The Free Traitors assured us this was impossible.

The problem is that the tariffs need to be made permanent to attract the investment needed to increase capacity and to incentivize foreign manufacturers to in-shore. Foreign manufacturers investing in the US was a major source of growth in the US in the 19th century.

We need Congress for that and these worthless republicans have done absolutely NOTHING to help the president. The Republican Party is doing it again. They handcuffed Trump in 2016 and they are doing it again this term. After this election I will never vote for a Republican again. Fool me once………fool me twice……..

Also a critical component to increase hiring. Companies are going to postpone hiring as long as possible until they're certain the tariffs aren't going to disappear suddenly and set the market back to what it was. It costs too much to hire and train an employee only to have to lay them off before the company can utilize them fully.

The Free Traders also say that everything should be properly advertised and labeled where it is made.

One has to be experienced in web searches and then search to find the foreign vs domestic content of what they buy.
The Tesla probably has the highest US content of an car. But I bet most do not know that.
