I agree that dealing with unemployment is more important than inflation. But easy money is not making a noticeable dent in unemployment.

If we want to fix the economy we need to shut off the imports from China and put our own people back to work. That will cause inflation too as Americans cost more than Chinese. But the end result is that Americans will be back to work, our economy grows, our industries rebuild, we become less entangled with foriegn countries and we become a much stronger wealthier nation.

I've become a broken record on tariffs, because it's the most important issue facing our country. That is unless eavesdropping Barry really is planning a coup. And even then putting people back to work diminishes the Black Spy's power.

Yes, you have. And you still can't seem to understand that Americans would be perfectly competitive if the federal government's monetary policies, tax policies, and regulatory policies were fixed.

It isn't our wages that cause companies to move operations overseas -- it's the taxes, regulations, and inflation. But they are unable to control those, so the only thing left they can control is wages.

Thus, they leave. Your call for tariffs just adds another bad policy on top of the others. Capitalism works if you let it.

Tariffs were good enough for the founding fathers then they are good enough for me.

The gloBULLists will say we offshore because of taxes, regulations, etc. I say major corporations LOVE those things because it gives them an excuse to off shore and prevents a smaller under capitalized competitor from starting up.
