RE: The amount of money in imports may be small but how much would the value of American products be if the same products were made in America?
To see how import tariffs will help or hurt the USA, let’s look at recent history -— how did GW Bush imposing 30% tariffs on STEEL from China, Korea and Brazil in 2003 help?
Not much good. Those tariffs caused the domestic price for some steel products, such as hot-rolled steel, to rise by as much as 40 percent. The clear beneficiaries of the Bush steel tariffs were steel industry executives, stockholders and the approximately 1,700 steelworker jobs that were saved.
After a few years, the tariffs were rolled back.
Maybe you’d like to see another round of this...
RE: ny way they have all kinds of figures like illegals do not commit crimes nor do they take away jobs or lower the income of Americans. Do you believe those as well?
The article is about imports and exports and manufacturing. If you want to talk about illegals and how we can stop them, let’s open another thread.
