And again, by operation, U.S. tariffs will force higher prices on those items upon which U.S. tariffs are imposed. Like shooting yourself in the foot.
So-called “trade wars” consist of one country shooting itself in the foot because the other shot itself in the foot. Insanity.
Answer? DON’T shoot yourself in the foot because the other guy did. Let the voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers in the open supply and demand of marketplace free from government interference work it out and do what it does best: CREATE WEALTH.
In the meantime, get rid of the CAUSE that cripples our cost-effective, superior America products: government meddling and interference which CREATES POVERTY.
No, every other country in the world is protectionist so we have to be also. What is stupid is listening to Free Traitors™.
What Free Traitors™ want you to believe is that the supply function is static and no new domestic suppliers will EVER come on line. Despite their best efforts to the contrary, brand new factories are still being built in the USA all the time. Not as many as are closed mind you, but the situation is dynamic and not static. With more domestic supply will mean pressure to reduce prices.
The mental midgets we lovingly call Free Traitors™ are some of the stupidest people on earth.
