I don't buy Mexican produce. Ever! Not even the organic one. Like they know what organic produce is down there. If there isn't any US or Canadian produce, we do without. And we haven't died yet.

Economics in One Lesson- read it
Basic economics- read it
Or else don’t pretend to know what you are talking about. And if you have already read them, I don’t know what’s wrong with you

It's every American dream to work in a shoe factory.

Looks like the OP is making full transition to progressivism.

Totally not the same as a "carbon tax" now is it?

Surely this isn’t a talking point of the media. After Roberts changed the wording of Obamacare from penalty to tax, the media was overwhelmingly overjoyed. That was too a tax on the American consumer.

Works like a sales tax or a value added tax only one doesn't see it on a receipt. Average cost per family of the tariffs already imposed is estimated to be $831 per year.
Market Watch
Of course if tariffs are imposed on imports from Mexico that number will go up.

You know what else no one ever mentions about these illegals?
Health care costs, we might pay a bit extra for Mexican goods but we will save billions on care from the ER. Look at California and Texas and their costs for health care from these illegals.

The discontent you see is an argument of principle.
Conservatives have always used anti-tariff stances on anything proposed by Democrats or other bodies they disagreed with.
However, as soon as you find some form of benefit that tariffs can deliver, you change course. So effectively you are saying "I don't really dislike tariffs on conservative principle, I am okay with them as long as they can be weaponized against my opponent."
The truth is that most posters on here are not conservatives, they are nativists. And if that's your position, okay, but don't pretend your something that your not (like Democrats).

I'm a big MAGA guy and all, but I sit in on some pension fund meetings and some really bright investment consultants who I respect a lot go apeshite over the tariffs' effect on the global economy. One guy today "you can't just go around slapping these on whoever you want - I agree with the Chinese that it's economic terrorism" 
I guess I don't really care as long as they don't crash the economy.

you have ingested the tainted kool aid and it has eaten brain cells all the while trump is spending millions marketing his businesses on your tab in europe and yet you worry about economic fairness?????
u should worry more about trumps lying and how the deficit and his ego is raping our country. the more he remains incompetent the more powerful becomes the liberal agenda which will rape us more. demand that trump do what is best for us rather than himself.

Lots of folks encourage people to shop local because it keeps money in the local economy and has somewhat of a multiplier effect. Before going into comparative and absolute advantages, hear me out.
This is a simple idea applied to a very complex international system, but at what point does the same idea hold true - that keeping the money in the local economy (the US) has a multiplier effect and is better for the country in the long run?
From a national security standpoint it would seem like a better trade off to no longer rely so heavily on imports.
Society has become so fixated on having the lowest price that it doesn’t consider other items of value that are being given up to get that lowest price.
Just something to consider.

Ah. Another small gov’t, Republican conservative willing to use the power of the federal gov’t to artificially manipulate the “free market” that he so readily proclaims to love.
I long for the good old days when only Democrats relished protectionist trade policies and gov’t controls on the economy.

On the 75th anniversary of D-day, while the left is whining about the cost of their avocado toast and their sacrifice, real Americans are honoring the sacrifice of so many on foreign shores to promise them their freedom to whine.
If the cost of a secure border is your sacrifice of your avocado toast, we may celebrate your determination and grit in 75 years. Then again, we may not.
