And I dunno the same people that complain that “taxation is theft” celebrated Trump raising taxes on Americans through the tariffs. Which I guess is another example of how Trumpkins abandon their core principles or twist them up in some sort of Gordian knot so that it aligns with anything he says or does.
Point out to me the “taxes” we were paying through Trump’s tariffs that we aren’t now and the noticeable difference as to where it’s now better for us citizens.

Tariffs absolutely are a tax on US consumers.
Any economics undergrad could tell you that.
Tariffs reduce imports from abroad as foreign producers stop exporting their goods at the same rate, hence supply of the good domestically declines. Demand still remains the same which causes the price of the good domestically to rise.
Americans end up paying higher prices on goods because the tariffs force domestic prices upwards through the impact on supply.
Milton Friedman spoke out against tariffs repeatedly - he'd be rolling in his grave to see a Republican party propose them as economic policy.

Isn't this the entire point...
Once you implement tariffs, they're politically difficult to remove even though most economists and policymakers think tariffs are dumb economic policies.
Biden can't exactly remove tariffs and have it play well. The benefits of tariffs are spread over a few groups while the disadvantages are spread over a large number of consumers. Therefore, the few that benefit from tariffs have a much louder voice than ordinary consumers.
Milton Friedman spoke about this exactly.

He isn't going to run. The far left media are baiting him into running but, as he has shown over and over again, he won't take their bait, no matter how much the Democrats on this board hope he will run against Trump.
Desantis is scarier than Trump. A Democrat wants trump to run by far.

This. If Biden is going to run again (which I doubt) he NEEDS Trump to be the nominee. Its his only shot. Biden would be toast with any other GOP nominee.
