    He’s also a dude who believes that the Jews were behind 9/11. That’s why he’s an embarrassment as a dad and I feel sorry for his son.

    I’m not an idiot yet but the more I read your posts the more I run that risk.

    Lol Sparky your insults mean nothing to me. And don’t mention intelligence: you have never offered a coherent thought in this forum.

    And she wouldn’t have done the tariffs. That alone, in addition to everything else, would have made her a better President. We tried to tell you this, you didn’t listen. The debate between them should have told you she was much smarter, more knowledgeable, better prepared than Trump. You weren’t paying attention. Now we all suffer.

    Elon appears to be finally waking up. Makes sense: he lost 30 billion in the last two days. Anyhow he ripped Peter Navarro (Trump’s main tariff advisor) as an idiot and said he wants a no tariff zone between us and Europe. if only. But I doubt Trump’s going to listen to him either…

    One of the issues that nobody is paying much attention to yet: the large number of people from Europe and Canada who are cancelling their planned trips to the USA as retaliation because they don’t want to spend money here. This shouldn’t be dismissed; the impact could be terrible for us, particularly in California and Florida.

    Not the best description of my life but it does apply well to Trump’s.

    If you can explain why this subject is at all relevant to issue of tariffs I’ll be happy to tell you exactly how that all went down.

    You might as well stay in that deck chair. The band is still playing after all and the lifeboats are all full.

    As this situation gets worse and worse, we’re going to hear a lot of folks here and elsewhere proclaim that they don’t like Trump, they don’t like Democrats either, damn the lot of them, let’s try something new. They will NEVER take responsibility for having voted for Trump, and they will NEVER credit liberals for opposing Trump. They’ll simply say they’re sick of all of it.

    Stock Market bubble - will crash

    I really don’t need to do that. Nothing I write will change his status. ETA- but I really did lose a lot of money the last few days (on paper). So I would like to get that back, please.

    As usual you refuse to address any of the points raised. Yes we need to do something. We don’t need to make things worse. The debt is so huge we can’t possibly solve it by cutting spending- we can never cut enough. The only way out is to grow our way out of it- and that means MORE trade not less. Trump is proposing curtailing trade and increasing the debt through tax cuts, the exact opposite of what we need to do. I pointed this out when he was running for office. Now it’s too late. But please don’t attempt to scold Democrats. We didn’t vote for this moron; you did. Now we all pay the price.

    In principle yes, in practice no. From what I can observe they used a hammer, not a chisel.

    If the goal is to address the debt, then there couldn’t be a worse solution than tariffs. And coupled with the fact that, in just a few weeks, the Republicans are going to explode the debt to brand new depths by passing a new tax cut, it’s absurd even to bring this topic up.

    Again bullsh!t. Go ahead and provide some links of Obama calling for worldwide tariffs.

    These two questions represent the flawed thinking that so many folks still have about this whole affair. Trump’s action was not caused by the policies of other nations. For many of them there is no concession that they can make that would change anything, because the tariffs are based on trade deficits, not on reciprocal tariffs. This doesn’t end with other nations changing policies or giving in to our demands- we don’t have any demands. It ends when we decide to go back to what was previously status quo.

    All at once, based on trade deficits, for every country on Earth? I call bullsh!t on this one.
  23. The Real timschochet

    Yeah...I'm a bit worried

    You guys are trying to make yourselves feel better with “I could never have voted for Kamala” nonsense. Here’s why it’s nonsense: 1. Trump’s tariffs are either going to severely harm our economy or destroy our economy. Those are your two options. There’s nothing else. Don’t take my word for it; listen to the economists. 2. Kamala Harris wouldn’t have done this. And that’s all there is to it. No matter how much you might have disliked her other policies, or her personally, none of that is at all important compared to this issue. So yeah, sorry, you guys are going to regret your vote. You blew it.

    It’s not that you don’t know; it’s that the answer is it’s not possible. Keep in mind that even if somehow this situation ultimately results in more manufacturing in the USA, it will be mostly automation doing the work. We’re not really going to gain from that.

    So much wrong with this. But let’s start with a very basic question: please explain why trade deficits are bad for the United States.
