Totally agree. I've mentioned this somewhere, but insurance basically is dictating where I plan on moving. In Jefferson County, a lot of mainstream insurance companies have pulled out, so we have a smaller choice and of course, that means higher prices. 

Hardin county is out of the windstorm for the most part, and you have many more companies to shop, plus the risk is MUCH less for a hurricane damage.  It is still high, but almost 50% cheaper I believe.

That’s exactly what he’s asking, the problem is many Americans don’t want to sacrifice at all, everything should be instantaneous results.

You said it yourself, may take years, isn’t that worth it to balance trade and bring jobs back home?

Thats a strong expectation of the tax payer. Trust Trump? I understand the strategy but not sold on the end results. I’m not anti-Trump but we are to be patient for years while food costs are rising, health care costs are rising and our politicians are playing chess with Americans benefits. I think it highly probable we will never truly see the physical/financial results of tariffs All while we give billions to other countries, not to mention his family and other associates are making billions on bitcoin and other aspects of the “process.”

Have we been patient for years when it comes to the tariffs?

And my healthcare cost didn’t go up drastically until Obamacare was shoved down our throats.

We’re talking about tariffs, not problems that have been around much longer than Trump.

Excuse me, but where did Trump “fold”?  You people cry when tariffs are threatened, then you cry when he backs off. Y’all are keeping Kleenex in business for sure.
