But, again, he has to lay out how he would offset any tariff increases if he pulls out of deals.
How is he going to stop goods from increasing in price from tariff if he pulls out of a free trade deal or starts a trade war?
I am just amazed at the party of free trade has suddenly turned on it. It is like the whole Republican orthodoxy on free trade since the 1980s has vanished.
Sweet Jesus, save me.
Sweet Jesus, save The People from TPP. 6,000 fucking pages of legal morass; obamatrade beats obamaKare by 3,300 pages. Of course, no one has read it, either. The majority of it doesn't even deal with trade. Read this article and you will get physically ill.
In our industry products get hammered going to China with all kinds of costs and then a 26% tariff, of course that is on top of all the costs to contend with IRS, EPA, OSHA, MSHA, NLRB, DOL and on and on and on ...... rules and regulations spewing our daily in unprecedented fashion. So needless to say nothing really moves from here to China. But by God when China sends the same stuff here, it is free --- zip duty, zero tariff. But, rah rah rah, we have trade agreements, we can't start a trade war. WE ARE IN A TRADE WAR AND WE ARE GETTING OUR ASS KICKED BECAUSE WE HAVE MORONS IN DC WRITING AGREEMENTS WHO HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT IT TAKES TO COMPETE IN INDUSTRY. To hell with them.
Disgusting:
