re: #379 Backwoods_Sleuth

Even if this were true…solar panel, steel and aluminum tariffs are a horrible way to address this. All it does is raise the prices of inputs for much larger and important industries/industry segments which will cost far more jobs then what are generated. That’s before we end up with retaliatory tariffs on our goods. We get a few more domestic solar panel manufacturing jobs, while losing 10s of thousands of installation jobs. We get a few more aluminium and steal smelting/mining jobs but lose 10s of thousands of machining, automobile and other manufacturing jobs. It’s stupid.
