But let's get back on track. If someone such as Mr. Buchanan (and maybe you) believes that a tariff on LCD's will help bring LCD manufacturing to the U.S., isn't the lower dollar performing the same function? As a tariff, I mean.
“Vertically integrated?”? Care to translate that to english?
RCA and Zenith, off the top of my head, made millions of televisions right here in the good ole’ USA. Sylvania, Raytheon and others probably made the tubes, both the picture and receiving/signal tubes. RCA had their own plant, as well as General Electric and Western Electric.
Tariffs wouldn’t work regardless of how anyone feels of their efficacy. The EPA has seen to that. LCD production is too “dirty”.
I don’t think a vertically-integrated television manufacturing plant has ever existed in the U.S.
Very early car manufacturers. Today, some artisan type shops, such as jewelry and furniture.
