BOOM!!!

Ben is wrong on tariffs. they are not directly related to budget deficits but they are indirectly related on the tax revenue side, especially since the U.S has much lower tariffs and means of obtaining import revenue. The lost revenue has to be borrowed to pay for your nations entitlements and really an increased dependence on government.

There are different schools of thought on the subject of course and varying degrees of belief, some believe they are not at all related, I'm not of this school of thought. I tend to agree with Trump and his team on most of these economic issues. There is one massive issue Ben doesn't address here, not surprising as he is smart but probably never struggled in his lifetime financially; Trump is focused on jobs.

Without question, more jobs means higher tax revenue and far less expenditures for the state. It also have a vital capitalist function of purchasing power of consumers to drive the market place.

More wingnut nonsense. If Trumpy and Republicans wanted to create more jobs and broaden the tax base we would have had an infrastructure bill passed over a year ago.

And Yet President Trump has done just that. Good, hey!!! Those "rust belt" jobs "not ever coming back" was "mis-spoked". lol

Greg

There is no infrastructure bill, dumbass. And those jobs haven’t come back.

Say again about those Manufacturing jobs???

Government jobs are not sustainable, you want private sector jobs.

If Ben Shapiro, you or anyone else thinks trade deficits don't mean anything, go tell China, Germany and other economies to help out there economies and absorb $800B a year in trade deficits as America does.

There are enough jobs to be had upgrading roads, rail, building new airports (which Trumpy promised - another lie), and expanding solar to last at least 10 years.

What other crap do you want to spew?

They haven’t come back. Ask the former Carrier employees.

Benyamin is a globalist.

 

[rightwinger]

He says that tariff's are taxes.

Yet, they somehow don't bring down the debt.

Brilliant analysis Shapiro. So I assume that the only way to pay down the debt is by magic then.

How would a tariff bring down debt?

They add to the price of goods

The tariff revenue goes into the U.S Treasury which can then either apply it directly to the deficit/debt, or, spend and decrease reliance on new debt.

The tariff, by the way, is paid by the company, if they choose to pass it on to the consumer that's their choice, consumers can decide if they will accept the higher price, or, go to a competitor, often a domestically manufactured product that doesn't have to pay the tariff.

How would sales tax bring down the debt?

It only increases prices of goods?

Ben Shapiro is a smart guy, and here he disagrees with the President.


So? Why should I care?

It is kind of shocking that this has to be explained.

Ben is a self-aggrandizing messenger. His ego befogs the daylight of truth. Not so boom. Not when the man is a ratings gigolo out for view and subscriber counts. The President must have insulted him personally. That, or more views were to be had that week playing devil's advocate. However, the reliability you assign Ben's opinion is touching.

 

[Kondor3]

Tariffs are not supposed to be 'better trade deals'.

Tariffs are a metaphorical explosive charge to be used in economic warfare.

They are not supposed to 'help' the American taxpayer, or American business, in the short run.

They are metaphorical charge of dynamite to break the logjam of trade-imbalance.

People are gonna get hurt when the charge detonates, and will be hurting for some time to come afterwards.

Whether it breaks the lobjam... whether that any of that ultimately does any good or not... all remains to be seen.

Farmers are already hurting. Prices are going up on everything that comes in a can. Pork producers can’t sell their product overseas and are losing their asses. There’s such a glut, Costco has pork loins for $1.49 per lbs.

When an (metaphorical) explosive charge is needed to break the logjam, and the charge cannot be shaped, there are going to be casualties, before the dam breaks.

I think he’s marginally intellectual. But compared to Trumpy he’s a fucking giant.

 

[Billy000]

Ben Shapiro is a stupid moron who should avoid saying anything about taxes, deficits, or the economy.

Oh gee how convenient. Shapiro has all of a sudden become a “stupid moron” to the right. How adorable.

Ben Shapiro is obviously a genius.

But in this case, he has allowed his emotional investment to Free Market Principles to cloud his analysis.


He is overly focused on Trade and undervaluing the positive of a wealth gain by the working poor and middle class.


And only a fool would deny that Trump is at least, very intelligent.

 

[Mac1958]

Uh oh, looks like ol' Ben is persona non grata now.

Agree with Trump, or there's something wrong with you!

 

[harmonica]

''boom''' -- what does that mean??
they should've put tariffs in place decades ago
Trump winning
BOOM
Trump is finally a non-politically correct POTUS
BOOM
Trump MAGA/protecting the border
BOOM
3 booms to your one ...ahahahhahahahahah

The uber conservative National Review is a fan:

Ben Shapiro Is the Future of American Conservatism | National Review


(((((WARNING TO TRUMPANZEES......several lines of reading ahead....Ah-ooooo-gah.....Ah-oooo-gah....WARNING.....)

""""""""""""The rise of Ben Shapiro points to a conservatism that embraces the communications technologies of the Internet age, emphasizes the rights of life and speech and religion and self-defense, is familiar with and comfortable in the crazy blender of American popular culture, and is caustic in its opposition to socialism and bureaucratic control.

A critic of Trump throughout the 2016 campaign, Shapiro has nonetheless come to occupy something of a middle position within the universe of conservative opinion: critical of President Trump’s behavior, but also willing to applaud Trump when his policies advance constitutional freedom. Shapiro is someone that both Trump’s right-leaning opponents and right-minded friends respect. Even a few liberals are willing to entertain his ideas — until they are shamed into denouncing him, of course."""

Do you even understand what is going on here?
