We need to place a 10~15% tariff on all imported goods and materials. Thereby increasing prices for American consumers by said 10-15% in the middle of the worst economic times since the Great Depression. You really need to stop getting your economic education from the back of cereal boxes, Willie.

Considering that we dont export much anyway, it is a trade war that we would win.Are you gunnin' for A+Bert's position?
American export value peaked in early 2007 at just under $340 billion quarterly. What America does produce is capital goods. Engines, boilers and factory components. High-value products that are used by developing countries to make lower-value things. America gets 40% of its export revenue here.

Second the pinhead remark.
Willie, it's too early to be this drunk.

You’re demonstrably wrong on every single thing you’ve posted on this thread, so you think insulting me will change how wrong you are, A+WillieGreen?

That 1.7 trillion in exports comes out to over $4,700 worth of goods for every man, woman, and child in America. And Willieboy that isn't what I "think", that's what I know.
I posted a source refuting your boneheaded statement that we don't 'export much' anymore.
Willie would have us reduce that number by only God knows how much with his idiotic tarrif war.

A+Bert was a better man than you, girly-boy.

Since Willie retired from the railroad, drinking is all he does.

"Example: I can buy a completely made up, ready to install cabinet system for my garage made in China cheaper than I can buy the materials to make it myself due to Environmental fees the producers, manufacturers, and distributors of the products I need are required to pay, and pass on to us all in the costs of the product."
And the environmentalists are whose family members, employees, former employees,...? Their backgrounds have been researched by others who attended commissioners' meetings. That's no way to compete in business. For example, it's not right for an international lumber business to use its phony environmentalist hags to shut small mills down (happened long ago), and local zoning "laws" against new, small manufacturing businesses on large acreages in the middle nowhere are tools of corruption by the morally bankrupt (those who will not compete honestly).
