[US at Risk]

I am still against regulation in the manner we impose it on our own industry. The consumer ends up paying for it with higher product prices. Tariffs on foreign produced goods will only raise the price of the product to another level.

Exactly. All this crap costs money, and it does drive ultimately product costs or put our companies, our employers, out of business. The dems and greenies pretend it's free.

My position on tariffs is to use them as leverage to decrease our own costs of regulation, or to encourage the foreigners to come into spec.

I can agree with that.
