If there is a single market commercial entity in USA most responsible for Chinese economic success and the outsourcing of America it is WALMART.

Sam Walton was originally always about buying and selling made in USA. The surviving Walton family changed that buy America to buy China. Hopefully tariffs will reverse this destructive Walmart etc commercial policy of buying from cheapest source instead of long term strategy of buying USA.

"Hopefully tariffs will reverse this destructive Walmart etc commercial policy of buying from cheapest source instead of long term strategy of buying USA."

Nixon opened trade with China roughly fifty years ago.

How long do you think it will take to undo something that's been built up over fifty years?

If you think Trump can undo that in just four years with tariffs, tariffs he's already flip flopped on, well, you're a dummy.

You need a real strategy. Trump is not a strategic thinker.

They'll pass along the tariffs plus a markup on the tariffs because ---- you.

At least Trump is trying to create some potential long term benefits to equalize our massive growing trade deficit and transfer of jobs that both parties have spent decades doing nothing to correct or reverse.

You fall for the same con every time, Robson.
You are why Trump loves the poorly educated.

It's so funny watching you guys turn into 2000's liberals who think they're coming up with stuff that's novel.

For the entirety of my adult life, anybody who suggested such a thing was derided as a commie pinko soshulizt anti-American filth.

I know you're refuse to believe it, but there have been people pointing out this inevitable outcome for about 30 years. Probably longer. That's just as long as I could see this inevitable outcome.

And it was blasted as anti-capitalist and a staunch HELL NO from the right to try to enact policy that stifled that outflow of jobs even a little.

"equalize our massive growing trade deficit and transfer of jobs that both parties have spent decades doing nothing to correct or reverse."

The problem here is we don't just sell trade. We also sell services. On services, we are a net exporter.
The thing to do is not to grow the trade economy, other than high tech.
Those are ------ jobs you wouldn't want to do, assuming you ever wanted to work, which is doubtful.

The thing to do is to grow the service economy.
Republicans who never worked in service jobs just don't get it:
You make more money selling services than you do selling goods.

Great. Given that, I am sure you supported implementing these exact measures 30 years ago. Why are you now against them? It is you that has changed - not the idea.

Here come Squats licking Fat Donnie Loser's ta..int again. That ------- idiot can't do anything but lie.

These exact measures? No. I'm not an idiot. I was smart enough to see the consequences of that stupidity and realize it should be squelched early.

You went along and only now act like a little b*&^% because you're finally feeling the pain.

The rest of your post depends entirely on your poor self-serving, ignorant assumption and, therefore, isn't worthy of a response.

What do you want to bet they will raise prices across the board... including domestic products?

#14 | Posted by RightisTrite at 2025-05-16 02:43 AM

raise prices across the board... including domestic products?

Does Wal*Mart sell anything made domestically? Other than produce and the like?

#15 | Posted by REDIAL at 2025-05-16 02:59 AM

LOL, it's already been several weeks since we first heard this from the left.

#16 | Posted by fishpaw at 2025-05-16 12:47 PM

This isn't about "the left" saying anything, dips*&^, this is about WalMart saying it.

#17 | Posted by jpw at 2025-05-16 04:13 PM

Except they've already said they're not but the PMSNBC crowd needs an anti Trump headline

#18 | Posted by THEBULL at 2025-05-16 07:33 PM

@#18 ... Except they've already said they're not but the PMSNBC crowd needs an anti Trump headline ...

WalMart is anti-Trump?

Got any evidence?

"Except they've already said they're not"

Read the effing article.

As of yesterday, they said they ARE.

That's not the usual Robson. Whole different language pattern.

Can you do me a fave and explain why it is my best interest to pay more for something? And why I should care about a trade deficit?
