Show me once where I've argued for increasing our tariffs. I'll wait.

Re-read my question. It was not a difficult one.

So how do you propose we solve tariff discrepancies?

There is tremendous downside to rural America in places like the Upper Midwest if this drags out.
Trump has no strategy. Hell, he waffled a bit on TPP.
He's winging it here, I think he will fold rather quickly when the damage becomes apparent.

I agree, either he will massively embrace some small short term win or congress will take the wheel to save him from himself.
Maybe if he had gone about this with some kind of plan he could have made real change.

I will send you my tariff bills and you can pay them. Let me know about those downsides.

I think he has a broad objective, but no real strategy.

The status quo is far, far better than the tariffs.
We have a much more global economy than at anytime in history.
Most manufacturers in the USA use some kind of imported good. A LOT of manufacturing companies were started because of the availability of imported goods.
It is very telling the old tariff proponents in industry--car makers--are unanimously opposed to tariffs.

Tariff proponents are following the old liberal way of thinking that any action is better than doing nothing.
Yet the economy was flying so why did we need tariffs???

It is really telling that a lot of people expect the end game will be some small tariff concession by some country and then Trump will declare it the greatest trade deal of all time.
I wonder why people have that impression of Trump??

Yeah this is also a likely scenario.
Gotta keep winning!

Exactly as I said. If you did a SWOT Analysis, you’d only list things in W or T mockingly and have tons in the S and O quadrants. No downsides? Are you high or just completely intellectually dishonest?

I didn't expect that from him. He used to actually seem very knowledgeable on economic matters.

Don't know if anyone else heard Mark Levin's show yesterday, but he was railing against the tariffs, and was making the pro-tariff callers look silly for their lack of understanding of economics.
Thanks Clemson, you're finally siding with us in the fact that ALL countries need to remove their tariffs against the United States and everyone starts at 0. Unfortunately, to get there means the US needs to flex some muscle against the thieves, but we all be equal with no tariff's soon enough. Thanks for the insight sir.

If tariffs are so bad why do our trading partners have them?
Posted on 7/25/18 at 1:07 pm to GumboPot
Socialist policies are bad but yet other countries still have socialist policies.

Because those particular industries grease the right palms in those countries. The net benefit to their economies is negative but they don't care. The fundamentals of economics still work the same.

Will he? Or will he throw more money at people who are hurt by them by invoking depression era clauses?

I agree with Levin on tariffs, but I still support the president and understand why he could be doing what he is doing.

It isn't. I haven't once argued differently.

So the current tariffs we pay are AOK but the ones which don’t yet exist that Trump is threatening to impose in order to get the current ones reduced are somehow catastrophic???
You guys do realize you are arguing against a “high anchor” that doesn’t even exist?
Morons.
