| Anonymous Coward User ID: 10485453 United States06/12/2019 04:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I keep a close eye on the Chinese bike parts at Walmart. Everything has stayed the same except for brake pads. They went up 30 cents. Currently I'm looking at Rocky boots and what I want I can get for under $100 on sale. 8" high, full grain leather and 600 grams of Thinsulate. And thats one heck of a deal. Tariffs? do they even exist? |

There is nothing essential from commie China that America cannot quickly replace by themselves or by non-commie allies like South Korea, and there is so much crap sitting around in warehouses to last America for years, although it would only take us as little as a month to ramp up production of essentials.

And now we have price data from May that once again indicate no tariff pricing pressure on consumers. Quoting: Weyoun ... Durable goods, products purchased by consumers and businesses that are expected to last three-years or more, are a good place to look for signs of tariff-led inflation. The producer-price data shows that prices of raw materials used in durable goods manufacturing fell 0.4 percent in April, the second consecutive monthly decline, and are down 0.9 percent from last year. Components for durable goods, the prices of parts that go into durables, were up just 0.1 percent in May and are up 1.6 percent from a year ago. The nondurable goods category is where we might see signs of the China tariffs. Materials prices here rose 0.8 percent in May, a reversal of two months of decline in April and March.

And some of the parts sourced from China are being passed on to us and in turn is costing more. Even metal sourced in the us has gone up because the know they can get it, which is fine.

Quoting: Russian hacker The price increases are aligned with overall inflation and not a special tariff-caused case, from the article: "Let’s look at some heavy duty steel and aluminum products. Aircraft prices rose 0.1 in May and are up 2.0 percent from a year ago. That’s the highest annual price hike on the list so far but it is less than the overall rise in producer prices, indicating that this is not a tariff-led price hike. It’s also very close to the Federal Reserve’s target of 2 percent inflation." "Prices of steel mill products, which are an intermediate good used to produce consumer goods, fell 0.6 percent in May. Prices for steel mill products also fell 1.7 percent in April, held flat in March, and fell 3.2 percent in January. On an annual basis, which now means comparing prices of products immediately after the steel tariffs and more than a year after they were imposed, prices are up just 1.1 percent. A month ago, steel mill prices were still showing a steep 5.8 percent increase on an annual basis. In February, prices were up 12.6 percent compared with the year prior and in October they were up 18.6 percent. In other words, the tariffs are not inflationary in the ordinary sense of the word. They resulted in higher intermediate prices paid by businesses but did not create ongoing price pressure." |

| SoberLife User ID: 77257527 United States06/12/2019 07:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I work in the cabinet industry and I have received a 3% price increase across the board for Chinese goods. This makes Chinese cabinets the SAME price as American made entry level cabinets. The solution is simple, when consumers are presented with the option, they'll choose American made every time as long as they're the same price. That being said, I have everyone minimal price increase on the American made products, even though the birch plywood used for the assembly of the cabinet boxes is imported from China. The price increases I have received on American items are based on time cycles, not tariffs. |

A national sales tax i what this is. Soon it will hit us hard and interest rates will have to go up to absorb the inflation, which will cause foreclosures and a greater recession.
