Do ya think that the “fed” raising interest rates could “also” play into this? Or...are we just gonna “bash” the tariffs? It seems that the majority of fault finding points at the tariffs. I may be wrong....but I think the tariffs, are ultimately a good thing. They may cause discomfort at first.....but will help long term!
I felt the same way. Give it a chance and see what happens. The idea was suppose to be a way to grow manufacturing here, but that's not whats happening. When China raised the price of aluminum 35%, Alcoa raised their price 35%(where's the patriotism ?). All it does it raise prices for everybody. I just read in motor magazine that all these tariffs on thousands of auto parts are about to happen. This will have to affect RV prices as well. The guy I buy vacuums from just received a letter that prices for all vacuums will go up 35%. There are only two makers of American vacuums left, and one is half foreign owned. Those two will probably hike their prices 35% also. There are no winners in this trade war. The farmers had to be bailed out immediately. I'm not even going to start on the budget deficit which is eventually going to kill us all; that is if you have any net worth.
