What about the homebuilders who are facing higher lumber prices because of the tariffs on Canadian lumber? Are they going to get subsidies too?

Maybe we will see a return of domestic logging?

“Are they going to get subsidies too?”

Okay, you are right. We should just go ahead and not fight, submit to the Chinese, let them charge taxes on our products unanswered, let them de-industralize us completely, surrender and learn to speak Chinese.

And as for paying higher prices, all those hundreds of thousands of men who lost their lives fighting for this country, and that was the ultimate high price for them, were just suckers.

If American mills could sell their lumber to Canada without the current Canadian tariffs, maybe American lumber would be cheaper domestically and we wouldn’t need to import all that expensive (Chinese via Canada) lumber?

Big difference in higher p[rices to do business and a large portion of business disappearing for a short while....I’d wager that those looking for a downside would be screaming holy hell if they were in the position of the farmers and there was no relief ....always wrong for someone else and always perfectly fine when it benefits the individuals.....similar to the “We need this but NIMBY” crowd ....of which fat Teddy Kennedy was part.
