my point in my reply , that was questioned by a few ...In toms thread , if it is accurate , he states that to minimize the total impact the 25% tariff would have on some businesses cost ( not RD ) , they have moved there fastener and similar purchases to American made products , the net cost increase is a substantial percent lower than 25% tariff.....suppliers buying domestic as opposed to off shore.....Tariff is working ..to some degree...

It seems like the real issue here is China dumping cheap, inferior, and below cost steel in North America in hopes of cornering and/or commanding the market.
I still bristle at the thought of the shitshow San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge. I'm not being political, BOTH political parties had a hand in many BAD decisions in this case. http://www.americanmanufacturing.org/blog/...s-to-fall-apart |

Failures happen...usually because corners are cut by the politicians. It is always about money and yes......I know what I talking about. |

You guys may not realize it but RD also sells BMW parts - from Germany. They don't make them in house.
And, yeah, a 25% tariff on a $666 rear trunk pan for my 2002 kinda sucks. And it sucks even more that the manufacture (W&N in Germany) is out of stock till summer. GRUMBLE. Zach |
