re: Why are tariffs bad when we do it, but not when they do it to us?

We have the strongest economy in the world.
The countries who embrace tariffs have inferior economies.
Why do you, and Trump, want to make our economy worse?
So when do we stop propping up the world’s economies from WWII?
Is there ever an end to it?
When do we take back our manufacturing and have an actually real economy? What about the generations of people now who are struggling to have a career that gives them a living wage, purchase a home, have kids responsibly to maintain a viable and healthy economy?

Every working person in this country owes, on top of their personal debt, $336,363 in federal debt. So, laughably wrong. We have a strong bubble, until we don't.

Youre under the false impression that trade deficits are tied to the debt.

Roger says
Even if they regain value, you still lost on your rate of return.
Followed by the below response and Roger answer
So...
I buy 1000 shares at 75
Share price drops to 60
It then goes to 85 and I sell.
Rogers answer
"You could have sold higher than 80 had the market not fallen
You lost 15, gained 25. That puts you 15 behind where you potentially could have been
And then TRIPLE DOWN
Potentially, absolutely.
If it hadnt gone to 60, it certianly would have sold higher than 80 in that time frame if the market were healthy

When I was young we were taught to not put all your eggs in one basket.
Not others fault if they don’t diversify.
That ultimately won’t matter because the market will be back and booming in a the next couple years.
PS. This is important so pay attention. IF we had done nothing and kept going we would have been bankrupt and then another great depression which we are not facing now. One more time for you slow people.
WE WERE HEADING FOR BANKRUPTCY AS A COUNTRY

The tariffs aren’t reciprocal. For example Japan had 4.5% tariffs on us and we respond with 25%+ on them.
Do they charge a VAT or have any other regulations designed to make it harder for American products to enter their markets?

Who is pretending they are the same ? Do we have one generic agreement currently? Do you think that EU should tariff is as they have been for 60 plus years and have near zero tariffs here? America must be pretty damn good as these countries around the world have businesses and people flock to our shores yet block their access for ours. We have seemingly supported other nations causing distress on ours and yet weak knee American citizens are consumed with angst against trying to make it better

This all boils down to two mindsets, one that is focused of the short, and other the long game. In the short we have fluctuations and adjustments to contend with, but in the long you have a country that makes little to nothing, runs a 2 trillion dollar deficit and is 36 trillion in debt with a currency that the world currently hinges on. When everything goes south and the music stops, it’s America that will not find a seat, and will be avoided like the plague. What is America at present but the world’s financial institution and police?

Roger is never going to recover from that post. People will be throwing it in his face for as long as he's on this board. It's so painfully stupid and so clearly stupid that it calls into question everything else he's ever said
