What will happen if we do get in a big trade war with China?

Walmart's going to be rather sparce pickings I'd think.
At least until we get domestic sources for stuff again. Probably not a bad idea. Stuffs going to be really expensive but it probably will last longer.

Problem is it's more expensive buying anything American made than it is to buy Chinese made. For now at least !
Same with Indian or Taiwanese produced goods.

That means fewer folk buy American. No jobs created (quite possibly lost if U.S.sales dip far enough !)
That sends America into recession which in turn affects the rest of the world since so many economies are aligned with America's.

@Picklebobble2 buying stuff made by slaves or people working for slave wages is not right either. I'd say get used to having to make stuff locally and quit shipping stuff from overseas. Shutting down corporate farms would be good too.

@Tastyfrzz All excellent suggestions. All 20 years too late !
If China starts producing an equivalent Ford-F truck at a fraction of the U.S. retail price....
