The funny thing about tariffs is that I can pretty much avoid them. Not so much with income taxes.

How do you avoid the tariffs?

15% deal reached with Europe. 
 

I suppose we should be relieved that it’s not higher, which would truly have wrecked our economy. 15% is not good though. It’s still going to be a painful tax that will hurt us. It will eventually be passed on to the consumer. And for what?

It’s revenue for the US Govt passed on as cuts to US income taxes. That was an easy question to answer.

Other than maybe gutterboy, is there anyone on this site that is dumber at economics than this guy? 

And maybe squid and mdpee? I mean, liberals in general know absolutely nothing about money. Maybe that's why they are all so broke and looking for government handouts.

I'm waaaay better of.  I'll pay an extra $100 for my next dishwasher if I need to. That's nothing.  

And keep interest rates high too, that only affects the poor.

Bill Maher ‘wrong’ about Trump’s tariffs: ‘I gotta own it’

 Summarize

Asher NotheisJuly 28, 2025 12:00 pm

Maher cited Trump’s use of tariffs as an example, saying he was among “probably most people” who believed tariffs would have a negative effect on the nation, but “that didn’t happen.”

“But look, the stock market is at record highs. I know not everybody lives by the stock market, but I also drive around. I don’t see a country in a depression at all. I see people out there just living their lives,” Maher said Monday on his Club Random podcast.

I appreciate Bill Maher, he is an old school liberal.....he still possesses the ability to admit when he is wrong. 

I still find it baffling that so many people really cannot comprehend why this is all working so well. This is not hard to follow that Trump was working this masterfully....

I do not agree with this.  That money should be spent to pay down our debt, or be provided to military veterans in need before we do this crap.  

Moreover, the amount is not too much but this is an inflationary move.
