Your whole post, but steer away.
So you were also against the bailouts of the banks, GM, Chrysler, AiG, Fanniemae and Freddiemsac and shovel ready projects.....
What?
In my original post, I discussed the tariffs the EC was threatening to place on H-D and how it would affect them.
For one example, Harley-Davidson produces 230,000 bikes per year. 1/5 of them are shipped to Europe and Japan. After Trump's tariff announcement, the European Commission plans to impose tariffs on American-made goods, including a 25% tariff on motorcycles. So, Harley not only will pay more for their steel/aluminum to build bikes, but will be hit with a tariff on bikes sent to Europe. How does that help the more than 500 people that work for Harley?
f you care to read that story you'll see that Harley is planning to build a factory in India to to tariffs on their bikes there. Harley scaled back production in the US to open a plant there. Same thing in Thailand. How did those tariffs help America?

You came along and asked an open-ended question with no bearing on what was being discussed because you wanted to discredit something, anything, in my post. Regardless if it even applies to the topic at hand.
Is this the same Harley Davidson that was going out of business until the USA put tariffs on Japanese bikes......tell me more
Yes. I'm not aware of another Harley-Davidson, but you felt the need to ask the question anyway with the "tell me more" added on for humor.
Then, when told more about it as requested, you said:
...but the truth is, without the tariffs, they would of gone bankrupt. The tariffs gave them the breathing room they needed.
So your comment is BS unless you can prove it without some left anti-Reagan article.
...and what did Reagan’s tariffs have to do with Harley’s earning after 2000.....genius
What else is there to prove? As you can understand, your lack of being able to follow along is forcing you to come up with statements that don't have no bearing on reality.
Now, if you want to read through all that and show me what is BS about the fact that the EC is proposing a tariff (truth), or what's BS about paying more for goods (truth), or what's BS about anything else I've said, come out with it. Until then, you can continue to blather on about nothing in particular just to argue.
And yes, I was against those as well. "Too big to fail", Solyndra, Ex-Im bank, GM, everything. I personally don't believe the government should be in the business of picking and choosing "winners". I'm apparently alone in this on a forum full of so-called "conservatives".
Your link specifically stated they still need to continue to mine for materials in other countries. Maybe you think your point was confirmed, but maybe you don't quite understand. Could also be why you're discussing Harley and Apple instead of the steel/aluminum tariff at hand.
