Made in the USA...............not any more

I understand that one. One segment of society that has been hit hard but doesn't complain is the small business owner. I cut my pay 40% to keep people employed and i did not make that much money.


china is interesting with all the govt subsidy. But all tariffs do is drive the price up for the consumer.

I expected a response from that remark.

Here's my rationale....
While Mexico may be our neighbor, they are by no means a good neighbor.
Their govt does nothing to prevent the illegal trafficing of drugs into our country.
They do nothing to curb the violence that goes hand in hand with that activity.
They do nothing to control their undesirables entering our country.
Basically, they do nothing that is advantagous to our good ol' USA.
If North America were a living body, we would perform a Mexiectomy to remove the fast growing cancer it has become.

As far as China etc, also a negative influence on the USA, but their proximity makes it more tolerable.

While that is all true, I would rather it be Mexico that prospers instead of China. If Mexico prospered, then some of the issues above might go away.
