    Lol. When were the layoffs and when were the tariffs? Where did you buy the steel?

    Do you even know where we get most of our steel?

    Still think Trump understands anything about business or cares about anything but his inflated ego? Be prepared to pay more and see jobs disappear if these tariffs are enacted. Oh yes for those who says it’s a negotiating ploy as the stock market what it thinks http://click1.e.reason.com/thpptptffhwktvsckbtmvkdhsckplwtgvhsdhdwbhjhp_omrjqkqjdtwzzqljmwq.html
    BTW we make 70% of our steel in the US. We get most of the rest from Canada and Mexico. However as anyone who has a basic understanding of economics knows when some companies are forced to raise prices their competitors will also raise their prices. Steel and aluminum prices will rise by the same percentage as the tariff.....as they will with everything that has additional tariffs.

    I love articles that start off with “could”.

    Aliens could visit us any day now.

    That’s news today folks. Nothing but assumptions.

    While I lack formal training in either diplomacy or international relations it just seems kind of dumb to raise tariffs (and piss off) the country (China) that we need to help us with North Korea (preventing catastrophic war). All of Trump’s shit is “transactional” with no thread of either strategy or continuity.

    I once thought we could just “cowboy up” and get through (grind through) 4 years. Beginning to doubt that’s gonna happen.

    You realize China employs massive tariffs already right? It’s how they manipulate their economy. They borrow massive amounts for their state run growth.

    If anyone removed the word Trunp from this they would see clearly. It’s a tactic.

    Trump's playing a dangerous game major-messing with the economy, but maybe it will work out.

    No they’re predictions based on knowledge of economics and the past. The articles look specific causes and effects of the tariffs as they were proposed by Trump. How they impact is common sense and knowledge of the economy. There is a list in one of the articles that detail the impact. Read it why don’t you.

    There’s a difference between the remote possibility of aliens visiting and the reality of predicting a car caused by texting while driving. These predictions are closer to the car wreck scenarios than aliens by orders of magnitude.

    I did read it. Said we would pay a high price. High price for what? He just said a bunch of shit with nothing to back it up. Also didn’t mention the tariffs already on the books for China.
