Tariff's are a good thing if the foreign product uses labor and materials that are substandard to US labor and materials standards.

Yes. The price is higher. But paying a 10 year old girl $1 a day to assemble products is an unfair competitive tactic that the American workforce should not have to compete with.

Fight inflation by not printing money for wars that don't concern us, not by shipping out our manufacturing to countries that use slave labor and allow toxic waste dumps in people's back yard.

The tariffs are not about making things cheaper, but about encouraging manufacturing locally and offsetting the price-gouging that our foreign trade partners engage in.

Yes, and makes things more expensive.

It MIGHT make IMPORTS more expensive, but when the foreign trader is using unfair advantages (China does this ALL the time) then it evens the playing field for locals. I thought you Democrats were all for buying local and equity and all that?

The 19% tariffs Trump initiated on China were brilliant. Even Biden agreed and he continued it.

Objectively false. Commit suicide.

Typical argument.

Back in my day a pouch of tobacco was a nickel
Back in your day nobody had a nickel.

Same crappy globalist argument.

If more Americans are working and wages are higher, the higher prices are not noticed, but more people working and more money staying in the country is.

No,you could put 100% tariffs on China and they'll still be cheaper. Just means you're Chinese shit has gone up in price.

Less people are buying the crappy Chinese shit and the better quality American products are more competitive.

That still don't get you where you're trying to go. Anything that harms Chinese manufacturing and promotes American manufacturing is a good thing.
