Here's an example these existed before trump, you clearly do not pay any attention to economics.

270% on our dairy

*The North American Free Trade Agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico entered into force on January 1, 1994. Under NAFTA, trade in all industrial goods between the United States and Canada became duty-free on January 1, 2008.*

Come on man

don't be disingenuous

you have yet to prove a point

I just did 🤦

dude

arwe

fds.fhjsdlkfhsdflkshdfklshfsdkljfhlskfhsopeiuwhopiuww

your only point has been that tariffs are bad in the short run but nobody disagreed with you

I made that point and that nations have LOWERED their tariffs over time

not increased

yeah, nobody is disagreeing with you, it makes sense to lower them over time

And that all industrial goods between Canada and the US have become duty free

@FriarPop Which they have without Trump's retarded tariffs 🙄

Now they're increasing them because we've launched full scale trade wars with them simply because of Trump's ignorance of basic economic understanding

No

Jfc

No?

Tell me where Im wrong

Increasing tarrifs makes using local sources a a viable option when importing is so cheap, boosting local production

Tariffs protect industries at the expense of the consumer which they get hit the hardest

Besides, Trade deals aren't the existential threat facing factory workers

There is a cost to everything

It's advancements in artificial intelligence

That's the existential threat

Not yet

@An Elbow The cost of hitting the American consumer seems more devastating then laying off a few factory workers, right?

Let the market decide, not the government

"Not yet" lol

Technology is advancing too quickly

Faster than we can keep up with it

No. Creating hundreds to thousands of jobs is better than making a few things more expensive

Making things more expensive is devastating to the consumer buying the products that have tariffs on them

Bush's steel tariffs lost 200,000 jobs for every job created

If that's what you want, by all means go for it

Bush's tariffs also made the American consumer pay an additional $200,000 to $2.3 million

You have no idea what economic devastation is lol. You live in a first world paradise 😂
As I said, there is a cost to everything... But these tarrifs will help "lower class" workers by mass job creation.
