The tariffs are very simply a tax. It astounds me that any conservatives support them.

That’s also how I’d reply if I didn’t have a cogent argument

Thanks to the Big Beautiful Law and Landry’s state reforms, I’m getting lower income tax brackets. Net win in my book!

Just a couple more years, you'll grow some hair.

edit- bracket unintentional, but I do dig 'em

And, no, cogent arguments are not your goal. You just NEED attention.

Good luck.

They aren't there to benefit you in the short term, in fact they are going to hurt a little. The Tarriffs are there to bring China to the table and have leverage. That's why Trump put Tarrifs on China and every other country they might use to bypass the Tariffs to get goods into the USA.

If they can't get China to the table and come up with a fair trade deal, we are hosed long term..The country is hosed long term. Eventually, the dollar won't mean crap to the rest of the world and China will be the world Super Power if we don't do something now. That's the trajectory. We will just be another 3rd world crap hole along with the rest of the West.

We lost manufacturing jobs altogether and outsource STEM jobs or bring foreigners here to take them. We gotta start bringing manufacturing back and the STEM jobs for the next generation, or call it a day..

That's because you only care about yourself. Those tariffs are going to provide jobs to real Americans. Take a look at the economy. It's a boomin' and it is only going to get bigger.

1. Nobody cares.
2. You're too ignorant to even know what is benefiting your life.
3. Nobody cares.

There has been government revenue from tariffs that obviously benefits you.



Yes, tax me harder daddy! Our wasteful government having more of my money is so much more beneficial to me than me having it.

We aren’t bailing out the farmers who are about to go bankrupt because of the tariffs. And we aren’t bailing you out.

In O&G for 30+.

The cheaper commodities coming from China have slowed significantly.

That’s a benefit for everyone.

Most feel it when they go to the grocery.


No they don’t.

The grocery stores insurance is a bigger expense than tariffs would be an example.

When the government bailed out the banks and told homeowners too bad when they lost their homes, that was the sign.

Wrong … I sell raw goods. 50% tariff on steel. Who is going to pay for that lol? Sad thing is no one in the US can produce but still get tariffed


We make steel in this country .Theres massive steel mills right here in Mobile County that make stainless. There's mills all over this country. Be honest. We are the third largest producer on the planet and we could do more.
