| Survey Says!
In last week's CyberPoll, we focused on President Obama's decision to add tariffs for some Chinese tire imports over the next three years. Participants' opinions were split evenly at 50% for and 50% against the idea. People who think the tariffs are a good idea said: "Trade needs regulated." And: "As mfg base declines, we have to do something to keep jobs here. I am in more favor of reducing taxes to attract investment." Respondents who do not think the tariffs are a good idea were a bit more vocal. Their comments included:
"Just kicks off a trade war. Do it through quality checks, or by prohibiting products made with dirty processes. At least then if they retaliate in kind, we all win by getting a cleaner planet." And: "I think it is only payback for union support, not a real trade violation." And: "Trade protectionism will reduce U.S. exports more than reduce imports. Net loss of jobs and higher prices on average to consumers."
