So it's ok to throw American manufacturing jobs under the bus so long as US steel can make a profit?

This is literally what we are trying to reverse and what you are defending, you fucking tard.

By increasing their costs by up to 25%. Great plan brought to you by the genius of president Krusty.

I know you’re not this dumb - the point of the tarriifs is to increase wages in the US. Why you so pro Slave labor?

Can a state governor negotiate trade deals with a foreign nation state? Granted the deal is state specific...but still seems at odds with theme of Constitution.

Can you define how a tariff puts any upward pressure on wages?

Just admit that you clowns are only interested in cheap slave labor from china to keep your dildo prices down.

Tariffs are designed to make foreign goods more expensive than domestic goods, which in turn, makes it more profitable to manufacture the goods locally. Thus, the demand for labor goes up, which in turn, increases wages (not counting automation - I don't want to go down that route in this thread).

Manufacturers are already selling their goods at the highest price than can get - increasing labor costs then has to come out of profit margins...not out of higher prices.

Domestic manufacturers would collectively have to raise prices to match the foreign goods....but someone always undercuts...which opens the flood gates..
