Really, so we are the only country that has to follow the world trade rules? We are import tariffing now, by devaluing the dollar. So those jobs will all be coming back now? Trump mention that?
If it were as simple as just taxing the products we buy from overseas(when our prices are already skyrocketing) , one of the last three presidents would have done it. Didnt Obama make similar promises as Trump on this on trade? You think Obama doesnt know he needs US jobs to win re-election? Or Bush?
What is never mentioned is the drawbacks of doing that. Who is going to be the growing number of consumers the next 40-50 years?
What about automation and computers? Dont they kill certain US jobs?
Nope, it's all so simple.
Tariff are like a consumption tax. I am for it. Especially from China. I like the punitive aspect. Time we fight the Free Traitors and nothing pisses them off like tariff talk. I LIKE IT!
