So you think international relations is just the buddy system? This board’s ability to find new levels of stupid continues to amaze me.

You are not tariffing the hell out of THEM, you are tariffing the hell out of American consumers. It's a tax hike in disguise.

Pay down the debt. It is a new source of money for the government. It will never go away.

Trump announced a tariff rate of 31% for Switzerland in April as part of a broad push to reorder global trade, but increased the threatened tariff to 39% last week.


Better accept now - 46% next week?

Thank you for admitting it is a tax hike. BTW - this might be what we need to cut the deficit, it might be a brilliant way to do it.....but I just want to openly call it what it is and openly say who pays it, the American consumer.

As long as you admit it is a tax hike, fine.
