Trumps Tax Cut Hasn't Done Anything for Workers

[reeltight]

My pay check went up, but hen I lost a $3m order because of the tariffs so my commission will go way down. The tariffs are shit. Even with the tariffs the us will not be able to compete

[reeltight]

Even if the competition is foreign?

Steel is a global market. Foreign is irrelevant.

Even playing field? Those other folks have to pay for shipping, you idjit.

Shipping, lolz.

The USITC issued a report (TA-2049-A) check it out.

Call me when they shut 'em right back down when they can't compete.

Furthermore, propping an industry up by shackling the competition is not exactly something that I can get on board with.

YES THANK YOU

Don't you get it? Our money has been leaving the US to both allies and enemies because they tariff our goods but we've haven't properly reciprocated. President is just leveling the playing field. It seems like the entire world is reacting negatively because so many were happy with American gradually weakening itself. That has changed. The markets will adjust. There will be both good and bad as businesses learn to deal with the new reality but, ultimately, America will come out stronger because of it. It is sound global policy from President Trump.

What’s funny is that some of the mills starting up are buying Chinese pipe and valves to repair the systems because the domestic PVF is too expensive. Go figure

I agree with this. But until the markets settle...this sucks.

A free market would also adjust.

And, we wouldn't be pissing the neighbors off.

It wasn't a free market - that was my point.

Our neighbors will come around (with their hands out like they always do...)

I also agree with this but don’t think it’s plausible.

i didnt tell them to build their plants across the fucking ocean.

And they all RAPE us on import tariffs.

[Stripa Swipa]

So what happens when consumers can't afford to buy stuff from this "level" playing field? I don't trust China. But I don't trust Trump either.

[wbrown609]

Trump actually suggested doing away with all tariffs at their meeting, but other countries didn’t like that idea.
