I was against the tax cuts only because they should have had proportional spending cuts. I would have liked to also have seen written into the bill that corporations that used over 15% of the value of the tax cut to buy back stock would be declared ineligible for the new rates. Also any corporation that outsourced 25% or more of jobs would also be ineligible. I’m for the tariffs. I’d like to see monies collected used to shore up industries that are truly harmed, such as farmers. We must level the playing field with China. Good news; tariffs are hurting China much more than us.

You seem pretty level headed and I feel the same about the tax cuts---Without the spending cuts the national debt just increases. I like your idea of making corporations play the game. I am skeptical of the tarriffs but I won't gripe if they actually work. Personally I think American companys should come home and make their products here. How to be rich means investing your capital in the country that made you great. You can make jobs for people and they can buy homes and build lives and raise familys. That is the moral thing to do.

Nice thought. When have business men chosen morals above profits? It was much more prevalent when we led the world in manufacturing. I would love to see companies come home but the number one driver of business costs is labor. If you think tariffs would raise prices of consumer goods you would really be shocked how much more expensive it would be to live if everything was made in the USA. Personally I’d be O. K. With that because it would mean more middle class jobs.

I buy clothes and work boots now that wear out way too quick. American made clothing was much better. I used to be able to buy good work boots for $40 a pair that were made in the USA. I would wear them a year and get them resoled for $17 and wear them another year. Those days are gone and the shoe repair shops are not around any more. When I buy Chinese made stuff it wears out too quick and I buy it over and over. No savings there--actually more costly in the long run.

I agree. I’m boycotting Walmart because they have a bunch of cheap Chinese crap and a ban on certain gun ammo.
