Tariffs have been around longer than that.

But that didn't stop you from having a complete meltdown.

The greatest element of power that the U.S. holds is our market/consumers. As a people we buy a lot. There is no other country that comes close. Want to get rich? Find a way to sell goods to the American people. It's about time a president used this leverage of power.

Isn't it wild that a genius team with access to critical, classified information comes up with better solutions than random message board posters

Some folks may not like Trump's plans, too bad. Anyone can make the easy decisions. Trump is president because he has the stones to make hard ones in the face of relentless criticism

The left always liked tariffs. Ask Bernie.
It's hilarious watching MAGA people crowing in pride that Bernie, Warren, and John Stewart are pleased they are getting their policies enacted.

One, the inflation number tells you it was not passed along.



Having these prolonged trade deficits caused the inflation.

And it's hilarious seeing you act like you weren't totally wrong about the tariffs.

Indeed. Also totally irrelevant.

Always have to make up something to attack the person. I get it. I wouldn't want to defend Bernie and Biden's policies either.

Cute. But I've seen the data. Not some sad appeal to authority from Leftist think tank.

So now “The Left” has a view point that is to be respected? Bc it confirms to your view? There’s not like a bias that perfectly describes this thought process…is there?

Consumption tax at the point of sale when the purchaser has the money will always be more efficient and less painless to pay than the income tax system where the pair may be broke by the time the taxes due.


The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.

Of course then at the end there is Trump bashing in a desire to not get fired and cancelled....
But its a far left publication.
So true!

The shrunken trade deficit recently reported is almost completely due to the US exporting gold, which is not sustainable. That will go back up. There is little doubt that tariffs will help the trade deficit, but the recent shocking report is spurious.
