I'm guessing the thought is to stimulate the auto industry indirectly by allowing people to purchase more cars. Uh huh. People use the tax break to buy more cars. Government loses money via tax breaks, auto companies clean up cuz Americans love cars and buy more of them. How do you not see this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I said similar, but it's not me seeing something, it's you not knowing the definition of subsidy. People don't have to use the subsidy to buy a newer car if they don't want. That's why it's not a subsidy to the auto industry. HTH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Psychic Observer 297 Posted October 16 @JuneJuly Donald Trump said yesterday at the Chicago economic forum that the countries will pay the tariff. That is false. We can't tax a foreign country. The importer pays the tax and 9/10 passes the cost to the consumer. This is proof that donald trump doesn't understand the fundamental principle of how tariffs work. He also went on to say that if a foreign entity didn't want to pay the tariff (they don't) then they will just build a plant in the US. A truly childish theory. You and Donald are wrong on tariffs and most economists agree. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just awesome watching some tell the truth to someone that’s never heard it. What did Donald Trump say yesterday that was the truth? His ideas were shot down and the interviewer explained why with clarity. Donald Trump responded with bravada and insults because he lacks the intelligence to debate. I can see how someone not well versed on the topic would mistake his insults for the truth. So what exactly did Donald Trump say that was the truth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Libtards are ok with that for some reason. It’s another thing that makes them tards. He didn't make this point yesterday. If you want to talk trade deficit it's not the result of tariffs. A trade deficit means we are spending more money than we can make domestically. Trade deficits aren't inherently bad. If we can get cheaper goods internationally then we should. Has nothing to do with tariffs. If we can make them at home for cheaper then we should. A trade deficit correlates with economic growth and a simple graph will tell you that. Regardless he said yesterday that the country pays the tariff which is false. He also said that tariffs will not increase the cost of goods because companies will move to us which is amateur. He is not smart. He told no truth. He didn't take down anyone. One more point on trade deficit. When Trump was president between 2016 and 2020 the trade deficit increased. INCREASED by $100B. It's not something he ever improved on when he had 4 years to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe someone else can do better than I can: I watched your video. The person in the video is demonstrably wrong on several items. For example he says that Japan has a 100% tariff on US automobiles. This is false. There is no tariff on US autos in Japan. That aside, I assume the point you are trying to make by sharing a video is that Donald Trump is not really going to tariff everything. He's just negotiating. Interesting but what I found is that it is dangerous to try and infer Donald's Trumps intentions from his words. Honestly I view this as an excuse. It's very weak and foolish to campaign on putting large tariffs on everything if you're only going to use tariffs as a negotiation tool for trade. Our trade partners are watching.

Have you given up trying to defend tariffs yourself that you just now post videos of stupid people doing it? He's talking about knock offs but tariffs make it worse. You want to stop knockoffs. Which is a real problem. But you know you are wrong on how. Tariffs will cause the Chinese to KNOCK YOU OFF MORE !!! They know your companies are having to pay the tariffs on the legit products. Which makes it easier for their knockoffs to be sold for far far far less on Amazon and anywhere else Let's do the math. Right now the knockoffs sell for at least 25% less than branded versions. Guess what... a 60 percent tariff on a lower priced knockoff is less than the American company pays on their higher priced, branded product. You think there can be tariff negotiations to end knockoffs, That's laughable. You know from watches, there are knockoffs everywhere. The grey market and the knockoff market won't be ended by any tariff negotiation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
