TARIFF Remember that word? TARIFF shout it loud & proud TARIFF [View all]

Seriously-when did we forget every freeking thing about how markets work.

TARIFF

A Tax designed to equalize labor and other costs for trade purposes.

A simple idea & it works -see Germany and America in the 1950's for example.

The system is rigged now so greed is king & all other concerns be damned.

Untill we re-institute tariffs & demand strict buy American policies for ALL goverment purchases-we will never get out of the hole dug by the Republicans.

Long hard road-but till you realize what has to be done its kinda hard to get there.


And frankly this is where I jump up & down screaming-because there is a "debate" panel on "US Manufacturing & competitiveness" right now on C-span 2.

And I have never heard smart people say such stupid things!

Its simple dammit!

Tarrifs!!

If we don't make something & the US needs it-Build a friggin plant!-Period!.

And don't tell me protectionism is bad-It is GOOD!!!!

America needs to be working & we can do it better than anybody when the incentives are correct. The only incentive now is to claw over the other guy/girl for remaining crumbs. It shouldn't be like that.

This 70% service economy plan they put the USA on is laughable at best & should be exposed as the wealth sucking sponge it is.All the "entrapaneurship(buzz buzz)"in the world does no good when the society at large is held down to a service class.

The 70% needs to be actual production.As usual the Republians have managed to put the game on its head.

So-

Lets get this straight-

What does America need?

TARIFFS!

When do we need them?

NOW!!!

sing it loud-sing it proud.
