Trump has been very cautious not to put tariffs on consumer goods, he tariffs the middle of the supply chain because he knows low-information voters (*cough*Moochie*cough*) will make excuses for him.

That's like saying "We're not taxing your steak dinner". Because the tax is actually on the beef which raises the cost of your dinner by 5 bucks.

 

[BotanyBoy]

The tariffs ARE a tax on the American middle class.

Noooooo....they are taxes on evil corporations!!!

What, you think suppliers and retailers are just going to eat their losses?

Yup just like Obamacare!!!

Of course they will pass on the cost increases to..you guessed it. The wal-mart and amazon shopping masses.

And the left will boo-fuckin'-hoo about the evils of capitalism and corporations.

Oh look at suddenly Mr.Libertarian....talking shit about things he clearly doesn't understand.

Tax are the way to utopia buddy....time to tariff and tax ourselves into prosperity!!!

Or is that only when (D)'s are taxing the working/middle class?

No it's more like taxing some Chinese persons tofu dinner.....I'm an American, I eat steaks, grown in the USA and not tax by the Chinese.

The only problem is all that great cheap-assed chinese rubber dog shit we love to buy. All of a sudden, not so cheap.

Going to be hard for them to sell their rubber dog shit then....if the American consumer doesn't wise up they will find themselves poorer for the sake of China.

Meanwhile the Chinese fucking STARVE.

Propinquity

Man, I don’t remember the last time I read that word. At least a decade—or two.

 

[OldJourno]

I think I know there are a lot of layers to the topic of tariffs, and I know I think facing off against China with tariffs is long overdue. And I think Trump getting tough over protecting intellectual property also is long overdue.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Your threads are a great service to those with no access to CNN.com.

Right? It’s totally like no one else creates threads about current events.

Totally socialist spokesperson of China’s Ministry of Commerce you mean. Good thing I provided such a great service, moron.

Trump supporters already feeling the pain still back Trump. They’re watching Trump shoot them on Fifth Ave and happily cheering him on.

lol.


I just read that the Chinese massmedia have beennengaging in some false propaganda and muddying of waters around this stuff, and then tried to form an alliance with EU,which EU declined:.

#sneakyChinese

I don't understand half of the terms or implications,but it sounded to me as if what China proposed would have been economically advantageous. So why did EU turn them down?

 

[beew]

You often crack me up, BB.
Whenever someone mentions Corporations, here you are.
You're like the official GB Corporate defender.

Noooooo....they are taxes on evil corporations!!!

In saying that, I softened a bit my own anti-Corporatist views after browsing RT. All of the UK and US channels that they promote (Chris Hedges, renegade.inc and stuff) promote US and Western European socialism, and attack US and EU Corporations.
Now RT aren't exactly interested in the well-being of the EU or America. So it's all strange.

The entire World has been irreversibly pushed into a different NWO since Margaret Thatcher opened the door to neoliberalism. So unfortunately trying to turn back the clock in the US will do more harm than good.
The US needs it's corporations to be more powerful than Chinese or Russian ones.
But HAL is right. Not to the detriment of the Middle class, or letting the poor have substandard medical care.

So that's my rant.

Especially NITT's comments.
That's why I like her, despite her trolling or comments about Melania's origin. Good sarcasm or sense of humour, when she's in that mode.

I hope he holds off on the human kidney transplant tariff. China just called and told me a perfectly healthy prisoner will die of natural causes next month and I should book my hotel now.

You get the latest job numbers and news that employers cannot find workers, but to hear the tale from the Progressives, Trump has tanked the economy.

I'm here to tell you that being divorced from reality doesn't even begin to describe the #NeverTrump crowd.

They even deny the movement of 'minorities' away from the automatic vote for the Democrat Party. Those geriatric white leaders have, for too long, assumed that 'brown' people cannot think, or act, in their own best interests, but instead need the affirmative action of white, Progressive American intellectualism...

A reminder about today's jobs numbers:
1) They have little to do with Trump. The economy gained jobs for 75 months straight before he took office.
2) The tax cuts haven't boosted wages. In fact, hourly earnings are down for millions of workers.
3) The deficit has exploded.

but frisco is still down with trump.

The credit is all to President Obama!
That's why Hillary Clinton is now the President, because of how well the Obama economy performed!

 

[WoundedKnee]

Pick a low point, make it the staring point, and then claim that any and all rise is due to xyz...



That's why the number chosen is 75. It's an Affirmative Action number.

No coherent response. Bark Ginger, bark...

 

[WoundedKnee]

How does the continued "rise" jibe with the continual mantra that Trump is "destroying" the economy?

 

[thehaircutgirl]

No coherent response. Bark Ginger, bark...

what happened to you that causes you to say such ignorant things? i posted facts and your rebuttal was "obamahillaryobamahillary" and then you talk about me and coherent responses. how do you really not see your own hypocrisy especially since it is constantly pointed out?

Yes, you posted a fact. I will agree to that.

What I will not agree to is letting you take it out of context.
There is a clear difference between this current economy and the economy of 36 months ago, which is why you went back even further in time, to a low point from which any gain could be pointed to as a positive gain. As soon as Hillary blew the election, business and consumer confidence grew.

Right now, President Trump enjoys better approval numbers than President Obama did in at the same point in his Presidency. In short, his 'love' is still directly proportional to the 'hate' of Trump. Where the election hinges is in the middle. Secretary Clinton threw away the middle and the Democrats, and representatives such as yourself, seem to be dead set on throwing away the middle again heading into an election that YOU HAVE TO WIN IF YOU WANT TO STOP HIM!

Think about it for a while before you again scream "APOLOGIST!"

 

[thehaircutgirl]

Yes, you posted a fact. I will agree to that.

****garbage that doesn't matter****

i snipped you because this is the most honest thing i've ever read by you and i want us to have a positive relationship.
