Trump tariffs are set to cost U.S. households $2,000 in 2020, research group finds | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 18913868 United Kingdom 09/08/2019 10:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you don’t buy cheap Chinese shit it doesn’t cost you anything. That’s the purpose of tariffs. To level the playing field so domestic goods can compete. I’d rather buy something made in USA that lasts 10 years then cheap Chinese garbage that lasts 3. With that example the Chinese goods costs 3xs as much as American Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77773466 Also, I think most people would be happy to pay a little more, if it goes into the pay packet on an indigenous worker |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 13827591 United States 09/08/2019 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | China has to pay the taxes with US dollars and the only place China can acquire US dollars is from US consumers. Quoting: MlCHAEL US consumers will and are paying the taxes. Interest rates have been dropping since 1982 or for 37 years. China was opened up to US consumer debt inflation in the late 1970's All the surplus US dollars in China were then used to buy US treasuries which caused the treasuries to increase in price and yields to drop lower and lower. For 37 years. Now this is over. Now yields have to rise up more and more. To accomplish this prices have to rise more and more. The tariffs along with increases in minimum wages are designed to ignite hyperinflation. To break you all out of the mentality of the past 37 years with continuously dropping yields. The Chinese monetary officials and the US monetary officials have been working together hand in hand for the past 37 years. Michael, I bear you no ill will but all of this you have posted is incorrect. Free market forces in the US will continue to work, and if we stop trade with China altogether we will simply move that trade to other countries who will not steal our intellectual property. We are not going to the insane $15 minimum wage, and if we do it won’t result in hyperinflation, it will just cost a lot of entry level workers their jobs when we go to automation instead. It will cause problems, but not hyperinflation. The US has its issues at present because of the socialists in our country, but we aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. BTW, Canada should really be cheerleaders for the US, Particularly when it comes to issues of world power. . . Just saying. |
