Foreign firms dumping products onto US market

Unread postby oasisrob22 » Mon 27 Mar 2006, 21:18:08

I am sitting here trying to think of any pros for this subject. I know one is that it keeps inflation down with the low prices, increases competition, and allows lower-income families to buy foreign products at lower prices. Any thoughts?

By dumping I presume you are restricting the term to mean selling at less than cost price?

Merely selling cheaper than the US can make does not automatically make it dumping.

Note also that the US merrily subsidises agriculture and exports food so what's the difference?*
