He just wants it in America
he isnt helping the workers
he clearly failed in that in aim with the tax cut
Eh,
I've seen 2 factories open up in my town in the past year. There are job posting everywhere. Things haven't been this good for workers in a long time
in some industries, sure
take the first round of tariffs on steel and alimium, sure it helps the works who make the metals, but what about the massive industry that uses the metals
Who else is buying the metals?
who is buying the metals?
Besides America
Okay, real talk
i dont get the question
What’s “Alimium”?
aluminum spelled horribly wrong
It's about the marketplace.
😂
all countries use steel and aluminum, they are very common metals
thats still wrong, peper
If America is the main consumer of these metals then America can afford to raise tariffs.
aluminium*
For the people selling
which increase the cost for manufactories like Ford or Boeing
if you want to protect steel and aluminum jobs in the US there are other things you can do besides slapping tarrifs everywhere
tarrifs are just a brute force way to do it, and i would argue not the best
aluminium*
shush
you could subsidize the steel and aluminum companies, you couldalso offer tax breaks to companies that use amaerican made steel and aluminum
both of those ways would boost american steel and aluminum, not raise cost on steel and aluminum, and ot piss are allies off so much
our allies aren't very pissed.
o yeah, slapping tarrifs on countries doesnt upset anyone
It forces them to compete in different ways.
yeah, by putting tarrifs on american products
Yeah
and its almost like they target industries they can do without and disporotionatly hurt trump supports.
Depends in the market of the goods that have tariffs.
Time will tell.
Goes back to my point. Yes it helps a small.industry, but it hurts dozens of other industries which are a larger part of the us economy
My county is peeved with US trading, pulling out of the TPPA
They have counties in NZ?
