bump So is this still accurate? The 440 source website doesn't indicate that there are any pending price increases. Enquiring minds want to know...

NOT to talk politics but our leader is saying he will jack up tariffs on imported cars AND parts as he heads into upcoming G20 talks--so if that happens and he is not just saying it to gain leverage--well then everything we use from rotor for your kids Honda to H beam rods etc pretty much everything in YearOne catalog--all repro parts , sheet metal etc would get hit
And as we know prices NEVER go back down so........

Hold on Boys............

The image some have of him "winning" a trade war and getting prices lower is a silly dream

It's sad that Americans are so ignorant of tariffs.

What is really sad is not one of our past leaders or politician have done anything to help our country combat foreign tariffs against our goods in the past, hopefully we, all of us U.S. citizens, will come out the better for Trumps efforts luck

Typically, Tariffs are nothing more than a tax passed on to the end user.

You can absorb it, or so I've been told. LOL

Enjoy!!!

I'm going to avoid the political [censored] 'cause a don't have enough zeros in my paycheck to mean anything, other than my vote. Brandon came here and threw out a number, but it looks more like a spitball than a quote. I'm not ready to pull the trigger on a stroker kit. With a 25% increase I may just get some new slugs to go with an old "451" crank and manley rods that I was thinking about selling. The extra cubes would be fun, but nothing says I have the right to 512 cubes and I've got other things to do with my income.

That's right, and the Chinese (and everyone else) is using tariffs to make the US citizen pay for their standard of living.

If tariffs didn't work, the Chinese and every other parasite nation wouldn't care if we raised them.

The tariff can also be used to FORCE worthless corporations (not an American thing by any stretch, although he neo cons love to tell everyone the corporation is a great thing...it isn't) to build the infrastructure here rather than overseas.

Again, the ignorance of the population about tariffs and their uses is criminal.

You can use the tariff to benefit your nation, or you can use them like we do to make other nations wealthy off the backs of US labor.


Cheap import car [censored] is a sad song to sing for long term prosperity.

I'm sure China thanks all of you who want cheap junk [censored] for building their nation for them.

Fools
