Inflation Reduction Act for one.
The tariffs should have spurred economic growth here in the USA, correct?
Once again... I told you the answer. It's policies. And I gave you one example.
Here is another.
New Deal-style American Climate Corps.

You did not. You threw a snotball on the wall hoping it sticks.
Biden expanded Trumps tariffs, why didnt they work in bringing mfg back to the USA?

Evidently, you don't grasp what policies are.
Just like with Reagan, Trump used it to bring jobs here. Samsung and LG continue to increase their capacity here and creating new jobs EVEN though the tariffs expired.
Here's Reagan's:
Key Facts
Within a decade, the import quota generated:
$25+ billion in foreign capital investment (2022 dollars)
8 new auto assembly plants
300+ new production facilities
100,000+ new American jobs
Today, Honda and Toyota have among the highest domestic content of cars sold in America.
The Quotas were removed in year 4.

According to market fundamentalists, free markets are supposed to create incentives and competitive pressures that spur productivity and innovation. Active efforts by policymakers are supposed to backfire.
The Japanese auto industry, insulated from foreign competition and subsidized by the state, was not a catastrophic failure, but a global leader in quality and innovation. America’s open market did not foster more resilient, productive, or innovative firms; it exposed them to near-fatal import competition. Only when American policymakers stepped in did the domestic manufacturing base improve and grow.

Perhaps it’s because that 10% for the Big Guy” was accounted for.

We are done here Roger. You've made a fool enough of yourself, no need in me adding to it.

Of course. Because you cannot figure out how the Trump/Biden tariffs failed to bring back rubber dog shite factories.

He is telling them don’t raise the damn prices just because the foreign cars have tariffs on them. Basically he’s telling them not to price gouge and use tariffs as an excuse to raise their prices to make more profit. He’s trying to help them be more competitive.

Youve just proven you have no clue what "conservative" means. Which leads you to vote for left wing populism

but what he's doing is attempting to set them up for consumers to be angry at them instead of him when they have no choice but to raise prices in the face of these tariffs.
Am I misunderstanding or is this where the US manufacturers do NOT have to raise prices because they won't face tariffs? It's the foreign auto makers facing tariffs, correct? Isn't he essentially saying, because foreign cars will be priced higher, because of tarfiffs, US makers shouldn't increase pricing as they're not facing those tariffs? To me it sounds like he's trying to protect US citizens from getting gouged.

1) Even cars made in the USA have foreign components.
2) Tariffs reset the market, you would be a total tard NOT to raise prices.

Link to where US auto makers face tariffs because of some foreign components? You might be right, but I'd like to see proof that US auto makers will face tariffs.

BS. That's price gouging by US auto makers. They have no reason to raise prices if they're not facing tariffs. They can keep prices the same and sell the shite out of their cars over foreign made cars because they have a better price point. I understand you have TDS, but can't you grasp the idea that's why Trump said to them the WH would look unfavorably upon that act? They don't need to be greedy.

US automakers use foreign components12345. In fact, half of the cars sold in the United States are imported, and every car built in the U.S. last year contained foreign-made parts1.

An informed one, youre totally ignorant and embracing progressive "price gouging" narratives.
Thats the narrative Joe Biden gave your left wing arse

Yes, that's my take.

Why is it o.k. for him to gouge American citizens with tariffs, but the auto companies shouldn't gouge American citizens for profit?
Again, this is exactly the narrative that the Biden administration used to try to deflect attention from the economy he presided over.
