    Tariffs

    Ben Stein, Ronald Reagan, and a few others explain the basics to you.

    The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

          Tariff = shakedown/extortion/grift, as practiced by the Prez elect.

              The amercian ambassador pointed out

              " " Cutting Mexico out of the current North American free trade deal "may not be the best path to take," says U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Cohen.

              "I come from a school of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it,' when we have this really incredible, incredible agreement in CUSMA, by the way, an agreement that was negotiated by Donald Trump," Cohen said, in an interview on CTV's Question Period airing on Sunday.

              https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/if-i...deal-1.7137255 actualy what will happen is Trump

              Trump probably doesnt remember this agreement " he negotiated " cuz other people did all the work

              I think the Amercian or Canadian worker will pay all of Trumps Tariffs

                  The beauty of trumptard nation is that he could decide to not impose tariffs on industries that have paid him off & turn around and brag about cutting import taxes.

                    Probably not a good idea to impose tariffs on stuff we don't make or on materials we don't have. A case can be made to impose tariffs on products that are the result of stolen intellectual property or being sold below cost due to government subsidies. It is also reasonable to use them to support the emergence of local sources or sources from friendly countries. It is not a good idea to rely on a hostile state for critical products and materials. Before imposing the tariffs, however, we should be finding or developing other sources. China is currently the only source for rare earths. We can't afford to piss them off until we find other sources.

                      You have used 10x more words than Trump or anyone close to him has ever used to think about this issue.

                          Unintended consequences.

                          Fucking rent seeking is what tariffs are. Save a job in Pittsburgh and cut a hundred more around the country.

                          Anyone remember Bernie’s bobble head bill? Wanted only American made goods in federal gift shops. He, rightly so, got lambasted especially by the right and now it’s the right’s platform.

                            My prediction if Trump actually follows through with his proposed tariffs, the rest of the world gangs up on the US via trade war. We push countries to align with China’s interests. The world is united in its disdain for Trumps America and are far more willing to endure economic pain than the US.

                              Its just a smooth brained grifter shakedown. Billionaires deposit a yuuuge lump sum into his bank account and magically the billionaires particular industry doesnt have tariffs. Simp transaction from king simp.

                              Drain the swamp eh?!? He's appointing the swamp to gov position and its always been obvious but still not nearly as obvious. Blows my mind, sooo many morans.
