Tariffs? They can be eliminated if trading partners eliminate theirs.
Or, you don't want Americans to work? Inner city folks arent capable to go to a factory job? Any job? APPL has to build in Viet Nam to get small hands? WTH.
Reduce our EBT support and $0.20 on a BBQ scrubber from China is a wash.
It is my opinion, shared by many economists BTW, that higher tariffs do not create permanent jobs. At best temporary jobs, but as far as I can see we have not seen the uptick in manufacturing jobs or jobs in general either. Further, I believe that higher tariffs lead to higher inflation, which IS slowly rising and will continue to rise unless and until Trump cancels or reduces them. It is also analogous to a tax hike that primarily falls on the lower end of the income ladder people. I didn't like tariffs when the democrats did it and I don't like them now.
