I searched long and hard to come up with a retort to this article.
Let’s wait and find out.
Already? That was fast.
Where is the supporting data?
Mobody has a clue as to what will happen...
If such a clearly unbiased group has analyzed the tariffs and thinks they could cost jobs, then it is clear we need to impeach president Trump immediately...
Spin Spin Spin. There are quotas before the tariffs kick in. Countries that have reciprocal trade deals with us and have addressed the unequal tariffs they place on American goods will not see a tariff scenario or will see a reduced tariff. The Globalists are scared but for themselves not for small business. They are laying crepe to try and keep their schemes in place.
And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell , , ,
China sends slab steel and aluminum ingots to countries like Mexico and Canada who turns them into pipes, tubes, etc. So it is actually Chinese steel
What action should we take against China which has been subsidizing targeted industries for several years?
Should we continue to do nothing like we did under obama, w, clinton, bush 1, etc.? Should we continue to allow industries vital to our national security to be decimated?
Dems and the GOPe don’t have answers. They just do nothing but whine and complain.
Complete baloney. Manufacturers will do what they've always done...find other ways to save money AND be more efficient. In the meantime US steel companies will compete with each other and it won't be long until costs are back to what they were or better.
"Free trade" is great for late night dorm room discussions. But in the real world, nobody plays according to Hoyle. America plays by the rules and gets known as a sucker and an easy mark. We've been reamed out thoroughly by our "free trade partners".
Was the analysis done by the same people who give us the “expected job numbers” every month? Why do those people still have a job?
We’ll see.
The analysis misses the fact that free trade cost 5 jobs for every one gained by tariffs, precisely the reverse.
I’d like to see the methodology used in this trade analysis.
If we are allowing either state subsidies to industries importing into the US...or there are taxes on US goods, in excess of regular taxes, we are NOT engaged in Free Trade.
Free trade has failed the American worker when excess taxes are put on American exported goods or there are massive state subsidies.
There is also the statist slave labor problem in countries like China. In the south of China there is some real capitalism going on. But for the mine worker and factory laborer, there is immoral wages and conditions present which effectively turn laborers into a virtual slave labor force that exist only to serve the state.
Or not. But the National Review Never-Trump crowd is suddenly really, really worried about the welfare of our hourly wage-earners.
It is a good thing that it was impossible for Donald Trump to be elected President!
And smoking is good for you according to the Tobacco lobby.
If i could accurately predict the future, I wouldn’t waste my time creating bogeymen trade rumors. I’d just pick winning lottery numbers
This is great news! Because brilliant Fred Lucas also predicted HilLIARy would win, didn’t he?
