You may be doing quite well. But thanks for once again confirming your lack of empathy.
Empathy fades when comprehension kicks in.
Even a broken watch is correct twice a day.
So you're saying the liberals aren't broken watches, because they're never right ever.
And the alternative:
We don't impose tariffs so it's cheaper to make it elsewhere.
Tariffs cost money.
What sense is there in imposing taxes that hurt the economy?
Outside of playing favoritism on the political scene?
When it's made elsewhere we lose jobs.
No. People who used to make it here lose jobs. People who buy it here save money, and the money saved is used to finance other industries, so people in those industries gain jobs.
The goonion fish cleaners in the American tuna industry were demanding $15 an hour to clean fish. Guamanians were willing to clean fish for a hell of a lot less. Goonions priced themselves out of work, the housewives that made tuna benefitted. So did their kids.
You people suddenly object to the concept of "the greatest good for the greatest number" when it means your goonions aren't benefitted?
What a big surprise there.:roll:
When people have no jobs they don't buy things.
When people can buy things cheaper, they create jobs.
Levi Strauss closed it's pants factory in Georgia. Some broad whose only skill was zipper attachment was put out of work. All broads buying jeans saved money. The zipper lady should have learned a more marketable skill.
When people don't buy things, companies go out of business and employ NO ONE.
Really?
So you're saying that all the companies that produced products with steel in them would have gone out of business if Bushy hadn't imposed the tariffs?
The cost of goods might very well increase and people will buy less but at least WE, the USA are in control of the process.
Really? So people buying less is good for the economy? It's the government's job to control steel prices?
Yes, the price of steel went up. Maybe it was too low because we outsourced it. :2wave:
Yes, the price of steel went up. The price of steel was not too low. The price of American goonions was too high.
