Just had a great couple meetings with contractors working on my house in North Carolina far from the beltway bubble.

None of them are impacted by the tariffs.   None of them were Hispanic.  They lived in the area since childhood, an electrician, a plumber, a contractor and helpers.

All of them support stopping the overwhelming immigration that replace US workers with cheap labor and all of them support tariffs to bring back manufacturing to US.

Maybe we should be able to build our own anti-biotics without the globalists demanding their cut.

Good Day![/quote]

Tariffs are a tax on every day goods. So regardless of your awesome meeting with your contractors, THEIR costs are going up. their food costs, their labor costs, their materials costs etc are ALL going up. They may not feel it today, but they will in a week or a month.[/quote]

Look at companies doing good on stock market.   Look at companies doing bad.    The companies going down are the ones that exported US jobs and rely on other companies to build things.  Hope they go in the toilet.

Maybe next time, hire a US worker.

Just a thought.[/quote]

Next time they want to make decent chocolate chip cookies, guess where the vanilla comes from?

I challenge you to name a list of products that every day Americans can afford that are made domestically.

Hint: almost nothing at walmart or target is made domestically. Guess where MOST Americans shop?[/quote]

There was some blogger a few years ago who tried to buy only American for a full year. Some things were so expensive - only $300 jeans made in the US. Others were simply impossible to find - it simply is not fully made anywhere in the country. I can't remember the name, but it was really interesting. [/quote]

DP.  For years, when we were DINKS, I tried to buy American (or European) for almost everything and succeeded 90-95% of the time.  But I had to give it up when we had kids because it was simply unaffordable.  [/quote]
