re: The return of manufacturing through tariffs is fantasy

In trips to Korea, Japan and China over the last few years, one thing I noticed is that there were no empty or shutdown factories.
My sister-in-law bought me a Phillips electric razor in Korea while she was there. It cost her $150. It sells on Amazon here for about half that price.

I’ve recently been down this rabbit hole while reading up on high speed rail. One of the biggest factors when determining where to build a new manufacturing plant is what is known as time to port. In a nutshell, how long does it take my goods to leave my facility and end up on a cargo ship out of the country. Right now, it can take 2 to 3 days and maybe even longer. The same constraints exist when bringing goods inland as well..
There are currently 5 major ports in the gulf and 2 others on the east coast that are vital to our import and export of goods and none of them are linked in such a way that can compete with the speed at which China, Japan and the EU can.. The southern United States sits on a massive, untapped economic engine that could rival China and the EU and no body even realizes it.

Biden never cut the last tarrifs. Democrats wont let go of a buck if they launder it.

What the hell do you think he's doing with these tariffs? If they dont return mfg, what purpose do they serve?

Then why do other countries do it to protect their manufacturing base? Clinton sold out American workers in return for cheap shite.

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean honestly. Companies are always doing this, so how in the world can you attribute it to tariffs?

That's the rub. As soon as the Left regains power, every economic policy this administration has pursued will be abandoned.
When it works, if, thats if, they get back in power they will just take credit for the booming economy.
Im a huge Reagan fan. He took over and the economy was shat. However, one of the things Carter had done in desperation was to put Volcker in charge of the Fed.
When Reagan got in office a few confidants pulled him aside and said "Boss I think this Volckers' policies are starting to sprout some green shoots". Reagan left the policies in place, along with Volcker.....then announced it as Reaganomics!

I just don't get the endgame here

What? Your links are not in support of your claims. There has not been "$6 Trillion of investments" due to tariffs. There's been promises for a lot and barely any made...with the real risk of this entire tariff thing unwinding anyway. quote:Winning = countries saying things without actually doing them? Weird.

What keen analysis?
Then replace the plan with something else or shut the frick up.
