True, they are actually less in most cases than what other countries have imposed on us.
The tariffs should be higher.

They are not reciprocal. Regardless of what your influencers tell you.

Growth flat, and built on nothing but more debt.
A good economy isnt built on debt, Bucko.

You must absolutely love putting your ignorance on display.

According to this guy there is an assumption of "unfair" manipulation that other countries engage to prop up export industries. no doubt there is a lot of truth in that. And if you accept that assumption then the approach the Administration is taking is more "reciprocal" than just matching tariff levels.
Still, I think the approach seems heavy handed, but we are going to see if it works.

He loves speaking as if he even knows what the topic is about. Always results in showing his ignorance.
This is like him entering a thread on the why the sky blue and his response is "NO! Dogs are a snack and your president is lying about that!"
Literally that stupid.

Exactly, and he knew what was going to happen 1 month prior. This article was from Feb 2025.

From which suit, then, is it wisest to play a card? Some analysts have taken the threat of “reciprocal tariffs” to mean literally holding a mirror up to the tariff regimes of other countries, imposing precisely the same tariff rate on each product from each country that the country imposes on the product coming from the U.S. “You’re talking more than 3.1 million different tariffs,” suggests the Cato Institute’s Scott Lincicome. But while Lincicome is talking about 3.1 million tariffs, there’s no reason to believe that’s what the administration is pursuing. Rather, Trump’s orders indicate a desire to assess the extent of imbalance in market access between the U.S. and each of its trading partners, and then use a tariff to counteract it.
Had you read the article you would have understood the issue you struggle with is bringing your own baggage to the table. Specifically as it relates in how you define the term “reciprocal”.

OK it isn't tariff to tariff. It aligns more closely to an idea I had when I was a child. Here is an example. China pays workers 1 dollar per hour. The USA pays 10 dollars an hour. The USA should impose tariff of the equivalent of 9 dollars and hour against china so they can't get the benefit of under paying their workers.
Just a general analogy. I don't know what the Trump administration is doing to calculate the tariffs.
I guess if might be something similar or probably completely different. But it is clear that the Trump administration is trying to shift the balance from import to export using some tactic. It might not be fair as many would define it. I say the heck with fair. Put America first.

I would usually quote some excerpts but I was in the car taking the kid to school. Anyway, it’s a good conversation. I’m sure there is crossover with what you’re linking to too. But people should still give it a read.

Progressive monetary policy.

Wrong.
The Trump administration bastardized/lied about "reciprocal" to make you folks clap.
They are not reciprocal. shite, the information he used to tabulate tariffs is false.
