Sad story in today's news. Tariffs have already cost Ford $1Billion; layoffs are planned. Is a policy valid if it has to be subsidized like our farmers? Will the public also be asked to prop up the entire auto industry in this country? Shouldn't a valid policy stand on its own?

Ask Obama. He bailed out GM and Chrysler. Ooooops! That didn’t go the way you planned! :p

Then Ford should build their cars in America, not Mexico.
The American auto industry needs to understand and accept that their products have been and still are inferior to Japan’s, Germany, and Korea. They’re getting better but still lag behind in quality, looks, technology, and reliability. They deserve whatever happens to them. GM never should have been bailed out. The reward we got as taxpayers was SOS, and trying to bury the Cobalt safety problems that killed and injured many people. They and their cars suck

Here were the cars built in Mexico and sold in America in 2016 - a drop in the bucket.
  • Ford Fusion: 257,865.
  • ● RAM: 246,000. ...
  • ● Chevrolet Silverado: 222,000. ...
  • ● Nissan Sentra: 214,709
So you like cars built in Japan, Germany & Korea? Yeah, let's put a tariff on them - dumb!

You missed the point - bailing out farmers is socialism. Bailing out ANY of them is socialism. So with his tariffs, Trump is forcing us into socialism.
 








He’s not missing anything because you have no point. There is no connection between tariffs and socialism.

Baloney. The farmers are losing money due to the tariffs. Trump says he will correct that with GOVERNMENT subsidies - that means the government will take MY money and subsidize farmers because of HIS tariffs. That is socialism justified by tariffs. You lose.

Bingo ! :cool:

No fool. You lose because agricultural subsidies have been around long before Trump and his tariffs.

Yes. trump is bailing out farmers in his chosen red states to the tune of Billions!!!! We the taxpayers are paying for that!! Meanwhile industries not chosen by him suffer!! I call that socialism. Quite hypocritical of the so called a Republican Party. Used to be the party of personal responsibility so many of us have moved on! Just read article about female evangelicals in a Texas voting for Beto!! Even they have had enough of the hypocracy!! Maybe there is a god after all..

I’m afraid that you’re the hypocrite.

Trump is helping manufacturing workers in blue states just as much as he is the farmers in red states.

The fact that you are desperately avoiding the truth that Trump is winning the trade batttles that he has engaged. His tariffs are working.

And the overwhelming majority of evangelical women in TX will be voting for Cruz who holds a 12 point edge in polling over the Beta male who a few muddle headed “evangelical” women are stupid enough to support.
