re: Tariffs. What libertarian Economists don't grasp and more.

People paid more for sugar in the 70s than now. The paid more for it in 2010...
What does any of that have to do with Americans paying about double for sugar than the world market price because of tariffs?

Confirming that nobody is stupid enough to make an effort to respond to some meaningless request you made? Yeah, okay - I confirm that.
Fact is tariffs are often a burden on consumers. Not always, but often.

lmao @ this being posted in a thread (even loosely) discussing economics.

How much from sugar and how much will It go up and whats the increase in price from products that use sugar
We don't have to guess. Americans have been paying about double the international price for sugar for 50 years or so.

How much will it increase provide the numbers
Will?
US sugar producers have been protected for decades with tariffs, which is why sugar in the US typically runs about double the price of sugar elsewhere.

No im not. I said these tariffs will cause ZERO price increases on daily used goods.
Who in your view absorbs the tariff so it's not passed along to the consumer?

Pick any daily used good you want and tell me which tariff has caused the price to increase causing everyday ppl to struggle
"causing everday ppl to struggle" means whatever you want it to mean.
You're agreeing that tariffs increase prices, but your point is no price increases matter enough to be concerned about - is that your argument?

I’d imagine the bar and disciplinary committee of whatever jurisdiction they are licensed wouldn’t be too friendly. They are notoriously liberal
Have Bondi pen the letter. It would be fun to watch the bar/disciplinary committee try to discipline the USAG.

Judge could find the parties and attorneys in contempt. Trump could pardon them. Attorneys would likely face disciplinary action.
The president's attorneys? If so, so what? In a literal sense, no rational world would give over 600 judges that nobody voted for the power to open borders, determine how many people are employed by the federal government, etc. I wouldn't worry about any repercussions if I was Trump and it's not like he's not experienced at dealing with bullshite legal action.

Question for you - why can't Trump send a response to any fed district judge that went something like this, "Judge, your input is appreciated but this administration chooses to ignore your advice, as we do not believe you have the constitutional authority to run the executive branch of government" and then simply ignore all the noise?
Outside of precedent (I suppose), where do these district courts find the authority to preside over the day-to-day operation of the executive branch?

won't take much more migration to flip Wyoming and Montana, and even the Dakotas
It's going to take a lot to flip Wyoming and the Dakotas. First, the Dakotas are more red today than they were 50 years ago. SD for example - you're forgetting that Tom Daschle and George McGovern lorded over that state for more than a minute but a long time ago, so to see a Dem breakthrough and win a race here and there would not be unprecedented.
Wyoming ain't turning blue. FFS - the last Dem to win a congressional seat was back in the 70's and the state has voted 70% for Trump three elections in a row.

Trump needs to start steering Johnson and Thune to begin defunding the whole shoot'n match. Ultimately that's the control of fedgov that can't be contested with the judiciary.

Oh you are one of those that seems to think that we could not have reached this point in tech without FREE TRADE!
I haven't seen free trade being discussed much the last few pages of this thread. I certainly am not arguing in support of free trade. I'm arguing against the notion that Americans don't have it really, really well today, and we're all better off than Americans were 75 years ago. That's different than an argument in support of free trade as it has been practiced the last 35 years.
