Yes, we absolutely need tariffs.
And higher taxes across the board, because our government spends more than it takes in.
Right...
GM and Ford need protected so they can continue to build crappy cars...
Funny how Toyota can build cars in the US and people want to buy them.
Per the Humphrey-Hawkins bill that defined unemployment levels, the USA is at inflationary levels of full employment. If industrial production were to increase in the USA, from where would the employees come? prisons? drug rehab centers?
And this overseas activity is not limited to industrial production. Software production is also going overseas. Why?
1) Lousy public education system is not turning out Americans capable of doing the critical work.
2) Pride, arrogance abounds in the work force. Many people are not willing to do "third world" work.
3) Not enough immigration. I work beside highly paid immigrant software developers because not enough Americans can be found who are willing and able to do the work.
Immigration is the enemy of outsourcing. Outsourcing is the enemy of immigration. It is that simple. Increase immigration and the production will be in the USA. Stop immigration and production will go overseas.
Solution: Petition Congress to
. . . . . . . REPEAL THE LAWS OF ECONOMICS
