Chillicothe, Ohio — Republican J.D. Vance, running against Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) for Ohio’s open United States Senate seat, says the U.S. needs a “committed national policy of tariffs” to “rebuild the industrial heartland of America.”
Vance, whose best-selling memoir Hillbilly Elegy chronicled the deindustrialization of Middletown, Ohio, where he spent his childhood, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that a national industrial policy is vital to revitalizing what was once the heartbeat of American manufacturing.
The interview with Vance happened over lunch after one of Vance’s stops in Chillicothe — roughly 100 miles outside of Cincinnati — when he was making a swing through southeast Ohio

Tariffs are paid by the consumers who purchase items with a tariff. It a hidden indirect tax. Is this a good thing?! You decide.

"Tariffs are paid by the consumers who purchase items with a tariff." That's certainly what I was taught.
The question is, however, do we want certain critical activities/products independent of foreign country control (e.g., steel, fuel, medical supplies, certain manufacturing, etc.).

He’s talking about charging tariffs on foreign imports which would produce income and reinvestment in US companies resulting in more jobs since Americans could produce same products at competitive prices in the USA. Trump got this started, JD is proposing a policy encompass all aspects of US manufacturing not just steel aluminum etc. Include Autos, TVs, computers, phones, everything.

The Smoot Harley Tariff act of 1930 was key in prolonging the Great Depression and spreading it globally. Stupid idea to make tariffs a National policy.

Here’s the problem, folks, the left sees no problem with voter fraud in their favor. They are so sure that they are right they willl use any means to retain power. Because, of course, they are right. Morality, honesty means nothing to them because they feel they should rule by divine right. Nothing is beyond them in the lust to tell you how to act and think. They will cheat, lie, intimidate to get the results they want. Please vote and please stop these criminals from stealing elections.

Seems like after the two word blip about DeSantis, most comments are never Trumpers condemning everything President Trump did. Do we have a troll op going on or are the Never Trumpers coming out of the woodwork?

Tariffs are just like anything else in this world. They can be used for good are for bad.
Other commenters have stated the bad.
Tariffs can be used for national security to keep companies, (like far too many in the U.S.), from shipping crucial technology to somewhere else just for the almighty dollar.
They can also be used to help balance the scale between domestic companies and foreign countries that use slave labor.
Another very important thing they can be used for is to protect domestic businesses that have to try to make a living in spite of rules and regulations form an unhinged executive branch of government (EPA for example) from being undercut by companies in another (developing) nation where they do not have to deal with the immense costs of those same rules and regulations.

Talk like that could lose him an election. The simplest and best solution is to get China out of the picture and don't let the parasitic labor unions back in.

Works for me. And all the "no tariff" folks will be getting all bent out of shape. Sorry, but keeping people employed is ultimately more important than buying the cheapest Chinese junk.
Stow it.

What the U.S. needs is a political party that will reduce the size of government in DC. DC is spending the country into ruin, has gotten into wars we should never have been involved in, and is into every detail of everyone's lives. The anger of America is because nobody worries about their families or jobs, instead 100% focused on DC. We need to get back to work and our families, and DC needs to shrink by a lot.

To help businesses, get rid of a whole bunch of government regulations and slow the issuing of new ones by cutting the federal and state bureaucracies.
