Home builders angry as U.S. moves to double Canadian lumber tariffs
I guess if you're president and live rent free, and already own 6 houses paid for by China, you don't care.

“At a time when soaring lumber prices have added nearly $36,000 to the price of a new home and priced millions of middle class households out of the housing market, the Biden administration’s preliminary finding to double the tariffs on Canadian lumber shipments shows the White House does not care about the plight of American home buyers and renters who have been forced to pay much higher costs for housing," said National Association of Home Builders chairman Chuck Fowke.

Re: Home builders angry as U.S. moves to double Canadian lumber tariffs
When Trump put tariffs on Chinese stainless steel, I remember suppliers I used went out of their way on the quote to point out that prices went up specifically mentioning Trump and the tariffs as the cause... Literally putting that statement on the quote for no apparent reason.

And the product only used a small amount of steel. Do you think companies will do the same for Biden?

Democrats were rarely in favor of free trade so don't be surprised if they don't get rid of many of Trump's trade tariffs and increase some of them to supposedly "protect" American "workers" (the real beneficiaries will be the wealthy owners).

Re: Home builders angry as U.S. moves to double Canadian lumber tariffs
I don't understand why lumber skyrocketed. I get the labor reduction, etc., but this is extreme. My deck is rotting and I planned on replacing this spring. But I'm doing a few boards at a time now. $17 per 1x6. Stupid.

This is just another step to kill small business and cash business. They came first for the restaurants and deli’s and now contracting because its one of the last good cash businesses that doesn't need any govt to get it done. They are very obvious with their goals.

Re: Home builders angry as U.S. moves to double Canadian lumber tariffs
Biden and his handlers dont care about inflation

Inflation hurts those who are responsible and save their money and live within their means

Inflation helps those who over extend themselves into debt and do not live within their means

Guess which group votes for him the most?

Re: Home builders angry as U.S. moves to double Canadian lumber tariffs
Business channels have been having the home builders on for interviews. They are all saying the same thing. They are selling their homes almost too fast. They say that as one project is winding down they have another beginning. They said this model isn't working now because the new homes are selling so fast they don't have time to get the next project up and running. A couple said they raised prices to try and discourage fast sell outs and it didn't work!

Trump actually put the first tariffs on Canadian lumber in 2018. The WTO ruled against them.

Now Biden wants to do the same thing again.
