Now, there could be a 25 cent tariff on that but that doesn't help job's only the government. |

Oh definitely, the prices never go down!
Like when they started with nuclear power stations back in the day, people were told power would be virtually free! I often wonder how it would be if we didn't import /export and just made everything in house? |

I got the information from National Review. I understand if you prefer prejudice to information. |

I often wonder how it would be if we didn't import /export and just made everything in house? Fukashima. The latest costly environmental disaster. I guess millions of dollars and contaminated water from three reactors spewing out into the ocean for five years out weighs a little acid rain. Built on a fault line! Oh yeah and China has very high standards. What ever the get there hands on gets melted down. They make sure we get the utmost quality as the are laughing all the way to the bank. |
