Tariffs are imposed on the US importers, not on the foreign exporters. So "we" are being "taxed more." How could you possibly not understand this by now?
There are thousands of tariffs on various products. What percentage have seen an increase in cost greater than the normal inflation amount?

The importer pays the taxes.
And there are many examples of the foreign exporters eating that expense.

The US government's taxing jurisdiction only extends to people and companies here in America.
Wrong. USA taxes it’s citizens no matter where they live. One of the few that do.

How much more are you paying in taxes cause of Taeiffs
The report I just saw says they've cost consumers around $800 billion extra since 2018.
Which is about 30% more cumulative money than all the money we've ever sent Israel since 1947, just for comparison's sake.
Here's another comparison point: DOGE's final policy goal was $150 billion that they thought the could cut from the budget in fraud and waste.
So, $800 billion is either a lot, or it's not.
It's either a negligible amount regardless of whether we spend it on Israel or take it out of circulation and let the government decide what to do with it, or it's a significant amount in both cases.
Which is it populists?
I really don't care which you pick, but I really don't want to hear that $800 billion is not a significant amount today, but someone here has to get a third job to pay all the taxes necessary to send foreign aid to Israel tomorrow (which, since 1947 in inflation adjusted dollars comes to around $600 billion, cumulative), or that we won't have to reform SS/Medicare/Medicaid if we just cut all the waste and fraud from the budget the week after that.
Let's get together and decide. A lot? Or not?

He’s really quite sure he’s right about this though.
How can you not understand how right tboy thinks he is while being idiotically wrong?

Boom. So not only did Trump oust the anti-American Supreme Court judges, he still gets what he wants.
Love it. Absolutely love it. Masterful move.
I do not believe ruling against the IEEPA as the engine for tariffs was anti-American. SCOTUS clearly said he had the authority to exact tariffs, just not through any authorities within the IEEPA.

I wouldn’t mind a 10% total tariff as opposed to 25% or 50%. Huge relief to cash flow and could hire new employees and grow.

Everyone in right wing media, is now admitting that this Supreme Court decision, did NOTHING to stop Trump from imposing tariffs.
Why?
Because Trump ALREADY has several other legal means to impose tariffs on whoever he wants to.
And these other laws, are approved by Congress and have ALREADY been litigated many times in the past.
But people won’t ask the right questions.
Trump has the legal authority to impose tariffs and will continue to do so.
But here’s the real question that nobody is asking:
With all the legal options available to Trump, to impose tariffs, that have ALREADY been proven to be legal under the Constitution….WHY did Trump choose the IEEPA law, to impose some of his tariffs?
Trump is a genius and surrounded by brilliant legal minds.
He’s clearly done his homework on legal precedents, which is why he keeps winning Supreme Court decisions.
So WHY use the IEEPA law, knowing that there was a high probability that he would lose, given the fact that the IEEPA law, isn’t focused on tariffs, but rather SANCTIONS?
As I have said in this 2 Part ??
Trump wants the focus on the IEEPA law, because it’s been abused in the past by corrupt presidents.
Especially Obama.
I think Trump wants the focus on the IEEPA law, to set the table for the PROSECUTION PHASE that’s incoming.

TDS seems to go both ways. If there’s one thing retard economists are right about its tariffs. Tariffs can have their place for certain things but blanket tariffs are inflationary and just stupid.

I notice that you never like actually, you know, say anything, or add anything to any discussion.
That seems odd.

What is there to say to that

I'm not talking about this thread. Which, again, you aren't adding anything at all. Literally nothing.
Instead I'm talking about every thread I ever see you in. It's always the same. You don't really ever SAY shite.
And this is the state of our legal field, friends. A bunch of frickin nothings. They don't really have anything to say. The greatest depth of their contribution to any discussion is what SFP brings us which appears to be the living embodiment of the acckchuallly meme.
This is why AI will end up replacing these people. They're worthless. People paid to argue, and as we see more often than not, argue in bad faith, or in Boosie's case, no faith at all. He doesn't ever even say anything.

Yeah, there’s not much here that really interests me intellectually. Every now and then there will be some interesting posts but you’re usually nowhere to be found around those.
