Obama increased the speed of the declining industry by 18x's. what should have taken 20 years to phase out happened in 2. And a ton of American family's are suffering because of it.

Funny. Obama got rightfully criticized for killing coal via regulations and taxes. Now Trump is threatening the same thing


What????

The two aren't even remotely comparable, but it's not surprising at all that liberals don't understand the difference

So, one president artificially increasing costs on a business via the power of the federal gov't isn't the same? Just because Obama used executive order instead of tariffs doesn't mean that it isn't the same result.

I love the fact that I'm liberal now BTW. Nice to know that free market capitalist are liberal in your world.

What happens when the market absorbs that tariff without creating jobs?

What worries me is the consumers just get stuck with paying higher prices for a lot of our goods.
