increases (due to "made in the US") - certainly I wouldn't expect a price reduction (if production costs decreased)....however that move could lead to level (or lower increases in) pricing.

My question was "are you willing to pay $500" - I could have easily asked "how much additional are you willing to pay?".... A $500 price differential isn't that great on a large unit (furnace/ac/heat pump).

Do you think this (government intervention) can/will lead to increased prices for consumers? Nobody is opposed to saving US jobs - it's just not very "republicanistic" of y'all to advocate such government action (at the expense of a business making executive decisions.)

I didn't call people "tards" - only you; you have a habit of calling me names.
