RE: Tariffs for Imported Steel and Aluminum

in #import7 years ago

Great post and news. The fastest way to grow the economy is to bring the manufacturing back. By making products produced in other countries the same price, if not more, than locally made items, we would start buying American made goods again. What most people don't realize is the country used to be funded only by import tariffs.

I'm okay with importing goods, but only if they are quality products. People are more willing to pay the higher price from the import tax in that situation. When it comes to raw material like metal, stone, wood, etc., we should want to only buy American. The result will end up being more jobs and lower material costs.
