I could see how this could be your take - if you're a retarded weakling that needs tariffs to protect your shitty business model.greenblood said:
I actually don't mind tariffs. This is essentially a consumption tax. The more imported crap you use, the more you pay.insinceredawg said:
Please explain why the tariffs will help this country? This will spark a trade war and the losers will be consumers.doogie said:Had nothing to do with FED dumping assets.
Nothing at all.
I kind of wish we just had a national sales tax vs income tax anyway. At least everyone pays for this tax.
Go kill yourself, you tax loving donkey.

I can't find data, but I think it makes sense that Chinese steel could make it easier to Europe, or at least they compete for similar markets more frequently.RaceBannon said:
Sounds like the EU effects them more than us?Woof said:China accounts for about 2% of our steel imports. This doesn't do jack shit to them.
Our poutine-eating, hockey-loving brethren to the north and our mezcal and taco-making brethren to the south are the primary countries impacted, along with Brazil.
it may all be moot if China does join modern steel manufacturing. Their edge has been production like the US in the 19th century. Very dirty -

All this would do is raise the price of steel and increase the cost new construction. Offer subsidies if you want to prop up US companies, tariffs are the worst of all worlds.
Thankfully, Trump didn't sign it today when he could have, so it will likely be added to the litany of shitty ideas he hasn't implemented.
You should sign up and get RICH
The last time the US tried steel tariffs across the board, 200,000 jobs were lost and the US balked after reciprocal tariffs were threatened. Isolationist policies worked really well in the 20's, too. -
@FrontPageDAWG and his alternating up and down votes have paid off bigly for me in this thread.

If I like my steel supplier, can I keep them?

Republicans pounced on President Donald Trump's plan Thursday to slap tariffs of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on imported aluminum, warning that it will lead to a trade war and leave American consumers paying the price.
"New, huge tariffs on all kinds of imported steel is a big mistake that will increase costs on American consumers, cost our country jobs, and invite retaliation from other countries," said Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Penn.
