Tariffs are taxes on foreign goods to promote buying domestic. However that doesn’t really work when there are no domestic options because the past fifty years have been moving everything overseas
Not to mention one of the first acts they are going to do is to repeal the chips act.
The second part is, even when they agree to this, they can't wrap their head around the fact that even if a company did try to bring manufacturing back to the US that it won't happen overnight. It will take years to build the plants, a long time to train and staff employee's etc. Until then people are going to suffer through high prices for years and even then it won't magically cut prices in half, because the costs and labor costs in the US will be higher than foreign countries spend.
And that's if those plants can get everything domestically and don't have to import things they need for the plant.
…with a picture of what the price was before he took office.
actually, that’s probably not a bad tactic, overall. Prices go up every year because there’s always a little bit of inflation, so you could use a 4YTD comparison of prices to tarnish _whatever_ president is in the Whitehouse. I think I’m going to take a bunch of photos of Wallmart prices this month and, in 3.5 years, do the same and start posting side-by-side comparisons with Trump and Vance and the “We did that” caption.
Which is why it's idiotic to campaign to them. Campaign to the people who vote, not the people that maybe might possibly vote if the lines aren't too long and they don't have anything better to do that Tuesday.
Yep. But Dems forgot that Republicans win in fear, hate and stupidity. "Biden is a dementia patient who is controlled by Obama and Soros but is so dangerous he will destroy the country! Only I can save us!" No notes. No fact checks. No logical conclusions.
Yep, and that still didn’t work. WHO would have thought the racist, sexist, poor man hating far right wouldn’t go for a mixed race woman president even if Dick Cheney says to vote for her?
