Of course it has nothing to do with out of control spending.

This is in relations to the feds raising the interest rates.

Not much of it. The Fed increases have been expected and a lot of it has already been factored in.

So how did the Chinese and others accumulate so many dollars that they are using to buy American real estate that we can’t afford? Simple, consumers spend their dollars on the cheaper imports. They buy Chinese goods, not American because they are cheaper. This causes an imbalance of trade in our marketplace in favor of foreign goods which can be produced with cheaper labor and resources.

A fair tariff on imported goods means our companies can trade with foreign companies and we get to keep more of our dollars at home. Thus our economy expands, not theirs. As our economy expands, we have more dollars to buy real estate and other expensive things.

OTH, domestic companies can move offshore to reduce their costs of labor and resources in order to get a bigger share of our consumer dollars. But a fair tariff will negate this advantage forcing some companies to repatriate their companies and dollars back to America.
