Mexico agreed to aid the US in stopping illegals before the tariffs even kicked in. China is tougher, but the tariffs hurt them a lot more than they hurt the US. Eventually China will fold and the tariffs will end. Something has to be done to stop the theft of intellectual property. If not tariffs, what is your solution? A shooting war with China? Trump is a negotiator. He makes huge demands and settles for a reasonable win (see Mexico, or the NATO spending for obvious examples). He was a salesman before he became POTUS after all. If you think the advantage of corporate tax cuts was to pass on the savings, you are more clueless than I thought. The US was bleeding jobs as corporations moved to lower tax countries. The tax cuts stopped the bleeding, and some are even moving back. Stopping the job loss was how the corporate tax cuts helped working Americans. Most purchases of equipment and supplies can be delayed. Those that can't and are also Chinese, will cost more, sure. What equipment and supplies are bought from China anyway? Probably not the more expensive items. Costs vary from year to year and the tariff is a one to two year (at most) tax. Compare a 25% markup in the wholesale price to the percentage change in fuel prices from year to year just to operate a tractor. Do your farmer friends think that they'll do better under a Democrat taxing them to pay for all of the giveaways and re-instituting the Obama-era regulations? "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
