Anyway to set a reminder, to review this comment in 6 months?
This is great. Isolationism and protectionism have always worked in the past.
Have we ever used tariffs to punish anything other than economic behavior?
Good question. I can't think of any examples. Other than to point out that in the first half of our history, tariffs didn't punish anything; they were just one of the normal ways of raising revenue.
TBH, I am kind of tired of all those Canadians coming down here.
Well, yeah, when the worst drivers on interstates all seem to have Ontario license plates. Damn hosers.
So the Ds had to go because of inflation on their watch. But LFG!!! for Trumps tariffs. Can anyone explain this to me?
Inflation is dead. Long live inflation.
Damn straight. I'm really tired of Ryan Reynolds and his stupid Mint Mobile commercials. Seth Rogen can go f*** off.
Keanu can stay.
I didn’t say they did, but the effect of raising the price of certain goods will feel the same for American consumers.
She’ll fly ‘em over the border and they can parachute in.
Or maybe they’ll use trebuchets.
So, you were OK with the D inflation, but are questioning a more level playing field is worse, somehow? I get the slight feeling that there is some irony in your question. Or are you using Nuance? Or are you using bullshit? All are possible and understandable, but I would just like to narrow it down.
Added question. Are you OK with China and the EU placing, as high as 100% tariff's on our products? Thank you and we look forward to your comments.
He's a lawyer, not an economist or observer of anything other than what's fed to him by Democrat talking points.
Keep that in mind.
True. Prices rising for this or that good isn’t necessarily due to currency dilution. But the effect is similar, if isolated. And, of course, what secondary effects come from that will hinge on the magnitude of the tariff.
Either way, it’s bad public policy…even if the motivation is less about trade protectionism and more about leverage against another country for unrelated policy changes.
WAIT... did karlmala biden shut off the crossco app? Did the Cartel's agree to this with the swamp? If so, what are they getting in return for their lost revenue? Wasn't this simply "impossible, my hands are tied" just a few short years ago? Since we can't put D's in jail, when do they go infront of our new judicial system setup outside of the swamp international cabal?
I'll wait for answerS ! !
My wife does all the grocery shopping and is an inveterate label reader. You would be shocked to know just how much of the food sold at WalMart is labeled "Product of Canada," among other places. And not just packaged stuff either, I'm talking fresh vegetables and breads and bakery items. Tack on 25% or more and tell me what kind of reaction you get from the working class family trying to make ends meet.
It's almost like they've created AI power point presenter BOT's, right in front of our eyes. One world order, or else damn it ! Resistance is....... taking everything back and the bot's will be "unplugged". Johnny 5 is, over.
Sadly, I am afraid the pain will need to be much worse for us, before we stuff this genie back in the bottle. But if we do it, one piece at a time, an arm on main street here, a leg on a street sign there.......... We may shut it down. eventually. I hope they can hear us now.
You don’t make your own bread? You don’t buy vegetables in quantity at the local farmers market and can them for use over the winter?
These things surprise me
In my previous employment, I worked with many Chinese. They all know, getting a Canadian passport is easy for them. With that, they come and go like a Whitecastle in a small intestine, into the USA. Keep your "friends" close, but understand the enema that they are.
Inflation was bad and a major driver of why the Ds got the boot. I’m just saying we shouldn’t be celebrating a policy that will also lead to higher prices and impact the working families the most.
Oh, great. I can hear it now: "That wasn't Trump inspired 'inflation' like Biden caused. It was just routine 'huge price increases.' "
People stop buying as much foreign products...manufacturing returns to the U.S. in large scale...prices go down, economy soars.....pretty simple
She actually does make bread on occasion. Best Christmas present I ever got for me was the commercial grade Mix Master she uses.
No, her subtle point was that "migrant caravans will no longer reach the US-Mexico border."
She said nothing about what happens when they are stopped 50 ft. short of the border, so looks like trebuchets may still be in play.
And then, of course, the inevitable response:
