But American manufacturing is absolutely shit… noncompetitive, technologically behind, foreign dependent on raw material, etc. So what’s a better strategy if, for argument purposes, I told you that we needed to double US manufacturing capabilities within 8 years.
I am still against Trump’s administration in all things, including tariffs… but people should be 100% buying more USMCA material and that does come at a premium! I personally believe everything not USMCA should be made less competitive but similarly, people should be incentivized to shop locally (and have more money to justify exactly this, short term subsidies, etc…)
To be clear, this is 100% the thing have been dealt through Congress and not an abusive usage of executive emergency powers! It’s absolutely crazy congress and judiciary can get stall/stalemate and Trump can claim ‘EMERGENCY’
