If boosting domestic manufacturing is a goal of the current regime, why..............

[konradv]

How about because it shouldn’t be GOVERNMENT money building these manufacturing facilities. It should be private corporation money doing it.

Tell that to Elon. He’s depending on the cuts he’s making becoming EV and SpaceX grants. Those rockets and charging stations don’t build themselves and billionaires have a problem with spending their own money.

Unpacking the Boom in U.S. Construction of Manufacturing Facilities
The United States has experienced a striking surge in construction spending for manufacturing facilities. Real manufacturing construction spending has doubled since the end of 2021 (Figure 1).[1] The surge comes in a supportive policy environment for manufacturing construction: the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and CHIPS Act each provided direct funding and tax incentives for public and private manufacturing construction.
We explore the surge along three key dimensions:

• The boom is principally driven by construction for computer, electronic, and electrical manufacturing—a relatively small share of manufacturing construction over the past few decades, but now a dominant component.
• Manufacturing construction is one element of a broader increase in U.S. non-residential construction spending, alongside new building for public and private infrastructure following the IIJA. The manufacturing surge has not crowded out other types of construction spending, which generally continue to strengthen.
• Finally, we put the trend in international context. While it can be difficult to compare such granular data across countries, the surge appears to be uniquely American—not mirrored in other advanced economies.

Why go down this road, the tariff road, instead?

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Higher Costs and Reduced Consumption:
  Tariffs, essentially taxes on imported goods, increase the price of those goods, making them less competitive and potentially leading to reduced consumption.
• Distorted Market Dynamics:
  By artificially raising the price of imported goods, tariffs can lead to a shift in production and consumption patterns, potentially benefiting domestic producers at the expense of consumers and overall economic efficiency.
• Reduced Trade Volumes:
  Tariffs can discourage international trade, as they make it more expensive for businesses to import and export goods, leading to a contraction of trade and potentially impacting global value chains.
• Impact on Global Value Chains:
  Tariffs can disrupt global supply chains, as many goods are produced using inputs from multiple countries. When tariffs are imposed, the cost of these inputs rises, potentially making the final product more expensive and less competitive in global markets.
• Potential for Retaliation:
  One country's tariffs can trigger retaliatory tariffs from other countries, leading to a trade war that can further disrupt global trade and economic activity.
• Job Losses:
  Tariffs can lead to job losses in industries that rely on imported inputs, as the higher costs of those inputs can make them less competitive.

The answer is simple enough. trump believes in destructive tariffs but not the destructive forces continuing to be unleashed by global warming.

Trump believes in destroying President Biden’s strong, growing economy with historic low unemployment out of some bizarre need for revenge.

You are right BURGER 86

Trumpfy is dong a smashing job .
Smashing corruption and smashing Troll Bots like you .

You might as well be asleep in bed for all the notice that anybody is taking of you.

It's all about Trumpfy the Triumphant .


Burger so desperate now , that like Nazi Troll Tiddles Tithead , he is having to write most of the boring posts himself .

Burger truly Burggered

 

[Moonglow]

Why borrow/burn taxpayer dollars instead of making corporations move here and spend their own money?


...one of bergs better daily TDS threads, at least there is something to debate here...

How are you gonna force people to move production?

tariffs. either move or eat them.

or, tax breaks, like Trump's 15%, or consider both.

 

[Mac1958]

The answer is simple enough. trump believes in destructive tariffs but not the destructive forces continuing to be unleashed by global warming.

His 2018 tariff games ignited an extended 2019 American manufacturing recession.

I don't know who he's listening to. But he is dangerously ignorant.

Their goal is to make it so that Americans don't have to work anymore and we can just force the rich to take care of everyone else to the point they don't have to even work for a living. Also known as socialism.

How about because it shouldn’t be GOVERNMENT money building these manufacturing facilities. It should be private corporation money doing it.

It won't matter how successful our businesses and manufacturing are in the U.S. if government racks up another $36 TRILLION in debt. What's the F'ing plan in Washington, $100 TRILLION or bust?

These dipshit politicians are going to bankrupt the country.
