It's not regulation and big government, it's low tariffs. You could make the tax rate 0, and remove every single regulation, and it would still be cheaper to produce them there due to the difference in wages and standard of living. Free trade with other countries is destroying ours, we need tariffs that at least balance out the trade deficit. If you want to compete with Mexico, you'll have to make Mexican wages.
I don't even know if the tariffs work as intended. Lumber in my area is at an all time high because of the tariffs on canadian lumber. The lumber from idaho and oregon is just as expensive as the canadian stuff as if they simply raised their price to make more profit rather than letting the tariff work. Just my limited perspective. Could be wrong.
That's actually working as intended. So, the free marketers are right in that tariffs do raise prices. However, what they miss is that wages go up as well (though it gets complicated when it's tariffs on one item, versus a blanket tariff). There is a non-linear relationship where wages rise faster than the price increase, until an inflection point is hit, and then the price increases faster than wages. You want to have tariffs all until you hit that balance in the middle. In addition, even though prices rise, the money itself stays in the US. When it's sent over seas, it never comes back, so we're essentially trading an appreciating asset (wealth) for a depreciating asset (a good). It is one of those all or nothing things though, you need a baseline of tariffs on everything for it to work well, otherwise money will just flow out via other goods and wages won't rise at all (but things will get more expensive).
He called in all the big corporations and gave them the go-ahead from the banker backers to start slashing jobs. My father's was amongst them. It also killed another industry and left a whole graduating section of the economy without jobs.
mother fucker I just got one too. Glad I got one while it was still made in the USA but I guarantee it will go the way of the Silverado... slapped together rust buckets where something fails every month, from fuel pumps to wheel bearings in my experience...
Heard Toyota is planning to move Tacoma production from San Antonio, TX to Mexico.
Can you blame them? It's regulations and big government killing industry in our country.
Obama was able to confidently say "those jobs aren't coming back" because they have no plans to lift their boot off the neck of productive people.
Productive people can't breathe.
Taxed to death.
Note that the first police victim associated with the "I can't breathe" meme is Eric Garner.
He was assaulted by police for the crime of selling untaxed cigarettes from out of state.
Literally taxed to death.

Keeps americans working.
Yes, I can blame them.
Why do you want them to pay more money to Biden's government?
You're a moron.

Nope, don’t blame them. They are a company trying to make money and Biden and the swamp just want to kill American jobs.

What a shame, Tacomas are such a robust and reliable truck. Now we'll start seeing a lot of new "issues" with these new Mexican made trucks.
Yeah, heard VW’s went to shit when they moved production from Germany to Mexico.
That was decided under Trump. Sequoia and Tundra are going to be built in San Antonio.
