Job numbers are coming out next week. Looks like 185 thousand.. bluest June in 81 years.. I think you are derangedAhh but the prices are not hurting anyone ahhh gotcha haha..Link?I just bought a washer and dryer from Lowes. The combined price increase for the same models next week are going to be $400 more, due to steel tariffs.
US steel prices up 'dramatically' due to Trump tariffs: Fed
you're welcome.
So demand for America steel is up and the prices went up? Ha funny
that's econ 101... supply & demand. howeverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... NEW plants are not being built to meet them - which means most will be imported - which means higher cost due to tariffs. so, when does the consumer 'win'? consumer confidence has dropped 2 months in a row - which means less spending - which means what? can you figure it out?
so much 'winning'! Ha funny.
sure - employment #s are good - but trump didn't do that by his lonesome. he piggybacked on the +/- 5% number that obama brought down from 10% in 2009.... & a great deal of those new jobs are still part time - which means people are still working 2-3 jobs without bennies.
