Anything to get the social media from ripping on fearless Trump tweets...

am still befuddled. If we do not use CHINESE steel
and aluminum in building OUR CARS------or other fancy
stuff------how is a tariff AFFECTING ME? I thought that
tariff would affect lousy substandard Chinese knives and
screw drivers

You would understand If you worshipped your Stock Portfolio and didn’t give a shit about anybody but yourself.

sorry ----your answer is NOT satisfactory----I is still
befuddled

In reality, any answer provided will only be theoretical.

THAT ^^^^ is comforting in a mystical way

Spurring an industry is far more complex than any diagram in a PDF.
And no industry exists in a vacuum from other industries.

Because the tariffs are not just on China, but every country that sends us steel. Do you ever read anything for yourself?

Fuck this board is filled with so many uninformed people it is almost scary.

thank-you------your response is a bit more elucidating------
Is the problem that things made with steel will now COST
more for us average middle class slobs?

They will and the countries that we now slapped tariffs one will retaliate with their own actions.

This move by Trump fucks over Canada more than any other country as we get the most from them.

What the fuck has Canada done to us to rate Trump going after them? Is Canada stealing our jobs, what the hell ever that means?

America has lots of untapped resources.
More employment, more taxes, more innovation, etc...

You cannot blame that on globalization, that was all us. We as a country choose to live beyond our means, the world is not making us do it.

globalization does not make us spend more than the next 8 countries on "defense".

You are not too far off the mark. But with economics recent history is a good judge of what will happen.

Good, lord. So rather than putting a tariff on value-added products, finished goods, he taxes raw materials, thus ensuring that the economic impacts of the tariff flows through the entire supply chain.

Are you honestly saying steel and aluminum are raw materials?

Three years of public schooling down the drain.

Which means our current policies are a disaster.
