@pbsnews: The benefits and financial toll of rebuilding America’s aluminum industry The central economic focus of President Trump's second term so far has been tariffs. Over the past few months, the president has levied - and also paused - taxes on imports from all over the world. Some have taken effect, including his tariffs on aluminum. Economics correspondent Paul Solman looks at those and what kind of impact they may have on manufacturers, workers and consumers. #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #aluminum #economics #tariffs #donaldtrump #economy #finance #manufacturing#trumpadministration #trumppolicies #news #manufacturers
I’m always amazed that the comparison between the US & somewhere like China never brings up the existing safety net of healthcare that they have and we don’t. We will never be able to pay what they do

The oligarchs did this too us. When unionization became "bad" outsourcing manufacturing became common place. The steps 47 is taking is not helping America.

Blame china when the US companies are the ones that moved them off shore. Riiiigggghht. If they wanted to keep it here, the tariffs would have been here decades ago.

if we mandated all the aluminum production to be domestic, we would still import bauxite, which america has nowhere near enough domestically, thus still leaving us dependent on foreign sources.

But Republicans aren’t “investing in the grid”. That’s THE problem. They just steal it for themselves.

If the US gives out subsidies then it wouldn’t be a level playing field 🙄

“Unfair trade practices like govt subsidies”. How is China bolstering and protecting their industries, unfair? They’re looking out for themselves & their own people, that’s every government‘s job.

Manufacturing didn't "leave". They CHOSE to produce in other countries where they could exploit ppl instead of paying Americans decent wages.

This whole thing needed much more thought and consideration then the Heritage Foundation put into it. (I'm not even crediting him, at this point he's just a puppet.)
