very simple reason that the economic policies have resulted in the biggest economic boom that we have seen in decades. it is a broad plan. we have a tax cut, the regulation going on. energy resources, and yet, we are dealing with unfair trading. we have the lowest tariffs in the world, the lowest nontariff barriers, and what do we get for? half of a trillion trade deficits, taking our jobs, putting them offshore, harming the workers of america. driving it down. sandra: you are hearing the auto manufacturers, boat manufacturers, people who use these commodities, they are saying this is going to raise our prices, and as a result, it is going to raise prices at the end of the dead to the consumer. it is going to hurt their industry. peter, i just want to get this out there. the editorial board does not like this. the market does not like it.
this weekend. every year, 38% of americans get on a boat. if you have got the money, well here s a $40 million super yacht. comes with its own helicopter. coming up after the break, i will tell you why boat manufacturers are so happy these days.
consumer confidence as far as the $35 billion a year nationwide boat economy is booming. it is hard to find a boat manufacturer or a distributor of boats or anything in the marine scene who is not happy right now, making money, expectation is high. florida has close to 200 boat manufacturers in the state. that is more than any other. now a deep impact, where they build three sizes of go fast boats. they tell me that orders right now can not be filled until well into next year. they are that backed up. demand is that good. and their boats are called go fast for a darn good reason. we went 72 miles an hour with them on biscayne bay which i highly recommend for anybody who has the opportunity. whole another thing, man. it is like business is booming now. you know the excitement s back. people are more confident about what is happening. two or three years ago it wasn t happening like that. people were not thinking about spending 250, 300, 400, 500
