And there were 522,000 military deaths in WWI and WWII.

WW

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that was minuscule to the number of American fatalities in the civil war. Run along with your irrelevant BS.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Nice bumper sticker, but lets look at reality. We live in a time of a global economy. Even "American" products us materials sourced internationally (from steel, aluminum, to plastics, to electronics).

An "American" Ford car contains on average 40-50% internationally sources materials/parts. Then you have winter fruits and vegetables. The vast majority of goods sold today are impacted by tariffs.

Another example is Pot Ash which is major component of fertilizer, the US imports 80% of it's Pot Ash utilization from Canada. A tariff on Canadian goods means that American farmers pay more to grow food and agricultural produces in America.

And it's simple supply/demand - If you can avoid direct tariffs on foreign products, that places a higher demand on "American" products increased demand means higher prices.

Then of course if Trump deports all the illegal aliens (which I'm not against BTW) the reality is that you are going to see major impacts in food production, meaning higher costs for "American" food. Let alone impacts on construction and other sectors where employers illegally hire.

I guess you never considered selective tariffs with exemptions for needed items.

Of course I have. But that's not what Trump was going to do.

[Concerned American]

WW

You haven't the slightest idea what Trump was going to do beyond the extremist howling that the democrats have told you. Unbelievable that you are doubling down after the train wreck that was the last four years.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Of course I have. But that's not what Trump was going to do.

WW

So you can now read his mind? He hasn't implemented any tariffs on Canada yet. Your TDS is flaring up!

Not the slightest idea?

Did you forget that Trump imposed the tariffs we're talking about before realizing it was a bad idea and rescinded his own EO?

That's not why he rescinded it
Why do lie? It the TDS isn't it?

Please demonstrate Trump suspended the tariffs because he "realized it was a bad idea".
Be sure to provide cites for the quotes to that effect.

 

[WorldWatcher]

He rescinded the tariffs because of the political heat he was getting about how they would impact American consumers.

Logically speaking if they were a good idea, he'd have kept them in place.

WW

 

[M14 Shooter]

He rescinded the tariffs because...

So... you don't have any actual proof of your claim, just your "must have" interpretation of his actions.
Got it.
Thanks.

I’d be OK with that as long as we reduce all the handouts to able-bodied people who refuse to work full-time jobs.

There is something blatantly unfair overcharging hard-working taxpayers struggling to get by so Dems can throw away hundreds of billions of dollars - and yet handing out all sorts of freebies to entitled welfare recipients, no questions asked. Have you seen the videos where grown adults are screaming that they won’t be getting $1000+ in food stamps unless they get a job?!

The average food stamp payout is $202 per adult per month, for children it is less per child. This is 2024 costs.

Where in the world do you get $1000 a month? And Adults without children do not usually qualify, for any amount.

The single mothers with four babies and three baby daddies are getting around $1000 a month, tax-free. And these mothers are all over the place in the DC area (and probably other cities as well). When they see that they are aging out of the system, they just get pregnant again.

And that of course says nothing about the TANF they get, as well as Medicaid for all five of them.

We are $35t in debt. We cannot afford to give $1000 a month tax-free to every single mother with four kids. Five, and they get $1200. You do not need $1000 a month to feed a newborn, an 18-month-old, a 3-year-old, and a 4-year old.

They gave help to asylum seekers, and they are not illegals until they have been denied asylum by a court...

 

[Lisa558]

….or fail to show for their hearing, or refuse to leave when they are denied asylum.

The problem is these undesirables are exploiting the system, as their claims are bogus 90% of the time. This is not the type of people we want here - liars, who suck of the American taxpayers.

You wouldn't last five minutes in the business world. How many of those threatened tariffs have you seen implemented? None on anyone but China who has had tariffs of one sort or another put on their goods for decades. Now, why have you not said anything about the successes of Trump's negotiations with Venezuela, Panama and NATO? I know why. It is because you have your TDS blinders on and your democrat masters haven't told you that you could. Now run along junior.

Increasing wages for average workers does not increase inflation nor would giving each person 5 grand.

There are 262,000,000 adults in the use. If we say that 1/2 pay taxes that's 131,000,000.

Times $5000

Thats $655,000,000,000 ($655 Billion) injected in the economy overnight. As we saw with both the Trump and Biden COVID relief payments injecting that kind of cash into the economy is inflationary.
