Last year when we got transferred to Guam from Japan we needed to replace our bedroom set. All the NEX had was furniture from China. I just figured it was because of the shipping distances. I didn't realize the ChiComs have been allowed to corner another market. Semper Fidelis.

"The illegal dumping by the Chinese

It is not 'illegal' in a free market economy.  Tariffs don't work.  Leftist barf alert.

Well it's a start. The Free Traitors are probably going nuts. Good. At least some American jobs will be saved.

They're cornering all US industry, thanks to the Free Traitor politicians. I'll be voting accordingly.

China is a government not a business.

may raise prices for consumers

No it won't. The retail prices charged in the U.S. hardly reflect the difference in cost between U.S. goods and Chinese. There's a small difference, just enough to undercut the U.S. goods. Why should they pass on the savings? They know people will buy just because they save 5%. They pocket the difference, and it's a big difference. The dumping isn't showing up in furniture store showrooms - it's on the bills to the wholesalers, who are cleaning up.

They don't, ask Bush why the steel tariffs were rescinded. They cost jobs in the long run.  Tariffs represent protectionism, ask Gephart if you don't believe me.
