If you think food prices are too high now...

10% tariffs on China will not lower the trade deficit.

Increasing domestic production will. Putting imports on an even cost plateau with domestic production will incentivize and increase domestic production.

 

[Woodznutz]

That won't effect food prices...lol. That's stupid.

Without subsidies most of what we eat will cost more.

 

[Rambunctious]

Cutting subsidies will raise food prices.

Who is talking about cutting subsidies??? except for eggs groceries at my market have lowered and will even go lower when fuel comes down which it is everywhere but Newsom's California....

For welfare queens like you, maybe...lol

Progs never tried to stop the inflation. Rarely spoke about it. Trump will. His policies need a little time though. Of course you know that.

Do you realise that tariffs also increase the price of raw materils American Companies use to manufacture things. That's the reason trump pushed back the tariffs for auto manufacturing a month

U.S. President Donald Trump is giving the Big Three automakers a one-month exemption from sweeping tariffs he imposed on Canada and Mexico, the White House confirmed Wednesday.

The exemption came after Trump held a call earlier Wednesday with representatives of Stellantis, Ford and General Motors at the request of the companies, which rely on North American production lines enshrined in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

Separate issues.
If you combine tariffs with higher energy prices you create an untenable condition.

I ordered my avocados and a few other fruits and vegetables two days ago from target online delivery. Still a good price and they were offering a five dollar discount for any purchase of fruits or vegetables. I’m good for a few weeks

Exactly and if they were to raise the price or cut off electricity your Northeastern states would have a problem. Of course the tariffs on wood increase the cost of everything made of wood. Now we'll talk cars. trump delayed the tariffs on cars because someone finally told him that a wicked amount of car parts are made in Canada and Mexico and sent to the states for assembly.

More so the people relying on energy sales.

So you have two homes?

Yes. One is a 1860 restoration project and cost less than a used ford fiesta.

Government has no business in markets.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You won't have to wait that long. The stocks went down yesterday and everything you buy will go up now even if it's American made.. Did trump mention the trade deficit America has with China?

What do stocks have to do with food prices? Not a damned thing!

 

[Crepitus]

Wait until DOGE starts auditing the USDA.

Naw, just wait till the new tariffs kick in.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Nice

Problem is that while it cost a used ford fiesta to buy, it costs a Rolls Royce to restore.
