"Tariffs accomplished what they intended but made no difference". That is basically what that article just said and it was mind blowing. Tariffs successfully stemmed job losses in the sector. Tariffs accomplished nothing. Tariffs increased costs of tires from American companies. Tariffs were skirted by just continuing to buy foreign tires from next lowest companies. Which is it? These other countries only can produce for cheaper because they have no environmental standards and worker standards. How can we sit back and let American industry die off because we force our companies into higher standards that parts of the rest of the world don't adhere to? If you want to force that on American companies, then force America to buy American so they are not killed off by them. --- LoL ID = imajericho XBL GT = Corrik <cite>Corrik posted [p:898916909] in Politics C...
