Cheap imports have masked the true inflation rates in the US, which are running near 10%.

Inflation raises prices. Cheap overseas labor brings them down. So they sort of cancel each other out. This looks good in the short term, but the long term effects are a deindustrialized America, devalued dollar, declining real wages, and ultimately an inflationary depression.

Geez. Lindsey Graham is such a little weasel.

I think we need more "Buy America" programs, and not more tariffs. How many of you recall the "Made in America" program from the late 70's and early 80's? I recall that approach worked very well. We need to let the free market correct this issue. IMHO

I'm for the tariffs. I want Americans to have a chance to live a good life with manufacturing jobs. Americans with good jobs can buy things and contribute to our economy. Americans with lousy jobs only buy essentials.

China has tilted the playing field with the manipulation of their currency. I tarrif would tilt it back.
