A new study from the Federal Reserve found that President Trumps tariffs are backfiring.
According to the Fed study, the tariffs that went into effect in 2018 have led to not only higher producer prices but also a loss of jobs across the U.S. particularly in manufacturing. . .

Industial production is down from year ago levels. Down by less than 1%.
From your chart:
- Nov 2016: 101.5178
- Nov 2017: 104.4259
- Nov 2018: 106.8101
- Nov 2019: 106.0932
That comes to a 0.67% drop.
From two years ago, it's a 1.6% increase.
Since President Trump was elected, it's up by 4.5%.

Unfair tariffs by other trade nations is the only reason for Tariffs by President Trump. No tariffs by either side would be fair. For years our politicians have sold us out in accepting these trade deals. It has cost us Billions of dollars in trade. These bad trade deals were either due to incompetence or corruption. Makes you wonder how many bribes were paid along the way?

We have an entire party devoted to globalism and off shoring - The Republican Party. The other party, the Democrats, are determined to foment a global genocide. Half a billion is their preferred number of living humans. They want to exterminate 6.5 Billion people.

As you note, 2018 saw strong growth. But the tariffs really only started hitting in the second half of 2018 and escalated in 2019, which saw the decline.

The strong economy is what allows Trump to use tariffs for leverage as they might “harm” the economy slightly. Bottom line that the libs don’t want to understand, thinking and planning ahead may be short term pain for long term massive and sustained gain. SMART.

Oh and another thing, did any of these globalist arsehats even give a damn about manufacturing jobs as they shipped them all to Timbuktu?!!!
Partner, the MSM wants the tariffs taken off because Americans need to lose their jobs to the Chicoms.
I strongly believe that the Chicoms want to nibble at our superiority of Technological genius little by little until the Chicoms control the USA.
President Trump is trying hard to stop the nonsense from the Chicoms, since the CEO's of this great country want Americans to lose their jobs.
We have training folks from other countries to take away American jobs for years. It is pathetic to say the least.
The Chicoms are already in Hong Kong and they are using their superior force upon these folks so that the Chicoms will remain superior in the eyes of the Chicoms in China.
The first Bush could have done something but did not, then came the Clintoons, then came W. then came Obama. We had 28 years of nothing being done against the Chicoms and along comes President Trump and he did something about the Chicoms and the MSM is all over President Trump. Give us a break MSM.

To: FlipWilson
Ok, I read the article. “Cavallo et al. (2019) show that product composition appears to be a key determinantin the differences in tariff pass-through between U.S. imports and U.S. exports during the2018-2019 tariff escalation, while also showing that the majority of U.S. tariff increases arebeing absorbed by U.S. retailers. “
The author is just too stupid to understand it.
According to the article Manufacturing is VERY SLIGHTLY DOWN for a few months, but still UP, YEAR OVER YEAR.

If it is fear to refuse to associate with hotheads or to rescue them from the consequences of their own impulsive actions, then color me as yellow as buttercups and sunshine.
For all I know you’re a Deep State plant intent on a false flag operation.
