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

....end the policy objectives of the Biden admin that lead to a tremendous buildout of manufacturing facilities?

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.

Please post the tariffs Falling Down *Joe implemented so the forum has more information to respond to your post.
 
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.

How many charging station did *Joe and Kammy build during their term and what was the cost?
 
Hear that Elon? No more EV and SpaceX grants.

Elon will be just fine. Trump Elon and DOGE shutting down Democrats campaign fund grifting not so much. Losing USAID alone is going to cost the DNC hundreds of millions. Enjoy the midterms.

Were you this concerned about tariffs when Biden used them?
 
Dont you remember posting “ This won’t end well. Hope you are prepared?
Yes. But I still don’t know who “we” is or what they are prepared for.

I’m prepared for higher prices, shortages and market volatility. I’m hoping when that occurs, calmer heads will prevail.

“We” are trump supporters who you are obviously taunting
 
Hear that Elon? No more EV and SpaceX grants.
Hear that foreign nations? No more tranny comic books. Not that you requested them, they were the product of the sick, obsessed, ideology of leftoids who want to promote their retrograde agenda on others.

Distraction from the mess Trump is turning the economy into?!
 
Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion.
You are convinced that the economy is doomed thanks to tariffs

And I think you will be very disappointed if it doesent happen

You would be wrong. Why would I want my wealth to be debauched? I wouldn’t.
