re: 'High-income earners' will get left out of any tariff dividend

First step out of this mess is to return to pre COVID spending levels. Laying off no accountability low iq government workers and DOGE isn’t and won’t put a dent in spending.

I'm old enough to remember "Muh recission bills!"

Trump should pay the dividend out of his crypto ponzy scheme

Trump seems like he's coping hard the past week or so.

The reality for the Trump worshippers on here is setting in. All of his recent ‘ideas’ are unmasking him as what he truly is and always has been - A New York City Democrat parading around as a ‘populist’ who leans ‘Conservative’. There is no policy or idea no matter how dumb that his followers won’t twist their beliefs to support. Don’t believe me? Look at the 50 year mortgage thread

We’re going to impart tariffs which will make you pay more for goods but here’s some of the increased prices you paid back? We (the government) will pocket the difference and this will eventually make companies onshore widget production?

Tariffs are proven to protect domestic industries. It’s at the cost of other things, but it does happen. Why the question mark at the end of your sentence? Do you doubt this proven fact?

FWIW, I think the 50-year mortgage is a horrible policy, and I responded to you in that thread.

I know you do

All the idiots doing the "you'll own nothing and love it" a year ago now saying "TRUMP IS A STABLE GENIUS" today did quite the 180

Trump did this in his first term. When he gets unpopular he starts giving stuff away and attacking his own party members.

Because he cannot admit he is wrong.

Its always someone else's fault.

No. We've had huge tariffs on solar for over a decade. Still no significant domestic manufacturing.

You picked a single case, which is fraught with risk. The solar industry is possible only with government subsidies. Who wants to build a factory and take the risk that those subsidies will be revoked?

Steel and Aluminum Tariffs (U.S.): Tariffs imposed in 2018 are associated with increased domestic production, new investment in high-tech mills, and thousands of jobs in the steel and aluminum sectors. Domestic production of steel increased by approximately \(1.9\%\) and aluminum by \(3.6\%\) annually, according to the USITC report.

Washing Machine Tariffs (U.S.): Tariffs on imported washing machines led two major South Korean manufacturers, Samsung and LG, to open new manufacturing plants in the United States. This resulted in more jobs and new factories, while prices for consumers reportedly did not rise significantly, notes Prosperous America.

Home Generator Production (U.S.): After tariffs, home generator production moved from China to South Carolina in 2021, creating an estimated 750 jobs, reports Prosperous America.

East Asian Economies: Japan and South Korea, during their industrialization, used tariffs as part of a strategy that helped their manufacturing sectors grow, though this was in a different historical and economic context.

Did you argue the same thing when they similarly ruled Biden's student loan forgiveness illegal?
