Trade Rep. Greer: We Were Told Last Year and This Year That Tariffs Would Cause a Recession, We’re at a Net Positive for Manufacturing Jobs

EXCERPT:

GREER: "I mean, you know, we were told all last year and this year that tariffs were going to cause a recession and all these kinds of things. The reality is, real incomes for Americans have grown by $2,300 over the past year and a half. We’re in a manufacturing expansion and we have been for eight months. This year we’re at a net positive on manufacturing jobs of about 60,000. And global trade is fine, by the way. It’s still growing. We’re just making more of what we consume here in the U.S. and that’s the plan.”
