hmmnn.. raising tariffs on imported chinese tires, is this supposed to be some kind of trick to help fix the economy by buying american tires?? does america even make tires???

Raising tariff on tires is just making us spend more money for tires. tariff on the tires is just have more things for the economy. the united states probably don't make tires. if the united states did make tires we be in good shape for our economy. The economy is getting better for us. using the chinese tires will just help us out. we can us all the tires that the chinese give us.

I don't know why u.s. don't want to make tires for our car, like u.s. are lazy on that.......what wrong with us.....!! T-T

they need to raise tariffs on importing tires that might help

Obama Administration wants to raise taxes in the future. And also raising taxes on tires makes the economy so much worse. How much does the Obama Administration think we can take..?

shawglenn4 said...

Raising the price on tires really makes no sense. I say this because tires are already expensive, plus I didnt even kno we imported tires from other countries. Out of all the stuff we import we put a tariff on tires...wow

s.parks5 said...

we should just use the chinese tires because raising the tariff on the tires would just make us spend more money that we don't have. That would just make life a lot simpler.

tsteele5 said...

I don't understand why they would want to raise taxes on imported chinese tires. Maybe if the U.S. wasn't so lazy like Lindsey said, then we wouldn't have to buy chinese tires!

M.Hackney5 said...

They say chinese all have some way in fixing things like tires but people say we americans make tires but we really dont i don think so? an raising tariffs is making us spend more money on the economy.

awilliams5 said...

I think that if the U.S would make tires that would mean more money in our pockets by not only ourselves but other countries.. I don't understand why we have to buy chinese tires and waste money.. We are in no shape to give money away right now.. whats the deal?

sbirchwell5 said...

i think that it would be a good idea to raise tariffs on import tires i like toyo tires but it would help out big time

tdodson5 said...

That would be very stupid of them to raise tariff on tires because, thats just going to make us pay more for tires. The economy is already in a recession and them raising tariffs is just going to make it worst.

MCisco5 said...

I think this might be a good thing. Cause even though it is spending a little bit more money we will be getting out money back in time. We just have to wait and see what happens with everything. Cause this may not seem like a good idea at first but I believe that it can help us in time like getting all our money back just very very slowly.

If the United States made tires they would be cheaper for americans and save everyone a little money. It would create more jobs and help all of us save money.

Adam™ said...

by putting a tariff on tires may help the economy but to me i think its just gonna make it worse. tires are a well used product and if they put a tariff on them its going to raise prices causing people to have less.

RHerrera5 said...

I agree with sean Kelsey tariff on tires are making us spend more money on tires. Why cant we just make tires i think it would be less expensive. if they put more tax on tires how are people who aren't wealthy and have no jobs gonna pay taxes when taxes become more expensive. If that happens i don't think the economy is ever gonna get fixed.

EnaRedzepagic said...

I just hope that the tariff has a good outcome because what Obama is doing with the tariff is the opposite of what he supports.

edwinb5 said...

If Obama wants to raise the tariff on tires, then people wont buy many of them. People have enough trouble with money that they dont want to spend a lot of money on something they need. Tires help people get to where they need to go and if they can't afford it, then they can't get to work and that will make them lose more money.

For me put some more tarriffs in tire don'd make sense they may up tarrikks on import that held and do they own tires don'd be that lazy.

I don't know why the US would want to raise tariff on imported tires from China.. I think that it will not help the Economy in any way.

AnthonyH said...

Im not sure if this was a good idea. on the up side, American tires are more likly to sell. on the down side were making china, one of our significant trade partners, very upset. I guess well have to see if that 35% is too much or not.

williamp said...

Raising tariffs could help the economy. It could eventually help us with owing china. By removing them late on

ChinaMARi3 said...

I think U.S. should make their own tires so they wouldn't even worry getting tires some where else. Plus they would make money off of that.

triley6 said...

Raising tariffs on tires can be more money to spend we don't need to spend a lot of money on tires.

tim honchul6 said...

Tarifs may or may not help. Sure, we might have to pay more for tires, but it might give more people jobs as well, giving an incentive for American companies to make more tires. These tariffs will also, hopefully, go to paying off money from the deficit. Hopefully this decision will turn out right.

hdornon7 said...

President Barack Obama has raised tariffs on imported Chinese tires, in an attempt to stimulate the American economy. China and eventually other countries will doubtless be upset with this change. However, if the US economy completely dies, the other countries would be in worse trouble. So in the end, I think this will all work out.

Roof1619 said...

This decision will hopefully help the U.S. Raising the tariffs on imported tires from China could help give us jobs and help with our recession. But on the otherhand why do we have to get them from China?

eholbrook2426 said...

The problem about raising tariffs on tires is just making us spend more money. Tires are already expensive, especially when you drive the REAL BIG trucks. People are already trying to accomidate their lifes with the recession going on and raising the prices on tires is just another problem Americans will have to deal with.

kward4 said...

Americans really don need tires from china cause we do make our own products one but it would be good to import tires from china cause we need them an do china even got cars??

jstreeter7 said...

I don't think that we should put tarrifs on tires because tires already exspensive. At the rate there going at now and this will just be exspensive, but the goverment know what their doing cause they know goog and well. People are going to pay more for tires when they need them for their cars!

nsetters said...

In a way i think raising the tariffs on imported tires from china would be a good thing for the American economy. It would force people to buy American made tires, which in a way would bring back jobs to our shores. By decreasing unemployment rate would bring money back to economy.

cwilsonpd4 said...

Raising the tariffs on the imported tires from China could be a good thing. It would help the economy by making people buy tires that are American, which in return it helps our economy. It could create jobs as well, and it could be put back into the economy.

I think that he is doing the right thing by making it higher for chain. Because we need more money.

DustinX4 said...

I feel we need to make tariffs on chinese tires so that our tire companies can get more money which will help out the cause of our unemployment. It would take time but it will help us.

TWalters5 said...

i think raising the tariffs would be good because people will by more american tires and help the economy a bit.

K.Buckner6 said...

I think raising the tariff on tires is just plain dumb. that means we have to pay more money for tires. we already spend way to much for tires as it is. this is hurting our economy even more.

Anonymous said...

It could be a good idea to raise tariffs, it could ensure american tire companies of not being ran over by the chinese. But it could make some people upset and if we proceed with decisions such as these it could be bad. The last people we wanna excommunicate with is China.

Akimbrough said...

Raising tariffs on tires are raising tire prices The United States probably don't make these tires so its hurting us badly. We already are in debt thats the last thing we need.

CRice7 said...

Raising tariffs on imported products will make people buy less of them. That means more people will buy american tires. Yes there are american made tires. If there wasn't any, then we can start making some increasing jobs and our economy.

Anonymous said...

the tariffs on the tires is a problem for the consumer because they will have to spend more money on tires for their cars but the government is going to worry about that because they know that people will still be buying tires for their cars.

Jordan Groh said...

I think that raising the tariffs on Chinese tires is a good idea. Raising the cost wI'll make people more likely to buy tires made in the united states. I think that it is a smarter to buy products made in the us. I don't think that it will really matter that much if someone wants Chinese tires so bad they can pay more

k.j.dennis.7 said...

Obama has decided to raise tariffs on tires imported from china in order to raise the American economy. By putting tariffs on tires, causing the price to raise, more Americans will buy American made tires. The tariff is a way to stimulate the economy and get us back on our feet.

NBogard said...

Well all we seem to buy lately is imported goods so they are raising the tariffs on imported tires. This is in the hopes that we'll end up buying more american made goods like tires instead of trusting on the cheap imported ones that the chinese keep giving us.

Whitney Patrick said...

Raising the tariffs on tires would be a horrible idea. The economy is already sucky and were now were going to do that. Just go ahead and have them imported from China like every other item in the U.S.

a.nichole2010 said...

I feel that raising tariffs on imports is just going to make it harder on us to fix our cars. If we actually made tires our economy would be in better shape but we dont and we have to spend money on forign tires.

tim honchul6 said...

tariffs are bad because they can get in the way of people and thier jobs

Raising tariff on tires is just making us spend more money on tires
