re: Trumps tariffs have had zero benefit in my life

I know this, when I go to Sam's or Walmart which I do a lot, prices are insane. The Folgers I paid $14 for not long ago is $23. Steak at Sam's is not even worth considering. We get the hamburger for $7 a lb. which was ribeye prices not that long ago .Everything is high asf. This doesn't feel like it's helping me anymore than California's $8 gas is helping the climate.

They've had a great effect for the country. You are not the entire country.

Yup. Tariffs are having a big time negative impact on American manufacturers.
The “strategy” really hasn’t accomplished much.
Imagine that. Ask a soybean farmer how they are doing right about now.

Well that sucks for you. But there are about 300,000,000 other Americans that the tariffs have helped.

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
The sooner you realize the purpose of tariffs are to generate headlines rather than accomplish anything the sooner they will make “sense”

So... You should have voted for Kamala... You know, the person who wanted to literally END the O&G industry and fossil fuels... and was part of the administration the previous four years that worked toward doing that.
See how that would have worked out for you.

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

I mean, maybe people should only drink a half a cup of coffee instead of a full cup.

The early tariffs these baws love so much by our early government only tariffed finished goods, it excluded components.
No components should be tariffed. Its how small business competes with economies of scale.

Yes, tax me harder daddy! Our wasteful government having more of my money is so much more beneficial to me than me having it.
Wait a minute. You have moved on to another question. The point was that the tariffs have done harm, but have done no good. I refuted that plainly. Now you have moved to an argument that the tariffs. on net, are bad. That might be so, but it was not the question, which was, “Have tariffs done any good to set against the bad they have done?” The answer is, Yes.

Cool, can we eliminate everything I dont personally benefit from as well?

Didn't the tariffs raise like $700B in revenue for the US?

Tariffs aren't meant to feel good. Correcring the last 50 years of bullshite is going to hurt everyone at least a little. I thought we all knew this.

According to Grok, imported beef is only about 10-15% of the market in US. The tariffs dont explain the 40%+ increase in beef prices over the past 6 months
