He is encouraging American manufacturers to raise their prices because of artificial restraints on their competitors. And he is also discouraging the innovation needed to gain a competitive edge.  Instead of waiting out in efficiencies, American companies can simply absorb them by raising prices.


Yeah, but the money from the price increases will go to Americans. The number of Americans working will increase and so will demand. Naturally, that demand will increase prices, further. But, it’s all going to Americans, so it’s all just fine.   :grouphug:

I can agree that has potential to happen.

There are other things that can happen as well if someone does not address China's aggressiveness in financial, military and other foreign interference. 

You make this a solo issue for you to buy cheaply no matter what.  I see many things tied up here that have for too long been kicked down the road by others.

The money, paid by ME, will go to stagnant corporations that rely on government mandates to provide them more monopolistic pricing models.  The number of Americans will decrease, and so will demand.  Even a fifth grader can understand that.  Double the price of lemonade, and watch your sales go down.  And it is not all fine that my standard of living goes down because I am not a member of the protected class - fat-cat union members and their corporate conspirators.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."
