The US is incapable of producing enough lumber to meet our needs.  If we tried, we'd destroy our forests at a rate that we could not rebuild.  We'd fail because that rate would not be sustainable.  We'd meet our needs for a few years ... but then ... we'd be screwed.  There is a massive amount of information surrounding how these tariffs impact us.  You can't know it all.  However, there are plenty of economists that have the tools to tell us more than we can possibly know on our own.  When you go to the ones without a reason for bias (so not a mouthpiece for Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, etc... for example, international coverage), you get a VERY grim picture.  God I wish we still had real, unbiased, Walter Cronkite style news in the US.</blockquote>
