A 35% tax on imports would raise prices for consumers and hurt many manufacturers that use imports in their products. It would also start a trade war that would cost jobs in export industries.

Oh how The Slimes and Steinhoofer must be salivating to gen up some conflict with a “signal” of a kerfuffle with le Donald.

GO AWAY SLIMES! GO AWAY AND DIE! NO ONE NEEDS YOU ANYMORE!

Please - stop it! He suggested the tariff for companies that opted to leave the nation and expect to reap major benefits - not across the board.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The dumbasses are undercutting Trump’s whole negotiating strategy.

Read The Art of the Deal, people!!!

Bullshiite

Same spew used to sell NAFTA. None of it true. There is no free trade.

Tariffs were the primary source of revenue until 1913.

Ryan thinks tax reform id the best way? OK abolish income taxation. Then fedgov would have an incentive to do things that grow a real economy.

[Ted Grant]

They’d have a stronger position if the benefits of NAFTA and similar trade deals were clear and apparent. They’re not. They’re shooting blanks.

[elpadre]

Isn’t it true that our trade pardoners tax American goods sold in their countries while their goods come in here duty free??

If so, then that is not free trade and the war already exists.

[Uncle Miltie]

I prefer tax cuts.

The House will do what President Trump tells them, lest they get individual nasty surprises like the ones dished out on November 8th. :)

[catnipman]

Uh, folks this is simply more fake news from that fake news source NYT.

The House is just mouthing off while they still can, and the NYT is genning this up as a great war between the House and President Trump. The House won’t know what hit them if they actually DO try to obstruct President Trump when he fires up his bully pulpit to appeal directly to the people while privately signalling that his primarying efforts are under way.

Veto the traitors bill

We tax all our exports and place no tax on any imports, and we have a half a trillion dollar trade deficit. So tell me how is that working out for the USA?

We are in a trade war already and we are getting our asses kicked. The big corporations are making a killing and the US government is raking in billions in taxes and main street is dying.

The House republicans are showing who their real masters are the Chamber of Crony Commerce. FAIR-FREE Trade, no more just free trade.

[Mr. K]

IS IT TOO EARLY TO START CALLING THIS THE “FAILED TRUMP ADMINISTRATION”????

[Sam Gamgee]

I say we go to war where China is concerned. They get lower standards, prison labor, ect....which we cannot compete with.
