Tariffs are cronyism.

Small businesses will get destroyed here.

A benefit for the American consumer at the cost of the foreign consumer.
One day you people will realize imports and exports are different transactions, and are done by individual companies, not the "USA"

So US corporations being taxed out of competitiveness is "a benefit for the American consumer"?
You really have no clue as to WTF you're talking about.
Sorry, but your contention that relatively overtaxed US corporations are "a benefit for the American consumer" is just stupid!

Our own labor costs do that.
If you want balanced trade, you better get busy devaluing the dollar.

Wow. So it's better to get section 8 housing, SNAP benefits than to work hard everyday like most had to do in the 50's.......Got it.
You made a very valid point. You can work like hell and get rich or work like hell to pay for the poors to live better than you.
Is it any wonder all the poors in the world want to sneak into America?

Just stop!
Our own labor costs occur ATOP OF THAT.

Sounds so simple. Sounds like a personal situation.
You implied you had some sort of advanced economic knowledge, Rog.
What would dollar devaluation do to inflation?
To the average person's buying power?
To the buying power of those on fixed income?
To cost-of-carry of our dept?

Oh jesus, here comes the tears.
We are priced out of the worlds labor markets, by and large, or we wouldnt need tariffs.

But irrelevant because your supposed labor overcharge occurs atop any tax, subsidy, dumping differentials.

Holy frick..
You think its irrelevant that we are priced out of labor markets by our own retarded monetary policy..

Put differently, and in terms you might better understand, regardless as to how bad our labor situation may or may not be (totally different conversation), the issues we're discussing are above and beyond those conditions.

If the topic has a connection to the original discussion, I disagree. The real world, and the consequences of any decision made by individuals or government, doesn’t exist in a vacuum. This is a discussion board with unlimited characters and posts. You can address a post, or move on. Let the moderators moderate. Posters post. Only the moderators reserve the right to limit conversation.

It isn’t nearly as black and white as your simple mind makes it here.

Of course, you can apply any one of the five different, often conflicting reasons Trump has given for the tariffs to cover yourself

Another simple-minded take. You only deal in absolutes, which is a fool’s errand. You don’t know what you don’t know.
