Agree Tariffs are so stupid The bottom line is the US economy thrives when the world economy thrives Everything is intertwined That's why smart republicans are against tariffs, its bad for business overall What a moron we have for a President Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

That sounds like a blessing, not being stuck with crappy quality American cars. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I have a 2011 Japanese car assembled in Canada with parts from all over the world. What does that make it? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

All the steel tariff will do is force the US manufacturers to send more manufacturing off shore where they can get cheaper steel. Net job losses in the end. What needs to happen is for the US steel manufacturers to get more efficient. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

At WWtwo end we rebuilt Europe and Japan but US manufacturers had old plants that had been heavily used seven days a week three shifts a day with lots of deferred maintenance going on. And when Japan steel mills sold steel they got subsidies and sold real low which drove the US steel mills into bankruptcy. |

The real damage to US steel mills occurred in the 80's. This was when the unions were still strong enough to fight anything that would cost jobs but make the mills more efficient. Canada rationalized their mills during this time and started exporting major quantities of steel to the US. Canada still accounts for 15% of the US steel imports but Canada also imports about the same amount of US steel. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |
