Before all this what was Canada and Mexico tariff rate against the United States? What was U.S. tariff rate towards them? I’m just curious since people are saying it was unfair. If it is so unfair, why export from them?

NAFTA became the USMCA in 2020. Here is what the President said about the new USMCA agreement at the time.

"The USMCA is the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law. It’s the best agreement we’ve ever made, and we have others coming."

I also would like to know exactly what this is about. I am pretty sure it is not about Fentanyl.

His stated reason for voting against this was it funded Biden's plan. That's simply not true. Biden is not president. Trump is.

I think Massie said it funded government at "Biden levels", which is true.

e passed CRs under Biden


Do any of the Massie Jizz Guzzlers have a response to this?

---

If I remember correctly.

Massie voted for one CR in 2023 because it had a provision in it to discontinue the CRs and force a vote on 12 individual appropriations bills.

This provision was taken out in subsequent CR bill and Massie voted "nay" on HR 5860 and those CRs that came after.

Looks like he wanted to at least get something that would make a change in 2023.

BTW, what did Trump get in the CR passed last week? Something? Anything?

Has he actually accomplished anything since becoming a government teat sucker?

Are you saying he should become a moderate? Moderates can get stuff done because they compromise with the other side. I am guessing this is what members of the "clown show", like yourself, acutally want.

He'd have a lot more support if he'd taken a similar hardline approach to the continuing resolutions during the illegitimate Biden term.

Which CR did Massie vote for?

Yes, you can pay more.

And I will if this is put into law. All you are doing is shifting the tax burden to those in the higher brackets. How progressive of you, you stupid Progressive.

If you want to be fair, cut the tax burden for everyone.

You also were just fine letting the the tax cuts expire and only having the people who already pay taxes pay more and the free loaders still be free loaders.

Where did I say this idiot???

Show me where. Fricking liar.

The argument that was made was that tariffs did not increase solar manufacturing in the USA because solar manufacturing tariffs were started in January of this year, and instead some other imaginary thing Joe Biden did led to the increase. That argument is false.

---

No. You made the case that Biden's IRA had nothing to do with the huge 4x spike in solar panel production 2023-2024.

You said it was due to tariffs.

Your initial argument is false.

[quote]The fact that he then had to go back and REISSUE those tariffs is an admission of failure on his part, and here you are trying to pretend it was something else.[/quote]

It was something else moron. You are the only one not getting it.

solar panel production growth

I can link articles all day. None of them them attribute the 4x increase in solar panel production from 2023 to 2024 to tariffs. Zero.

ANAHEIM, Calif. and WASHINGTON, D.C. — Solar module manufacturing capacity in the United States now exceeds 31 gigawatts (GW) — a nearly four-fold increase since the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) became law in 2022.

This is due to tariffs, moron.

---

You didn't read the article, moron.

The date of your ariticle is from late November 2024 moron.

Those increased tariffs on solar started in December 2024 moron.

How could those tariffs be responsible for increased solar production from the years 2023 to 2024 if they were just enacted in December 2024.

The increase in production came from incentives and subsidies in Biden's IRA, bottom line.
