Or them, with incredible surplus? Actually China has a trade deficient, just like the US.

exactly like gasoline. Has there been any reduction in use? no. has there been revolts in the street? no. will there be? no. People buy it because they need it and it is cheap. If you think a paltry 27 cents on the dollar increase on what people want to buy is going to stop them from buying the cheap crap China produces I have a bridge you might be interested in.

Joe MetalStamper can keep making 40 $/hr wages plus meds and pension...
That's the root of the problem amongst so called conservatives....there is a snobbish and a deepseated hatred for the blue collar class by some folks.....How do people think the middle class came about in this country? Joe Metalstamper should really be making $6.00 an hour with no benefits because that's all he's really worth...come on, admit it....but CEO's that drive a company into the ground and still get 30 million a year...well watch them justify that one, spin it into "well that's what he's worth to the shareholders"....i can't wrap my pea brain around that mentality.

Well said. I thought I was on the Socialist Worker webpage for a moment there. Tariffs don't make a product competitive; they worsen an already bad situation.

The biggest problem for automakers is that they have already sold everyone in
America a car or two. It is called market saturation. they had a slick plan to deal with that called planned obscelence, but Ralph Nader put a stop to that. Now cars cost a lot more and last a lot longer. It might have been better if union thugs had put out a contract on him, better for the UAW, that is.

Don't get me started on Nader. Unsafe at any speed, that guy.

If we boycott China, can I still have General Tso chicken?

"How do you stop it without political argument?" Better to have that argument now while we still have a military advantage than 20 years from now when our entire manufacturing base is gone, and we have no leverage left.

Through high school ('62) with a graduating class of 500, I can't remember a single working mom or a divorce for that matter.
Different times.

I will agree with the confused part.
Tariffs do nothing but worsen the situation.

"Given a choice between China or Mexico, I'll buy Mexican-made instead because it might keep folks on that side of the border!" Amen. Much different pumping money into the economies and government of Mexico or Japan than Comminist China, for Pete's sake!

Who protected Chrysler?
The US taxpayer to the tune of 13 billion in 1980. they still didn't make it. The government bailed them out the first time.
TIME magazine.Questions about whether a quick federal fix is rightand will be enough The Carter Administration decided last week that now was the time to come to the aid of the nation's most beleaguered major company. After weeks of rising pressure for a federal fix for the multiplying problems of Chrysler Corp., Treasury Secretary G. William Miller producedand Jimmy Carter approved a Government bailout. It was designed to prevent the nation's No. 3 automaker (1978 sales: $13.6 billion) from sliding into a bankruptcy that could have put many thousands out of work and sent a shudder...

Besides what use do the Senators have in mind for the money extorted from the taxpayers by such a tax? Why to help to pay for the costs of feeding,clothing,housing and caring for millions of illegal aliens of course....

It's good that you like inflation so much.

"China can eat our lunch." Yup. The Chinese have been playing the 'free-trade' game for several thousand years. Ever wonder how casinos in Vegas stay open there, free-traitors? It's because they rig the game. China's doing the same thing. If we don't wise-up to that fact real soon, we're going to end up rolling 'craps' as a country.

Inflation is the sign of a growing economy I have no problem with it. Hyperinflation is another matter. Also I am not so blind as to recognize that if the price of raw materials goes up or the demand goes up or the cost of shipping goes up the price of the finished product goes up. There are however many people who do not grasp this simple economic model. That however I blame on the woeful state of the American education system.
