You are not dealing with conservatives. You are dealing with idealists.


Wonderful paper people. "See, I wrote it down and it looks great doesn't it!"

Do you have a link to support your assertions?

So now, all you "conservatives" are for trade protectionism? We already have anti-dumping laws, you know. For those who don't care about history, trade wars usually end up being bad for everyone. Part of what caused the Great Depression were protective tariffs.

Decrease regulations and unleash American workers.

Don't punish the rest of the country for a miniscule sector.

I remember a time when unions and conservatives butted heads. Now they're giddy for one another.

Oh, well then, let's put a 1,000,000% tariff on ALL imported goods!! Just think how much THAT would help our economy!!!



You're an imbecile when it comes to anything approaching sound financial logic and reasoning.

Honest question: have you ever taken even the most basic macro-economics course??

Truth is truth. You have the same mentality as a straight up communist that spouts it works! On paper only.


When you are dealing with a nation that shites on you and knows damn well that enough greed in power players to accomplish their goals.... they don't care what you think. They are going to do what they want until you force their hand.

On paper your idea of free trade is great. At the end of the day, we all get together smoke a little, drink alot and hugs for everybody are given. Everybody has a job... and it's a lovely lovely THOUGHT.

In the real world HERE, we are being screwed by certain power players who demand they have access to a better bottom line no matter the consequences.

In the Real World of China, they know the power players want that money and they used it become what they are today and are now using that system to declare economical war on the USA. Have been for 2 decades.

It's people like you that can't think outside of a talking point that are easily convinced.

You are in a trade war.... it doesn't matter if you like it or not.

so the base model truck that now costs $50k will suddenly cost $80k

i cant afford the $50k one so it doesnt matter any way

car prices change based on what people are stupid enough to pay for them, not what they cost to make

that truck only costs $20k to make in 1990 and sold for $30k, today it still only costs $20k to make in 2018, but they just got idiots willing to pay $50k for them

That's happening, but again that will not stop a nation that has been at war with you from doing what they do. That nation has NO problem forcing people to work for just food and shelter.

realize what it is. You are trading with a communist country.

Why are you focused on China when Canada is a substantially larger importer of steel and aluminum?
