I assume that since mainstream journalists, economics, and all the other Democrats have been attacking Trump and his trade policies for months, they can answer a small sample of questions:
If price is the bottom line, and there are no other factors to consider, why not advocate for the outsourcing of all our production?
Why don’t we just move all the American truck and car manufacturing to China, India, Mexico, and other low cost countries?
Why don’t we move all airplane, tank, and weapons manufacturing to other lower-cost countries? What could go wrong?
Should we move all our food processing plants and factories to other countries, since that would certainly lower costs?
Should we go along with Biden and other Democrats and close out everything related to coal, natural gas, crude oil, and pipelines and rely on other countries for much of our energy needs?
Should we move farm equipment and construction equipment factories to lower-cost countries?
Isn’t it amazing that all of you who are suddenly worried about the tariffs on farmers weren’t worried when fuel, fertilizer, interest rates, and other costs rose rapidly under Biden’s policies? Where was the concern for farmers when Bill Gates, China, and others were outbidding American farmers for farmland? Where was the concern when Biden and the bureaucrats added endless regulations? Where were the concerns over Democrat plans to outlaw gas and diesel machines, and make farmers buy expensive, and less efficient battery-operated equipment?
Should we move more of drug and medical equipment manufacturing to China, a communist country that developed COVID and lied about it? Haven’t these people learned about relying too much on other countries during a pandemic?
Should we move our accounting, computer, legal, architectural, engineering, and other white collar industries to lower cost countries to save money?

It’s been tried to get them to answer a similar question.
“What level of taxes is too high?”
Crickets 🦗 !
I’d expect the same response from them.
With floating currencies, trade imbalances would fix themselves in time.
If a country imports a lot more that hey export, the value of their currency would fall relative to that of the exporter making imports more expensive and thus reducing how much gets imported.
““What level of taxes is too high?””
That level is reached when people who don’t pay taxes
vote in people that pass tax laws on the rest of us!
Taxes for you and not for me!
That is what I like about Tariffs, everybody has to take a bite of the Schiff sandwich. Kind of like sales taxes, everybody has to pay.
That is part of the reason we did not have an income tax initially, it took some populists to get an amendment through
and enacted, look what it has done to our country!
We despise the rich that hide their money overseas and we despise the non-contributing population that constantly want more, more, and more.
Nice united country we have here.
Great. I like the way this author lays it all out.
He connects the dots beautifully.
Thanks for the post: you sought and found a valuable opinion column.
I always ask: what’s your plan to reduce the huge trade imbalance in our trading partners favor?

Democrats have no solutions. Just yap yap yap. And they can’t even do that right.
