        The US should conserve what forests we have left. Give them a chance to grow back. Canada has an abundance. Trees help get rid of Co2

        I agree whatever happens should be sustainable. I think the answer lies in the middle. More comp from 🇺🇸 wood may lower costs from 🇨🇦

        Wouldn't it have made more sense to invest in soft wood farms first, then add tariffs as needed? Wouldn't that have created farming jobs?

        Please do these things swiftly & accurately if they must be done, but with no motive of protectionism. It's global economy & US doing well.

        I get this, but don't at the same time argue against a corporate income tax cut as the the effect is the same to the consumer.

        Corporate income tax is a tariff on domestic production, whereas the lumber tariff is a tax on foreign production. Not the same animal IMHO.

        The current system discourages consumption of domestic production while encouraging consumption of imports. That's a perverse distortion IMO

        The same can be said for water subsidies. It discourages production in the water surplus east, while supporting it in the water short west.

        But that subsidy actually makes sense. The current corporate tax system is more like if they subsidized water in the east but not the west.

        This is a flawed premise as labour is usually the most expensive portion of a home's cost.

        Any of price increase of inputs will raise the cost of the entire system. Builders will not absorb that cost -- consumers will eat it.

        The point is you can't blame the cost of a product solely on the cost of input. The mark-up & labour can be controlled for affordability.
