Before the pro-tariff crowd chimes in, think of this - which one of our products will China slap a tariff on in retaliation? And we do export a lot of stuff to China....

If they wanted to keep the Chinese from dumping, simply introduce safety standards for imported blankets and require by-lot testing.

Only people making more than $250,000 per year buy electric blankets from China. So don't listen to those people who claim that this tax will be paid by the middle class.

I guess if I need an electric blanket, it’s gonna cost me 90 to 175 percent more.

Remember: You’re gouging on your prices if you charge more than the rest / but it’s unfair competition if you think you can charge less!

China has an across the board tariff by virtue of the yuan/dollar peg.

I’d just assume drop nukes on their asses as let them ship one more crappy, poison filled trinket to our shores. They are the enemy, just as veritably so as al quaeda.

Huh? We still make electric blankets here? I bought one at Costco and it didnt last a year. Must have been a ching-chang one.
