Companies Moving Back To US; >> Higher Prices ?

[Care4all]

From the point of view of national defense Trump is being way too timid

He is getting tougher though, as we speak >>

Impatient for wall, Trump wants US military to secure border

I wonder where is the money gonna come from to pay to set up camps for the military sent there, the food to feed them etc?

And does this take away from our military preparedness?

Just taking an isolated case as Erin did, is a weak approach, look at the entire economy, changes in the trade imbalances, jobs, wage increases etc.

Ok.

Not sure which is sadder, Synth, that some fool actually took the time to make a lunch-meat sandwich look like Trump or that all that food was wasted.

Some people seem to be raising the fear of higher prices, if companies move back to the US, as a result of President Trump's tariff "campaign." Trump has said the tariffs he placed on steel and aluminum are just the beginning, with many more to come, on many more products.

This could make doing business in China and other overseas countries simply not economical. While some companies have already returned to the US, it's likely many more will. So, the question being asked is, will US consumers face price increases on the products of these back-in-the-US companies ? Any thoughts ? Theories ?

why is trump picking the winners and losers?

what about all of the jobs here that rely on the imports that now have tariffs? What about all of the jobs that are here involved in exporting goods to other countries now in the middle of a tariff war?

I don't think we really know yet if American workers will come out winners....or that this will make America great again....

That's like saying >> does sending troops to Okinawa (Feb 1945), take away from out military preparedness ?

And why do you wonder where the money is gonna come from ? Same place it always comes from, in any military mobilization. The military. duh!

Well, LET'S FIND OUT! I mean, the Left didn't wait around long to totally change how and what we educate our young with, they just DID IT. They didn't wait around to see if we'd come out winners by inventing 16 sexual preferences and allowing guys to use the ladies lockers, showers and restrooms---- they JUST DID IT. They didn't worry about whether we would come out winners by putting openly gay fags in the military ----- they just DID IT. They aren't worrying about whether the nation will turn out better by taking away everyone's right to possess firearms, they are just DOING IT. They didn't care about putting a qualified candidate in the White House when they decided they wanted a Black, they just picked the first POS they could find. So why worry now about a few silly tariffs? Let's just DO IT and see what happens!

The OP asked a question. So that means that generally, posts should be answers, rather than more questions. You think US companies will be having higher prices, being here instead of in China, Mexico, et al ?

Same argument you Democrats made when Republicans freed the slaves.

''Same argument the Southerners made.... ''

and the south never did recover...they paid a hefty price for it.... the Confederate Dollar was worth 7 cents in gold for every dollar, after the civil war,

once wealthy southerners, even if they owned no slaves.... lost 93% of their wealth.... basically over night.... the southern states became the poorest states in the Nation and stayed that way for over a Century....

initially, most certainly will cost more.... but in time, with robots it will be just as cheap as with China Labor....

but that also means less jobs here...even if you count new people building and maintenance on the artificial intelligence.... imo.

so, this measure needs to be coupled with job creation in the service industry....instead of call centers overseas, call centers here in the USA or technology services done here then sold to those overseas..... we have to find America's next ''thing'' that we can hang our hats on....for jobs.....it is NOT going to be in manufacturing, those are the days of the past imo....

First you explained one of the good reasons why prices won't be higher, and then you went on to say it won't be manufacturing. I think your second statement was wrong your first was right.

Prices are not nearly as important as national security. Staying alive is far more important than getting rich.

they are both correct.... at first, prices WILL BE HIGHER, due to tariffs and the inability to buy what they need here in the USA so the tariffs will make things pricey for all of us,

but, if businesses are brought back here and the new manufacturing plants built here are built with the newest artificial intelligence technology, then the savings of A/I robots will be cheaper than labor and all the costs of labor like benefits and taxes that they would have had to pay.

What you are missing is this is not a Bewitched situation and just a wiggling of ones nose, makes it appear.

It will take some years of transition that will cost us heavily, upfront..... but in the end, if corporations decide to pass their savings on robots on to us, prices will eventually go down....is my best guess.

The prices won't be much higher, anyway (if they are higher at all)

There are more factors involved in the prices of goods inside the US than just the cost of Chinese labor, and the factor of US robots.

With returning companies, prices in the US may not be higher at all, even initially Here' s a list of what will lessen them (in addition to robotics) to lower than would have been in previous years >>

1. Major reduction in the Corporate tax

2 Major reductions in business regulations

3. Shipping costs are much lower US internally, than from China (all the way on the other side of the world)

4 Energy costs have dropped

5. Chinese wages have increased substantially

6. Very difficult for companies to raise prices (anytime) Prices are set by sales. When prices are hiked above current rates, sales (and income) go down.

bringing good paying jobs back to the USA was suppose to be the goal, how exactly is that being accomplished?

 

[protectionist]

bringing good paying jobs back to the USA was suppose to be the goal, how exactly is that being accomplished?

1. By making the overseas location less economical than being in the US (see Post # 33)

2. Input/Output - By increasing the number of manufacturing jobs inside the US, this has a expansion effect, whereby millions more US jobs will be created, as a result (ex - mining, trucking/shipping, retail, advertising, etc)

3. Millions of jobs (FOR AMERICANS) are being created by deporting illegal aliens
