The questions is do you want to pay people at Red Wing a decent salary so they can go out buy $300 Red Wing boots or do you pay one of them a meager wage to stock the shelves at Wally World with Chinese made boots?
You mean folks making under 40K a year can no longer afford IPhone6s, 4D flat screen TVs, Air Jordans, and Vineyard Vines clothes ?
You mean folks making under 40K a year will have to drive the same car for more than 3 years ?
Oh my, the hardship ...
A few years back there was this news article that had a woman complaining about her inability to pay her electric bill. In the background was this TV that had to be 65 in. plus with a sound system and game console hooked to it.
And this is back in 2012. Gone up quite a bit under our current democrat king who said he was going to cut the debt in half way back when.
And I bet lots of you complaining are the one's who elected the current batch of clowns in that ran up this debt/continue to run up.
OP/trump bashers......any concern over this number that the current establishment types on both sides created for each and every one of us? I'm guessing it doesn't fit the bash the trump mantra though....carry on people!
Use the ignore list to block the trolls ... shrinks the Trump threads down to nothing.
So what defense do you have to offer of Trump's tariff plan, which would cost American households $6,000 each, which would of course have a disproportionate effect on poor people?
And that is not to mention the jobs that would be lost from the trade war that comes from the retaliation of these countries against us, when they respond with their own sky-high tairiffs?
I just love it when random Trump followers who probably work at the mall blow off these kinds of articles from professional analysts who do this for a living claiming they don't know what they're talking about. They truly are delusional and live in an alternate universe called fantasyland.
I love it when hypocrites say we need to bring manufacturing and jobs back here but oppose any and all means of doing so only because THEIR guy didn't win.

What's more important. Cheap Chinese crap or jobs here for Americans? When you make the price of something imported the same as something made here, people would buy American. What jobs would be lost here due to a trade war? What jobs? The imports aren't produced with American labor and jobs. You're just mad Ted Cruz lost.

Because the poor guy gets to leave his job at Wally World stocking Chinese made boots and gets a good job at Red wing making $300 boots he can now afford.
There is nothing wrong with competition when the competition is on an even playing field but that is simply not the case. The Chinese government is manipulating the markets so they can monopolize products here in the US; tires, solar panels, building products, electronics, steel, rare earth elements just to name a few. This is a long term economic strategy, while this may provide US consumers economic benefits in the short term it's a race to the bottom long term.
