Given those of us on fixed incomes are aleady hard pressed now. Imagine 60% added to the acknowledged CCP made goods that made up near 70+% of consumed items in the USA.. eg. Medications.

How about lower Taxes for US makers and a Balanced budget that repays the national debt in 25 years?

I acknowledge it was extremely wishful.
But in my defense, it was before I had my 2nd cup of coffee.

NOTE: NAFTA was created to boost South America's economy and increase employment there. The CCP & other nations all abuse the Congressionally planted loop holes to bring in stuff and bypass taxes.

What if Congress closed the loop holes? Would it reduce the number of ILLEGALS flooding in maybe as originally promised?

#4 ^I was kidding. Anyway, if he raises tariffs on China, it's just an opportunity for Asian tigers.

#5 China is already in a pretty hard recession with and estimated 40-50% youth unemployment rate. A tariff like that, while it would hurt us, would be the bullet in the back of China's economy.

#8 Since we are getting all wishful, I would like to see the next container of mail from China opened and every package examined.

#10 That is just Trump's opening bid for negotiating deal that he wants. A 60% tariff would a fatal blow to China's economy and is guaranteed to get their attention.
