think about this way. If you don’t have tariffs we lost production base of steel and aluminum, and our managers will make effort to survive in a CREAT way. Now if we have tariffs we bring back the production base AND our managers will STILL make effort to fighting price increase in a CREATIVE way. Which way is better, to have industry base or price increase? The effort they make will be the same if not easier. Don’t think it as zero sum. Think forward going. Don’t just sitting there and ask for every benefits. Adapt yourself to the changing market condition for the good of the nation as well as workers.
The tax cut has left a huge revenue gap. The tariffs will generate needed tax revenue, while encouraging jobs and factories in the USA. All congressman complaining about the tariffs are bought and paid for by foreign countries. President Trump promised tariffs to help working Americans and he delivers.
Jam Tracks and Tracy - If President Trump could negotiate no tariffs in North America how long would it take the rest of the countries to head in the same direction??
Paul Artz - ABSOLUTELY! 100% correct! Tariffs will not ONLY be MANDATORY to "make America Great Again"...Tariffs are a source of revenue to the USA's treasury. Its a revenue that we'll NEED to help offset all the tax cuts. When the country was founded...the government relied on tariffs...100%...to bring in operating revenues. AND...............Tariffs don't, necessarily, mean higher prices. The price of ANY good or service is dependent on the consumer's opinions of that good or service. Economics 101 says the OPTIMUM price for ANY good or service is the point where the cost curve crosses the demand curve. THAT is the point that optimizes the overall profit on the product. Companies CAN'T just willy-nilly raise prices to offset increased expenses. Consumer just won't consume, in the quantities they did previously, before the price went up.
I doubt the 1% consume a lot of canned soup; just another tax on the poor people doing all the work that matters to this country.

Cut and paste much? It's bs btw.
Smith Islay - How about free trade between USA, Canada and Mexico? No tariffs in North America? Will you go for that?
That would be nice, but Trump has already threatened to leave NAFTA.
