The Farce of the Deal......

Buys less of what?

Anything with a tarrif on it. It hurts our economy.

And I doubt you don't buy Chineses good, you probably do and aren't aware of it.

One... tariffs are what built this country

Cool, let's increase tariffs even more, great logic.

Two.. what difference does it make if people do buy Chinese goods, if it gets to high they buy cheaper, God damn it's not rocket science.


.

All prices go up. If say a bag of marbles from China went up 20%, a bag of marbles from India is also going to go up.

If there were a 20% tariff on the bag of marbles form China the price would go up by maybe 5 percent and so would the prices on 100 other things to make up for the tariffs. That is the way retailers do things

Say WTF?

They doesn't even make sense retard, buy a Harley in China it is 100 grand

It does and your point sucks. Now Harley will sell fewer bikes in China. I'm sure that's helpful somehow.

I buy by reviews, not Chinese shit.
I’m more than happy to pay for a great product.

Sometimes the Chinese product is the best one, I am pretty sure your cellphone and computer are from China.

Reviews are the way to go, if there are enough of them. I just bought a new set of irons (early Father day/B-day present). Based a lot of my decision on reviews from other golfers. Guess where they were made!

Agree, never said everything goes up to match the new tariff price on Chinese goods, the effect is still the same, the dollar doesn't go as far, people buy less.

And the price comes down.

how so?

Stop buying a product and the price comes down or they go out of business.
That’s what happened after the 2008 crash.

TARIFFS!! The dems are whining about TARIFFS!!

1. What percent of goods sold in the US are from China? ANS: About 15%
2. Who has the much stronger hand in negotiations, the US or China? ANS: the US
what percentage of goods sold in the us are made in china - Google Search
Only about 15 percent of U.S. imports come from China. Moreover, all of the basic types of manufactured consumer goods that China exports to the United States (clothing, textiles, footwear, toys, small appliances, etc.) can be imported from other countries or could be produced domestically.

Only 19% of what China exports goes to the US.

Doesn't sound like much until you compare China's top trading partners. .

1. United States: US$479.7 billion (19.2% of total Chinese exports)
2. Hong Kong: $303 billion (12.1%)
3. Japan: $147.2 billion (5.9%)
4. South Korea: $109 billion (4.4%)
5. Vietnam: $84 billion (3.4%)
6. Germany: $77.9 billion (3.1%)
7. India: $76.9 billion (3.1%)
8. Netherlands: $73.1 billion (2.9%)
9. United Kingdom: $57 billion (2.3%)
10. Singapore: $49.8 billion (2%)
11. Taiwan: $48.7 billion (2%)
12. Russia: $48 billion (1.9%)
13. Australia: $47.5 billion (1.9%)
14. Malaysia: $45.8 billion (1.8%)
15. Mexico: $44.1 billion (1.8%

looks like a lot of room for growth. Only 3 EU countries, only 2 after Brexit is done.

China can not afford to lose the US market.

Yes, some commodities are deemed to have more value than others, nothing to do with what we are talking about here. Nice dodge.

We already discussed cell phones...it’s a product for which people will pay an exorbitant price.
Brand name lemonades such as Snapple will sell some of their product under Brand X just as they did after the 2008 crash.

Not necessarily. You tack 20% on a one thousand dollar phone and you aren't going to sell as many.

Brand name lemonades such as Snapple will sell some of their product under Brand X just as they did after the 2008 crash.

Great, irrelevant.

You are an ignoramus.
Why don’t you just admit you’re poor and any change in price will affect you?
There’s no shame in being poor.
There is shame in posting your usual nonsense.
