That is why I think it is high time for America to begin to charge significant import tariffs.

We are for crying out loud, now 17 trillion dollars in debt.

17 trillion dollars.

Bring back American manufacturing. If we charged import tariffs you would have defenses to competition from overseas, and you could have 100% ownership in your company right here.

Just saying. We’re not on opposite sides, I assure you.

Increasing tariffs will do nothing but raise prices to the consumer. The incentive for companies to relocate back her would have to be massive, and it's never going to happen.

When, was the last time you ever saw treasury revenues used to pay down the debt?.

LOL, too many votes to buy, you'll never see it in your lifetime.

BTW, where is the computer you're typing on manufactured?

I've asked you that twice now on this thread and once on another thread earlier.

Why won't you answer?
