Prove it.

And while you're at it, tell me how buying products made by your fellow Americans is a bad thing.

I've posted lots of times on this thread. Feel free to scroll back and read what I said.

There's nothing wrong with buying American. However, if it comes via protectionism, that means ultimately you're going to buy fewer things.

If you're fine with that trade-off, then great. You've got a president who thinks that way.

If you were consistent I would applaud you but since you’re not I mock you.

How am I not consistent? Trade is a matter of debate here, thus I debate it. Who here is in support of IMO 2020? Where is the thread? Have you ever known me to argue for regulation?

It's just a deflection. If you were consistent, you'd be freaking out about both, right? Or does the hypocrisy only work one way in your mind?

Find a post of mine in support of the tariffs. Go ahead I’ll wait.

LOL

Because I think the article is bogus doesn’t equal my support for tariffs. I’d rather see us equal the playing field by removing regulations.

Have you ever made an argument against tariffs in this thread? Have you not made a habit of deflecting/opposing arguments, articles, facts, and other forms of evidence that reflect poorly on the trade war?

You mockingly call us "doom and gloom economists", but have nothing smartass to say about Trump, who you supposedly disagree with on this topic?

You're only fooling yourself, bro.

Counts on what? These are facts. Nobody wants to work at a factory anymore and the business that left will never come back.

So that’s your opinion nothing more nothing less. And I was just asking a question to understand your perspective. Which I thought was as a tool importer.

We import aftermarket auto stuff. It’s not really an opinion. Nobody is coming back to the US.

So the US is always going to have a mfg business to support national defense as well as other speciality mfg areas. I also know that for a fact I live it every day. Our materials and sub assemblies are not allowed to come from offshore and material Providence is a requirement. Is it going to grow to it’s former level jobs wise? Probably not. But this doom and gloom you’re preaching is too far the other extreme.

And requires mfg to stay offshore to continue to do so. You’re definitely on the wrong side of this policy push that’s for sure. But there was a demand and you filled it. But if I were in your shoes I’d probably feel the same way. Take care of the homefront and food on the family table first. That’s what I do.

Does he have to say something "smartass" to disagree with President Trump? I know you leftists do, because that is your style. But a supporter of President Trump can disagree with him without having to say something "smartass". The closest thing you leftists said bad about Your Savior was to say he wasn't left enough. Hardly a "smartass" comment
