Congratulations America You've Been Scammed

What else did you expect from a scam artist?


While Americans are feeling queasy about a violently gyrating stock market that reacts on a daily basis to the reckless and clueless actions of an unbalanced and irrational President, there’s nothing that will quite prepare them for the shock they’re going to receive over the next couple years, thanks to the Republican Party’s tax giveaway to the nation’s wealthiest that Trump signed into law last December.

But Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman is here to tell them. And the news is not good.

So you go out for dinner with a wealthy acquaintance. “I’ll take care of everything,” he says, and orders you a hamburger. Then he orders himself an expensive steak and a bottle of wine, which he doesn’t share. And when the waiter comes with the check, he points at you and says, “Charge it to his credit card.”

Now you understand the essence of the Trump tax cut, signed into law a little over two months ago.

Krugman: Congratulations America, You've Been Scammed.
We get scammed every 4 years.

It's the same result either way, dope.
Any increase to the production cost will be passed on to the consumer.

If the steel is not imported it will cost the same as before dummy.

Increased tariffs, increase in taxes, cut government spending are the way out of our current debt problem.

We have had it easy for far too long, time to take responsibility.

Yes, dope. More expensive than the foreign steel before tariffs.

No matter how you slice it, the tariffs will raise the cost of goods and will ultimately cost more jobs than it saves.

So it cost more, the tariffs will help reduce the deficit, if we would cut spending, but we won’t do that will we.

Higher tariffs, higher taxes and less government spending is the way out of our current situation. It’s time to take responsibility and pay down our debt.

Sure didn't sound that way when Obama was adding 1.25 trillion a year to the national debt and printing FAUX money at the tune of 4.5 trillion... Why now?

Yes. Everything made from steel and aluminum just went up substantially. Say goodbye to your $1200 dollar tax break.

I’m also willing to bet that the price of imported steel won’t go up 25%, more like 10% at the most as foreign sellers will settle for less profit.

We should have been doing this for decades, I have always been against government spending and since we are so far in debt, I believe raising taxes is also needed. I have been a fiscal conservative my whole life. That is why it pisses me off when supposed fiscal conservatives lower taxes and raise spending, it isn’t a smart and someday we will pay big time.

That is because of your politics, you can’t be positive until a Democrat is voted in, just as Republicans can’t be happy unless a Republican is President. I find the mentality fascinating.

This only makes everything worse. The last thing we need at this point in the business cycle is artificial inflation.

Yes. Everything made from steel and aluminum just went up substantially. Say goodbye to your $1200 dollar tax break.

My tax break isn’t more than that however, we needed to raise taxes and cut government spending, not the other way around. Tariffs will also help counter the debt.

No. I can't be positive because it's a horrible idea. You obviously have no understanding of the consequences.

Trump gave you a tax cut and then turns around and implements a policy that will raise the cost of everything thereby negating any gains you just made.

Then what do we do? Our debt is going to ruin us, running up the debt, will eventually hurt our bond ratings, when that happens interest rates will increase and inflation will over run us and then the middle class will be severely crippled and ran into extinction.

What is you answer? Ignore it?

This has nothing to do with debt. Trump believes he is rebuilding American manufacturing.

I was showing you what to expect for yourself.
