Who the hell buys Cadillacs?!I heard just today that more Cadillacs were manufactured AND sold in China than manufactured AND sold in the US. Manufacturing will tend to move to the customers. In a global economy, protectionism is a game of Wack-a-Mole that will get you nowhere.The consumer may have benefited from lower prices, but then lost their jobs or had to take a lower paying job when the company moved operations overseas to places like China, or outsourced their operations to places like China, India, Taiwan, Mexico, etc.

Nobody is stealing. Except Trump. We know that from the tax returns they found so far.Trump has taken the reins of the economy by changing course and taking on China. If the tariffs work he alone should get the credit. If they don't he should get the blame, pure and simple. As an American, I hope his tactics work. Unfortunately I don't think very highly of his track record so far so I'm not optimistic.Liberals claim its Obama's economy when the market is up. When the market is down they claim its Trump's economy. Tune in next week when they flip flop again.
At least Trump is trying to make these other countries trade fair and stop stealing from us. You would think the left who claim to support the poor and middle class would support Trump at least on this but no.
The answer is get better at competition, not shut down the game.
Do tell about Trump's tax returns. It is "stealing" to claim losses to offset gains?
Bush led us into war in Iraq and we're still paying the price for the horrendous decision. Trump led us into a trade 'war' and I'm worried the results will be the same. I wish Trump every success but he is playing a high-stakes game and I feel I'm one of his chips.At least Trump is trying to make these other countries trade fair and stop stealing from us.

China has been selling us their goods at below market prices thanks to their subsidies. Sounds like they were doing us consumers a favor.China has been stealing from us for decades.
The Dow has crashed >500 points already....Thanks Obama.
Only 20% of jobs lost went overseas, the rest were lost to automation and process improvements.
Also, according to the latest salary numbers manufacturing job pay below the average wage.
Trumpgas will hit $5

After you lose your job to China and your house and you go bankrupt return to the thread.

Why don't you Dem's run on that in the rust belt. Obama is that you?
I'd wager more people have lost their jobs to automation than to China.After you lose your job to China and your house and you go bankrupt return to the thread.
Let’s connect the dots.
Had the Kenyan had the nutsack to leverage Americans into a better position on trade, Donny T wouldn’t be laying the smack-down on China like he is. Thanks Kenyan!

If you have the kind of job that can be taken by a mindless drone in China, you might want to reassess your life choices

well obviously yes, cause they went to the stupid wapo for their article.This trade war will end and the US will be in a MUCH better position because of it.
So you know more about the U.S. economy than the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and most of Wall Street?
Yes or no, please?
Tariffs are the Wrong Approach
