Can Anyone Explain To Me What A Tariff Is And How It Helps Infant Industries Grow?

A tariff is a tax on imported goods. The idea is to promote or protect local industries.
Japanese car manufacturers are some cunning people. They decided to break into the American car market to get a piece of the huge market. Since the Japanese tend to think in the long term the Japanese Car companies decided to sell their cars at below their own cost. If they clobbered the American Car Companies then they could take over the market. Then they could charge more for their cars and rake in huge profits, not to mention the secondary markets from selling car parts.
To prevent this from happening the US Government instituted a tariff to protect the American Car companies. These weren’t infant industries, but it helped keep them in business.
Japanese steel is usually cheaper than American steel. If a new American steel plant tried to open up it would have to face all this competition. Since +50% of all American small business fail in the first year a tariff on steel could help that new Steel Plant.
The Chinese don’t want some American companies to get established in their country so they use high tariffs on American goods to keep the American companies out.
When one nation starts protecting its own industries with tariffs against another nation. The nation that is being victimized by those tariffs can get angry. That nation can decide to put their own tariffs on the first countries goods thus creating a tariff war. In revenge the first nation adds additional tariffs, which causes the victimized nation to add more tariffs and so on.
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAFTA
“North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a free trade agreement among Canada, the United States of America, and Mexico, based on the model of the European Communities (today: European Union). NAFTA went into effect on January 1, 1994.
Trade components
NAFTA called for immediately eliminating duties on half of all U.S. goods shipped to Mexico and Canada, and gradually phasing out other tariffs over a period of about 14 years. Restrictions were to be removed from many categories, including, but not limited to, motor vehicles and automotive parts, computers, textiles, and agriculture.”

Cheating Husband…or Contented One?

I never had sex with my husband before we were married, and a month after we were married I fell pregnant. I am 5 months along now, in a very high risk pregnancy, I am on strict bed rest and for safety reasons my doctor said we shouldn’t have intercourse the entire pregnancy,we wanted children but not so soon and we were using protection when I conceived. I am worried, about my husband, I feel like he didn’t sign on for this, and maybe he will look elsewhere, for sex, I hear all the time about men cheating. He says he loves me and wants me and our baby to be safe and if that means no sex for 9 months then he’s OK with it. At first we tried other ways, but I feel so fat and gross and icky, I just don’t feel sexy. I know you don’t know my husband, he’s a good man and I love him and he loves me, but even good men stray sometimes. What do you think are the chances that he may cheat on me out of sexual frustration?
I know this is a long question, I’ve tried to keep it concise.
Thank you and Happy Holidays
