Trade Wars and Tariffs

[DinkinFlicka]

Like, pop pop just raised it to 15% from 10%.

Water carrying lemmings: explain why.

There will never be debt reduction without massive spending reductions.

Ok, then by your logic the bragging by Trump that the tariffs would help reduce the debt was always utter b.s. and those who defended it are idiots. Correct?

YES!!!

ETA: as many of us have said over and over we don’t have a revenue problem we have a spending problem

and costs were passed on to the consumer.

****, you cant have it both ways.

But which consumer paid which passed thru tariff is impossible to determine.

Yup, the Tariff was marked up to the companies normal acceptable margin and they profited even more off the consumer. Small percentage; but it was free money. Not many places were passing along the tariff at cost.

$10,000 in materials w/ tariff of 10%
$11,000 Total CoGs

Normal price at 40% margin = $16,666.67
With Tariffs at 40% margin = $18,333.33

refunds should not go to anyone who does not deserve them. If a business raised its prices to cover the tariff cost then it deserves no refund.

What about lost business due to higher costs? Anyway, tax refunds go to the payer of the tax, not to the payer's customers.

Another example of Trump being who the Dems wanted to be. The current TDS now has those old democrats leading the malicious parent syndrome.

I do love MAGA logic in action.

Show a clip of Pelosi suggesting that Congress, use their constitutional authority, to impose a tariff against China, from 30 years ago.

Then assume that means that Trump claiming an emergency under IEEPA last year, and slapping reciprocal tariffs on every country on the planet except Russia, Belarus, Cuba, and North Korea, is legitimate, and what Democrats were debating doing 30 years ago.

It's just so beautifully stupid.

Yes

Well if some other method of removing the MAGA cancer is necessary, so be it.

If we're going to survive this, trump will have to be impeached. The rest of thecworld stands ready to invade if it comes to civil war, which it will if trump fouls the elections.

He’s absolutely going to get impeached. But just like the other two times he won’t get convicted and removed.

He'll have to be removed.

And what does that mean exactly? You have impeachment/conviction or you have the 25th. Those are the only two legal methods and neither is likely to occur
