You're old enough to remember Abe Lincoln made similar promises.

The success or failure of the tariffs, and the midterm elections for the republicans for that matter, is whether or not we start to see new trade agreements finalized by some of bigger trade partners like the Europeans, Japan, and India. Given progress with these countries, I think it will take some pressure off of the stock market and the repercussions of the "embargo" on China.

You can get on board with the rest of the world or go sit in the corner with China. Your choice commie.

I’ll ignore the first paragraph since it has nothing to do with this topic. This debt is unsustainable. There has to be a reckoning. Would you rather keep the status quo and continue to borrow from the future and just let it collapse at some point or make sacrifices now that may start to balance spending/revenues?

I have no idea if this is the correct path or not. I have to think there are very smart people preparing these plans. I think they may have underestimated the unwillingness of this country to make any sacrifice, even for a short period of time, for the greater good. Previous generations would be ashamed.

Tariffs and higher prices.

Me too. Just because this country has been successful, doesn't mean we should be taking on massive debt to be the world's caretaker. There are too many problems here that have been ignored while $$$ just keeps flowing overseas.

Especially after routing Ukranian in Kursk in the past week as well.

Only an a$$hole wouldn't cheer for that kid.

But where are the security guarantees????

Zelensky lost a lot of creditability and American support today.

Me too

Nice gotcha you have there.

Ignore IT, and IT will go away.
