Washing machine repairmen are going to flourish, as are washing machine parts companies located in the US.

Mentally ill leftists hate to see small businesses in America flourish. They've spent decades trying to obliterate them.

No wonder they're freaking hahaha.

How can they flourish in a saturated market?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

No, that is what we have now or else our economy would not be in the midst of the second longest period of economic expansion in its history.

What Trump is doing is trying to fix what is not broken and that always leads to bad things.

Who decided that 500 billion trade deficit is not broken?

Is that an axiom in your naive libertarian ideology? Maybe it's time to upgrade that to reality based functional libertarian ideology then...

There is nothing broken about a trade deficit. We all have trade deficits, you have one with your grocery store, you give them cash and all they ever give you is stuff.

A trade deficit merely means that the people of this country have freely chosen to buy things from other countries. And you wish to curtil that freedom.

I am talking about overall trade deficit. This is debt.

And if you have a debt of millions of dollars, that's a problem. You merely asserting that it isn't so when we all know the consequences is of course nonsense.

The national debt and the trade deficit are two distinct things that have very little correlation with each other.

The national debt is not due to a lack of revenue, but due to overspending. Nothing to do with the trade deficit will fix overspending.

The trade deficit is real debt to external nations, through which parties openly hostile to freedom buy up this country. Again, you merely asserting that there isn't debt doesn't make it so.

You have this tendency of making up total falsehoods in order to not having to lift a finger to protect the freedoms we were granted.

The trade deficit is not debt to other countries, you are full of shit. The trade deficit is a mathematical calculation subtracting what we the people import as opposed to what we the people export.

When people buy a toaster made in China that is adding to the trade deficit, but there is no debt involved.

You are conflating two things that are not the same.!

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Well, this has been fun but it is time to go increase my trade deficit with Alid's and my local grocery store.

Peace out!

 

[miketx]

A fucking kia?
Yea we know now you want cheap ass shit from asia..

Dude I own a F150, a Chevy dually and a dodge ram I support American workers

I am happy for you, my Kia is a great car and perfect for my commute to work and back. And it came with a 9 year, 110,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty that includes normal wear and tear as well as factory defect.

But none of that money went to American workers.

Oh fucking well. I am not going to buy inferior products at a higher price just to send my hard earned money to american workers.

So your against a fair wage now?

Once again a liberal posts unbelievable shit

What he and all of them are is America hating shills.

I bet if they went up because of a union strike settlement or huge minimum wage increase, you would be celebrating.

And how many washers or dryers does one buy in a lifetime? I'm pushing 60 and perhaps I owned about four different sets. The set I have now I've owned for 15 years and have no plans on replacing it. Older Maytag's that are working just fine.

Agreed....
So ya pay an extra couple hundred bucks...big fuken deal.

So you are saying that the Chinese are not expecting anything in return for that toaster.

I mean you can believe that, apparently you believe anything if your ideology says so. But no honest person looking things through the vision of reality can agree with that statement. They want a payment, with interest.

Again, you support free riding over freedom, let's be clear of that. Using up all that freedom that Americans produced and not lifting a finger to defend it. What a fake libertarian.

So you are blaming tariffs that have not even gone into effect yet for price increases instead of things like the price of fuel, possible increases in wages, a tightening job market, increases in health care.
Ok so what else is going on in that crazy mind?

I will be happy to pay a bit more for various goods if it means that the money goes to American workers rather than Chinese or Mexican worker-bee slave-drones.

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Anyone who buys and sells on ebay and has communicated with Chinese sellers knows that most are deathly afraid of getting negative feedback.
I'm not sure what happens when they get it and so I try not to leave it even when deserved, but it seems harsh.

We need to put pressure on those other countries. As well as those taking advantage of the US.

Liberals and Democrats have it too damn easy here in the USA. They wouldn't last a day in the Communist/Socialist/Marxist "Utopian" societies they so desperately want to create.

And you still have not seen it from a liberal. The liberals in this thread are the ones cheering on the central government taking more control of the economy away from we the people..so pretty much everyone but me

Almost everything is made with steel or aluminum. The price of producing and buying a semi truck will no go up which in turn will drive up the cost of everything that is transported by truck. Which is everything.

The world has yet to see a conservative that knows anything about economics. To expect such a thing from a blowhard liar like Trump who's had to declare numerous bankruptcies is one of the big fantasies that cons cling to. Their dear leader is a moron as everyone said he was.

Of course, they expect payment in return, payment does not equal debt, unless you live your whole life in debt.

I just went grocery shopping and both stores expected something in return for what I was taking out of their store, they expected money. And they got money and there was no debt involved, just a transaction. That is the way international trade works as well.

You keep claiming that I support free riding, but you are the one that wants the government to prop up and give a free ride to the industries that cannot compete with the rest of the world...you are the free rider not me.

As a libertarian, I want the liberty to make that choice for myself and not have the government punish me with higher prices doing so. As a libertarian I do not want the central government controlling even more of the economy...you on the other hand are practically begging for them to be doing so

Yea I knew you were going to run away..

Nope, just needed food in the house. 4 teenage boys have pretty much taken up permanent residence in my basement this summer ,and those boys are like locust when they get hungry.

So I went to the store and I increased my trade deficit with both stores, to this day all they ever give me is stuff in exchange for my money...that is a 100% trade deficit that i have with them.

And you are free to do so, there are lots of products you can buy that are American made. Why do we need the central government to force people to do such things?

Why do you keep responding to your own post?
