It shouldn’t be just steel, but pencils and cars and screwdrivers.
Why should my tax dollars go to China or Canada? No offense, but if they want to play, they need to pay.
This goes both ways which is what makes it so deadly. Over half our business comes from outside the US. Are you proposing that other countries tell their companies to only buy software from local companies?
This is the worst thing they can do in a worldwide recession.
such as China for instance, use incredibly protectionist policies to discourage the sale of foreign products.
It’s probably better to err on the side of free trade than to become economic isolationists, but I don’t see what’s so bad about encouraging people to buy American. That alone is probably the number one job creator–better than any massive stimulus could ever be.
I understand why you want very open trade.
But if private money wants to buy something elsewhere, fine. But taxpayer money, no.
Why is the US always the economic patsy for the world? Sometimes I feel like a giant pincushion. “You MUST me sell you our stuff!” “You MUST take our excess citizens!” “How dare you have a tariff on something that we have but much bigger?”
Why must our tax dollars be looked upon by other nations as their god given right to receive? Haven’t we given away enough good jobs? And then throw our money after them? Hell no. Where are the Chinese and Canadian plans for pumping a trillion or two into the economy? That will help us?
Why are American cars imported into China whacked with a 25% tariff, but imports here (China soon to come) is about 2%?
Thanks Parsing for bringing some facts to this.
but lets do it by raising tariffs to match, and make it clear we will reduce as soon as they do. In other words, lets respond not instigate.
Yes I am close to this. But does that make me wrong to point out that this action could drastically hurt my company which is an American company employing 100% American employees?
Unlike the steel companies I’m not asking for protection. Unlike the banks & car companies I’m not asking for money. But I am asking that they don’t screw my company to give the domestic steel industry protection.
…a requirement that all report generating software come from Boulder.
Thanks, Obama.
