i'm really scared of a trade war with China

it's disgusting to think the US let companies go overseas/out of country and then sell their stuff in the US without MAJOR tariffs
:iagree: It is disgusting, but finally after almost 30 years of idiocy, and 4 idiot US presidents, we now have a POTUS who is fixing the whole mess.
my company did that...they kept some stuff here, but manufactured some stuff in China that they used to manufacture here...they say they couldn't compete unless they did that--really what they meant was they needed more $$$$$ for themselves

Things are changing, thanks to our effective protectionist president, Donald Trump. American companies are beginning to be able to compete now, with their stuff being Made in USA.

It makes sense for them to do that because a. rural is a red state and b. we actually have a trade surplus in agriculture.

so Trump places tariffs on China.

The brutal Chinese government retaliates , stops buying our crap, and raises the price on manufacturing for us.

Now, we have to start making crap here again, people are employed, and the money stays in the country.

all the Chinese that moved to the big city...go back to working in the rice fields.

...really scared.
The US and Europe used to make their own products. If China stops making them, we'll go back to making them, converting make-work service and government jobs into manufacturing jobs. It's China that's going to be up shit's creek without a paddle if they stop buying our "crap" (machinery and electronics too sophisticated for them to make, also: food).
Make stuff here and you'll pay triple the price that people can afford. That boat sailed long time ago....America is a consumer and not a manufacturer.
Everybody already gets enough to live, whether through welfare or make-work government jobs. We already pay all that. Except now we'll pay for it through product prices instead of through taxes.
 
pork and oranges are down ...whooooooo
meanwhile, every piece of crap we buy is made in China.

the media working their magic
