      That is extremely myopic. What happened to your call out that the tariffs would reintroduce manufacturer to America? How's that working out with Harley Davidson and now BMW leaving the USA? I haven't heard about any companies moving new and substantial manufacturing operations to our shores, have you?

        I never made any sort of a claim like that; you're merely projecting what you heard some comedian say that those evil Republicans say onto me. And you know what? If I were a business owner, I'd see the policy of the US as incredibly volatile. And evidently your sources didn't say much about Japan's investment, or even Apple manufacturing.

          The Spartanburg BMW plant, which is BMW's largest production plant in the world and employs almost 9,000 South Carolinians, produces 70% of BMW's exports globally. Spartanburg is (or was) the only producer globally for BMW's X3, X4, X5, X6, and X7. There are more BMW's produced at Spartansburg in a year than all BMW's sold in the US in a year.

          But sure, let's ram it up BMW's a** because the "Don't Call It A Trade War" rages on.

            It's unconstitutional for the US to tax exports. If other countries want to get all uppity and have import taxes because their globalist regimes don't dare deal with the US, that's their problem. We're not going to cow-tow and surrender to them basically giving away stuff because they've taken advantage of us for years. It's about time they contribute.

                This is really the tip of the iceberg on tariffs. It will result in so much carnage. Its really a mini brexit. Trump and the GOP are waay too confident in the Obama created US economic recovery.

                      I’m starting to get a bit worried as my job relies heavily on imports from China.

                      Of course since some of my coworkers voted for Trump, Scooby and co. will say I deserve it.

                        The 21st century is not the 1950s. We will all 'catch a cold' from this.

                          Who said anything about taxing exports?

                            No, you just reply to all of Trump's doings with "Are tired of winning yet?" Or you just go with some variation of "Winning", and link to an Alex Jones YouTube video that none of us will click because we're not fools enough to give him the ad revenue.

                              The Embargo Act? I know it's probably not covered in the history texts anymore, but way way back when we were told that banning trade with France and England stimulated American business.

                                Not sure if that's before or after the depression. But Smoot Hawley said it all. And today's economy is now far more global and connected than it was then.
