DITTO that and it’s about time Mexico feels the pinch of their bad behavior allowing caravans to go through their country like “you know what” through a goose to invade our southern border.
Not really. Relying on cheap foreign labor is just living on borrowed time. Or more specifically, it’s living on a borrowed standard of living.
It means that slowly over the last decades we have been trading our national industrial complex in exchange for artificially inflating our standard of living with cheap foreign goods.
It seems to work well until the nation realizes that it no longer produces much itself and is dependent on the cheap foreign goods to even keep going.
Like most things government, the people that pay the price are rarely the ones that reaped the benefits.
It’s like a reverse mortgage, but it’s selling your your national industry instead of a house.
It’s been a year since the steel and aluminum tariffs and they’ve been of almost no help to those industries and next to no affect on foreign makers. Your emotional attachment to tariffs mean squat in the world of economics.
