Before you go, let me just get it out there that Trump has mentioned regulations many times when he’s on news shows. He may not do it too much at rallies but I’ve certainly heard him talk about over regulation on all the tv channels. Rush should know that. Trump is a businessman, why wouldn’t he know that? Because he runs a hotel business he would not know that???
Here is the problem with the “consumer pays it” argument:
if the Carrier Air Conditioner is made as expensive to make in Mexico as it is in America, they would make it in America.
Now, you could say, “people wouldn’t buy it at that price”-—but they would if foreign air conditioners made outside the US faced a tariff offset as well.
I’m not sure it’s “government picking winners and losers,” but rather government saying, “wait, we will all start on the same playing field. If you tax our stuff x, we tax your stuff x.”

Excellent point miss!
Rush doesn’t just have a pro-Cruz agenda, he’s lazy too! I don’t think he does any research on his own anymore.
Trump needs to make it (regulatory bastardization) a centerpiece of his discussion of attracting and keeping American businesses here. If he’s said it, I didn’t catch it, and I watch probably 70% of his live rallies and tv interviews.
If he’s saying it, he’s not saying it enough. He needs to spell out the big picture — how it is happening, who is behind it, and why. It’s not that complicated. And American people need and deserve to hear more than “I’m gonna slap a 35% tariff on every air conditioner, every Oreo cookie, every Ford vehicle...etc”.
That’s the sloppiness about Trump that I don’t like. He needs to be more precise — tell the people PRECISELY why these companies are leaving.
And then work into that the slave labor — the illegals — and how that all plays into the problem.
At one point Rush kind of made a little slam about the hotel business—”The hotel business isn’t over-regulated.”
Maybe not, but the construction trades most certainly are over-regulated, Rush, and to arrogantly assume that Trump doesn’t know all about over-regulation and its deleterious effects on business is laughable.
