From my view it's worth it solely for intellectual property. In my understanding shifting production back to the United States is fairly unrealistic. However in the face of enormous income inequality partly boosted by suppressed Chinese wages and resulting prices, it's worth a shot to bring back those jobs.

I agree caf. All the hand wringing about tariffs is a little tiresome. There’s a reason other countries do it to us and we did it to them in the past. We simply can’t afford to be totally altruistic in trade all the time. Something has to be done about China and nobody else seems to have any plan other then to let them keep taking us for all we’re worth. And I don’t think it plays badly politically at all. Trumps base is made up of probably the majority of people who’ve been complaining about cheap Chinese goods and the Chinese taking American jobs for years. People are happy to see a little push back even if it means higher prices

Just joined the #walkout of the House chamber to protest the shameful, politically-motivated GOP vote holding AG Holder in contempt

Perhaps slightly hypocritical? Never mind - forgot there “was not one whisper of a scandal” in Obama’s administration according to Biden.

How can the House accomplish any of the things you want when McConnell will just block it in the Senate?
...he went up late, and I was already up there.

Including our Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown. I'm actually not hearing too much squawk from the Dems about this- probably because they've been privately wishing for this for a while, but they're too chickensheet too do anything.
This is actually going to play well, and with the economy going good it's the best time to do it. Obama was too scared."I Got CHAMPIONS in that Lockerroom!" -Stanley Burrell
