Driving through downpour The Union County area experienced a rainy Wednesday on Sept. 19. Downpours caused street flooding in some locations. At around midday, the National Weather Service office in Paducah issued an urban and small stream flood advisory for Union County. A vehicle was seen making its way through water which was standing on part of old U.S. Route 51 in Cobden. Standing water often can be seen at the location when heavy rain falls.

For me that applies to looking in my refrigerator. The latest proposal by our president would place a $200 billion tax on imports from China. The Chinese response could take one of two paths, or a combination of both. The first would be to simply pass along this extra cost to U.S. consumers, which would immediately increase the cost of your next computer, TV or other electrical devices that depend on Chinese imports. The second path would be to place an equivalent tax on items imported into China. This would risk a significant drop of sales by U.S. firms and ultimately result in a drop in U.S. employment opportunities. Some will argue that if we tax the imports, we would simply shift to purchasing products of U.S. manufacture. While there would be some of this, history does show the likelihood of a net gain for U.S. consumers.
