Bullshit. let them retaliate. I don’t want to live in a country anymore that is made by China. This is a reckoning against our politicians who have gutted families and this nation
It’s not good for the New World Order.
Kudlow used to take calls on his radio show. No more. Maybe he didn’t appreciate being challenged?
Since 1989, we've become a service economy. We don't make things anymore. But we do have baristas who can explain the s--t out of a chocolate-infused cappucino at Starbucks.
That might be good for consumers, but it's not good for the overall health and well-being of the nation.
Trump has been talking about this for decades. Even on Oprah's show, he was talking about it in the 80s. If we don't build things like we did in WWII, we are cooking our own goose.
Stand by.
Wasn’t Kudlow on President Trump’s campaign staff?
We make virtually no Iron in America. Now imagine we are at war with China. Will we Buy of Bullets from them?
They won't retaliate.
They would stand to lose even more sales to their best foreign cutomer in a trade war.
I don’t want to live in a country anymore that is made by China.
This will create jobs in America.
When there is less foreign steel the demand for American steel will go up.
When demand goes up it will take more American labor to produce it.
This is a reckoning against our politicians who have gutted families and this nation
There are a lot of politicians who profit from pandering to foreign companies.
It's illegal for the money to come directly to them from foreigners.
But there are legal work-arounds and they know every one because they wrote them into the laws.
An ounce of experience is worth a ton of theory.
I hope when manufacturing comes back to America, the Unions don't take over again.
I still remember all the strikes by the UAW back in the 60's and 70's. This is what helped the Japanese car industry.
yeah, i hope it’s a “major calamity” for the crony capitalists sucking at the gov’t teat.

We’ll probably get the lead out...
I worked for a military contractor. ITAR
statements on every drawing when designing
parts for Military Vehicles. No more than
10% of the vehicle was allowed to be
foreign made, and Nothing was allowed
from communist countries. This should
be carried over to the private sector
as well.
Sad. A large part of the economic revitalization over the past year is due to the removal of excessive economic regulation and the reduction of taxes. It is disappointing to see President Trump do a 180 and increase taxes and embrace regulation.
A tariff can only hurt the U.S. economy.
Ludlow is an Ubercapitalist. He thinks
Illegal aliens are good for the economy.
Neil Cavuto is even worse - an anti Trumper from the word go.
Oh ye of little faith
These free traders dont give a damn about anything or anybody. They want to ruin the country so they can sell crap from China. Go Trump.
