If you buy foreign cars you pay a premium. Big fucking deal.dflea said:
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.
Who even thinks this thing will pass? It’s postering. A nutless monkey can see that. -

This decision isn't going to require a senate vote, if Trump follows through it will go into effect.CuntWaffle said:

Do you really not know the difference?RaceBannon said: -
Not a big fan of this particular action, but who's steel goes where is meaningless...its a commodity and an optimization of shipping prices and nothing more. That is why its a pretty good bet whoever was the journalist moron that wrote the original article highlighting this does not understand the basics of a supply and demand curve.Woof said:
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
China produces 50% of the global steel (and about 10x of what the US produces)...thinking this isn't aimed straight at them is FS.
Will be interesting to see the outrage if and when Trump really does cancel NAFTA like I think he actually might (and should)...if it happens it should be in a month or two.

Then they can aim it straight at them. The tariffs he's proposing are global.HoustonHusky said:
