    Many of us are well aware it’ll raise the cost of goods, and not just imports. Any domestic competitors that don’t raise priced by say, 20% and 7%, is leaving money on the table and will get sued by their share holders.

    I’m not saying I like that fact, but it just is.

      How many consumer goods are even made in the US besides food? I know we do make some things, but 90% of the stuff at Walmart is imported crap.

      I use Walmart as the example since that’s where most of the GOP voter base lives and breathes.
