I believe that I have made comments here supporting tariffs because I do believe that it can force American companies to choose between using American factories and foreign ones. Prices for goods will be higher but jobs will also come back. No matter how cheap things are, one cannot buy them without money.
You need to be careful with tariffs. It’s double edge.
Mostly only if one continues to import instead of produce locally. Sure there will be initial pan since we have dismantled many of our local factories. But there is a need to bring those factories back. How else would school dropouts like me get work.
I understand, but we need to ensure that it’s to address unfair trade and not propping ineffective operations. And I don’t think them factory jobs are for dropouts. They are highly skilled and requires solid vocational education and training! Don’t minimize them!
