So you are telling me you are an amateur uber plumber and electrician and a master at refurbishing old school stuff, because every time I go get a replacement part for a sink etc at the box stores it sure ain't made here ( made in China ) and the parts don't fit or last.
I'd pay double, tripple etc to buy a faucet assembly made by a bunch of guys in a town in fly over Ohio knowing the work stayed here and the freakin' parts, fit, last, and are not junk.
And this is the screwing that Buchanan and Perot warned us about.
Don't even get me started on how Capital here is myopic and not available for something like General Aviation ( a ton of manufacturers were bought by the Chinese ) and yet they will VC an app up the ying-yang...
It is hard to increase production and net exports if you factories are now grass fields and empty parking lots.
Tariffs are a the medicine we need now. A 20% general import tariff balances the budget. Reduce income taxes now and replace with tariffs!
Not unless you need a job and you get one at a brand new state of the art factory. then it is a pretty good deal.
That is like saying “I won the fight. Why I hit his fists with my face over and over again.”
