Since early last year, lumber costs have shot up by more than 60 percent. That's added almost $9,000 to the price of an average new home, according to the National Association of Home Builders.


No one will notice any price increases said Trump..

They still have lumber.

Decidedly little lumber in a trailer.

But, it isn't just lumber going up. Concrete, roofing materials, flooring materials, hardware, it's all going up.

But hey, he's creating more jobs than ever before. Tons of people work at Walmart now.

They are actually mostly wood framing and floors, but I agree it's going to be way more than just $9k added to lumber..

Cars, machinery, aluminum framed windows, beer cans, boats, kitchen appliances, TVs and thousands of other items have all risen in the past 3 months .

MAGA (for illegal tubes)

[beerptrol]

I'm sure if you write and ask Chump nicely, that he will give you some pointers on how to use illegals and stiff contractors in order to mitigate the rise in cost of lumber

The key word here is IMPORTED.

The leftists are bitching about the president wanting to support American businesses and workers. Buy American or move to Venezuela, libtards

Originally I'm from New Zealand, its a small country around 4 million, they have a FREE trade agreement with China. Since signing, trade has quadrupled with China! Yet NZ still runs a trade surplus with China, we sell them 15 billion they sell us 12 billion.. with a free trade deal in place.

According to the American way we should be a country built in plastic.. but its not, .. trade surplus.

To make that happen as few things were required, first the Government and leader did a huge push with the slogan " Buy New Zealand Made", they promote a sense of pride in using locally made products. And secondly they try and make products that China actually wants, and what they pay top dollar for, environmentally friendly and natural products.

If the best the almighty America can come up with is.. Soybeans and only can stop the public from buying Chinese products is by raising prices, then the problem is not the Chinese, or your trade deals... Its Americans!.

To me, Trump was actually the guy to fix that, if every time he opened his mouth he said.. " Buy American, Hire American " and then focused attention on industry to make products China wants, and can't produce themselves. but he doesn't, its usually " But Hillary" or " But Obama " or "No Collusion"

Chinese like one thing.. money, wages in China have risen over 4000% in the past 10 years. If you want manual intensive products made on cheap labour, you don't go to China anymore but countries like Sri Lanka or India. Any trade imbalance with China will naturally diminish, if the public " Buy American, Hire American" and the now famous " We're making Coal great again "

A tariff is just a hidden tax that you the consumer pays, Trump didn't lower your taxes, he INCREASED them on the poor and middle class to give the rich a break, and to enable that... he borrows more money from CHINA, while investing in businesses that produce products.. that China has or can make themselves.

Its not really a success plan is it ;) and in reality is a total slap in the face for the American public

I read the only thing Venezuela makes is poverty

china does not want to import anything from the US except raw materials to make things to send back to the US.. thats why we have the huge deficit

[BaldBastard]

Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, Australia, Malaysia, Brazil, South Africa, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Chili, Iraq, Kuwait, New Zealand, Peru, Venezuela


They all have trade surpluses with China..

Very interesting comments really.

A huge part of the problem is Americans do not buy American. Most of claim we do - myself included - but the reality of is all is we do not stop and ask where something is made before we purchase it. I purchased a t-shirt at Target tonight, but truthfully I did not even bother to look at the label.

The other part of the problem is Trump is not the solution. Oh, he will say "buy American" and also "hire American" but then he turns around and does the direct opposite. The majority of employees at his resort in Florida are foreigners here on a Visa. Everything from his ties to the furniture in his hotels are made in Florida. His children are no better; Ivanka's entire line of crap was made in China.

[King Mark]

Florida...?

Pretty much. If 9k extra is going to break the bank you shouldn’t be buying a house.

^^ Posts rant about Trump and the cost of lumber. Forgets to mention that it's imported lumber. Calls people retarded for supporting American businesses & workers.

Clearly I'm not the mentally challenged person here

It's a legal industry, whether you like it or not. But don't worry Crockett, we finally have a president who has the balls to tell Congress to do the right thing.

Legislation legalizing hemp included in Senate farm bill

Potential of Industrial Hemp to Displace Fiber from Forests

"Hemp can make a stronger composite construction product than wood, allowing the use of less material for a given application. Hemp "chips" can be directly substituted for wood chips in oriented strand board, particle board and other panel products. "

So Crockett- Obama had 8 years to get it legalized. Why didn't he?
