But all Liberation Day tariffs are refunded per SCOTUS right?




Of course not by the US. POTUS Trump just raised all tariffs. If there are to be any refunds, he will use the increased tariffs as leverage to make the originating country pay the refunds. That is, if they want the increased tariff removed.

Right. Off you go. Back to the sidelines to wait for another opportunity to jump out and get in your laugh emojis at people who actually bring shite here for people to discuss while offering exactly nothing of your own.

I'm actually an importer and you are a clueless dipshit. The importer pays the tariff to the Revenue Department. The entire cost of the tariff is paid by the consumer. Nothing more, nothing less.

And you are touting tariffs as a good thing ? It's a fricking tax on the American people and contrary to what you have ben lied to about, manufacturing isn't coming back to the U.S. because of tariffs. So, yeah, you are a major dipshit.

My company has no profit margin on our imports because of tariffs and the cost of those tariffs are passed along to the consumer at about 15% . That just my business, but all costs are high.

I mean, again, point to where I did that.

But if what he is saying about 18 trillion in incoming foreign investment is fully realized, yes, it will indeed be a good thing. And it will mean manufacturing brought back to the US.

It remains to be seen if those countries will follow through with their pledges I suppose, but taking him at his word on this - and I don't see any reason not to - yes, the tariffs I think are a good thing.

Are you literally retarded ? Our import costs are up 15% depending on what week with the Trump clown show. Those costs are passed on to the consumer. So, is a 15% hike significant ?

Also, it sure doesn't frickin help the idea or revitalizing American industrialization (which we now know was indeed frickin planned - de-industrialization that is - and that Trump is trying to reverse here) when we have communists at every turn trying to stymie any efforts to actually achieve that.

People need to understand tariffs are necessary. They forced Europeans to spend more on their defense (much from the US). They forced more fair agricultural trade with Asians

It’s not about just taxing imports. Long term we can’t rely on tariffs. We don’t have the labor force to sustain that unless we have a radical shift from the college mindset to trades.

But in the short term, tariffs work. For the long haul, tariffs help incentive people to choose better career choices. Which also needs to happen, because far too many get degrees that will never help them pay back their loans. If the government won’t do it, we can manipulate the market to force them to make better choices.

Money is not the end all beast. Tariffs have been really bad for my company (especially on steel and aluminum) but it’s good for the nation.

If you don’t have a nation, you have nothing. The 401k watchers are pathetic. Our nation is being invaded by 3rd world folks. Legacy is what endures. Retiring with 10% less to have a functional and clean society is better than retiring with 10% more and having to worry about not getting carjacked in broad daylight

Right. Because you think that he is lying. Despite all evidence to the contrary, you think he is lying. And that's the root of your argument.

Another panican, if not an outright leftist. And that's all.
