Not all of us, SS.

Another thought I had if you read this, was there an opportunity to negotiate with your supplier? Or is your duty cost already less what the supplier ate?

It would be nice if there was a mechanism to charge the tariffs to the foreign manufacturer or supplier. Make it a door cover charge to even solicit American business.

All the great right wing economists of the last fifty years say it is. Are they wrong?

China needs our market more than we need their stuff


-14.8% of Chinese exports go to the US. US receives 17.9% of it’s imports from China. Electrical products and electrical equipment is the leading imported product the US gets from China. We get 70% of our rare earth materials from China. The 1st thing China did during the tariff war was cutoff all exports of rare earth materials to the US. 21.4% of Chinese exports go to the EU

-US exports about 8.6% of its goods to China. Farming goods like meat, soy, corn, grains, oil seeds, mineral oils is the largest exported goods to China. Electric machinery and sound equipment is 2nd

We need their rare earth materials and we need to send them farming goods. We need them more than they need us.

Trump's BBB would increase deficits by $2.4 trillion over the next decade.


Isn't $1.9 billion over the next 10 years of that on Biden? So are we talking $500 billion increase over the next 10 years or $2.4 trillion increase over the next 10 years?

Maybe, possibly, we hope so......
frick that. We need a concrete, 180 degree turn in how we deal with our debt.

I saw a something on X today... anytime our debt reaches 3% of the GDP, all congress members are automatically unseated and new ines elected.

I suppose you missed where he said this could run him out of business.

If you can’t understand his position well…

I apologize for the tone. Your post didn’t warrant it and you are one of the ones that deserve it.

That is what happens when Trump reverses course on his tariff plan. You se the actual price and stock fluctuations in real time. Lower the tariff, suddenly lawn mowers are in stock and on sale.

It must seem like magic to you.

The highly partisan CBO grudgingly admits what the Orange has been saying, tariffs will bring in massive revenue:


Can you read?


250b a year. Our current deficit is 2,000b. It's pissing in the wind, and absolutely does nothing to reduce the debt.

They’ll bring in revenue. They will only reduce the debt if we can also reduce spending.

When I get a raise, it only increases my savings if my wife doesn’t spend it.

How can they calculate tariff revenue over a decade when the tariff rates change almost daily?
