Of course bagging a coffee is considered a unit of manufacturing.So we start building our own factories...From the link: "Trump said on Twitter on Friday that the U.S. will use its money from the tariffs to buy American agricultural products “in larger amounts than China ever did” and send it to “poor & starving countries” for humanitarian aid."maybe Willie can do a few Farm Aid concerts, and chip in -
Trump says US will purchase crops to offset China losses
so how is all that tariff $$$ helping us if Goldilocks takes the long road ?
what poor country ?
Mexico
Africa
??????????????
I'm confused! I thought we don't GET tariffs, we PAY tariffs. So when China ships us a load of Maytags and IPods, we pay an extra 25% and the cost to us goes up. And on top of that, we, thru taxes, subsidize the farmers who can't sell to China because of tariffs at their end. Every tweet I've seen from our tax-scammer-in-chief seems to imply that the tariffs hurt the supplier when they actually hurt the receiver. But then, what can one say to a bunch of people who think unwillingness to cover a broken promise (Mexico wall payment) is the reluctant taxpayer's fault instead of the one who promised time and time again as he knew full well Mexico would give us the finger. He knows his stooges well.
why do we want to move backwards in time?
Also, with the exception of during recessions, American manufacturing output has been pretty steadily growing...

China is polluting the world and killing their own people.
It makes good sense dollar wise...
