trump Flips.... Big Tme.

[Vandalshandle]

The Trump trade wars, and tariffs are on their way, which is why I sold 100% of my stock over a week ago. I'm a pragmatic guy. Since Trump is going to fuck us over economically, bigly, I am going to take advantage of the best equity buying opportunity to come our way since the financial markets collapsed due to under regulation, under Baby Bush.

Start buying stock in water. Right now clean water is more valuable than gold.

You're getting your "news" from those fake news sources.

Tariffs are all but gone. You are the ignorant one fool. I guess you havent heard of the trade imbalance or offshoring. The only reason companys leave is because of the removal of tariffs, it is more profitable for the company to go offshore. The removal of tariffs make it profitable. Read my signature.

North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)













WRITE A COMMENT

Globalization

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a treaty entered into by the United States, Canada, and Mexico; it went into effect on January 1, 1994. (Free trade had existed between the U.S. and Canada since 1989; NAFTA broadened that arrangement.) On that day, the three countries became the largest free market in the world-;the combined economies of the three nations at that time measured $6 trillion and directly affected more than 365 million people. NAFTA was created to eliminate tariff barriers to agricultural, manufacturing, and services; to remove investment restrictions; and to protect intellectual property rights. This was to be done while also addressing environmental and labor concerns (although many observers charge that the three governments have been lax in ensuring environmental and labor safeguards since the agreement went into effect). Small businesses were among those that were expected to benefit the most from the lowering of trade barriers since it would make doing business in Mexico and Canada less expensive and would reduce the red tape needed to import or export goods.

Highlights of NAFTA included:

• Tariff elimination for qualifying products. Before NAFTA, tariffs of 30 percent or higher on export goods to Mexico were common, as were long delays caused by paperwork. Additionally, Mexican tariffs on U.S.-made products were, on average, 250 percent higher than U.S. duties on Mexican products. NAFTA addressed this imbalance by phasing out tariffs over 15 years. Approximately 50 percent of the tariffs were abolished immediately when the agreement took effect, and the remaining tariffs were targeted for gradual elimination. Among the areas specifically covered by NAFTA are construction, engineering, accounting, advertising, consulting/management, architecture, health-care management, commercial education, and tourism.
• Elimination of nontariff barriers by 2008. This includes opening the border and interior of Mexico to U.S. truckers and streamlining border processing and licensing requirements. Nontariff barriers were the biggest obstacle to conducting business in Mexico that small exporters faced.
• Establishment of standards. The three NAFTA countries agreed to toughen health, safety, and industrial standards to the highest existing standards among the three countries (which were always U.S. or Canadian). Also, national standards could no longer be used as a barrier to free trade. The speed of export-product inspections and certifications was also improved.

Tariff Elimination
Under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), tariffs on virtually all originating goods traded between Canada and Mexico were eliminated in 2008, with the exception of Canadian agricultural goods in the dairy, poultry, egg and sugar sectors (which are exempt from tariff elimination).

Elimination of Tariffs under the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement
Tariffs on qualifying goods traded between Canada and the United States became duty free on January 1, 1998, in accordance with the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA) which was carried forward under NAFTA for goods traded between Canada and the United States.

• Canada-United Stated Tariff Elimination (PDF* Document, 9.8MB)

Accelerated Elimination of Tariffs Under the NAFTA
Article 302(3) of the NAFTA provides for the elimination of tariffs earlier than scheduled, subject to consultation and agreement between the three governments. Since the implementation of the NAFTA in 1994 there have been three rounds of accelerated tariff elimination. The first round took place in 1997 for products traded between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico and the second and third rounds took place in 1998 and 2002 for products traded between Canada and Mexico.

Graph: Share of tariff revenues in U.S. Federal budget.

Tariffs in United States history have played important roles in trade policy, political debates and the nation's economic history. The main goal of the tariff was money to pay the federal budget.[citation needed] Controversy arose over whether manufacturing interests were favored and consumer interests hurt by high tariffs. The 1st United States Congress, wanting a straightforward tax that was not too onerous and easy to collect, passed the Tariff Act of 1789. Treasury agents collected the tariff before goods could be landed, and what became the Coast Guard prevented smuggling. Tariffs were the largest (approaching 95% at times) source of federal revenue until the Federal income tax began after 1913. For well over a century the federal government was largely financed by tariffs averaging about 20% on foreign imports. There are no tariffs for imports or shipments from other states. Since the 1940s, foreign trade policies have focused more on reciprocal tariffs and low tariff rates rather than using tariffs as a significant source of Federal tax revenue. The goal of using higher tariffs to promote industrialization was urged by the first Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, and after him the Whig Party. They generally failed because Jeffersonian and Jacksonian Democrats said the tariff should be only high enough to pay the government's bills; otherwise, it would hurt the consumers. The Republicans, however, made high tariffs the centerpiece of their economic policy beginning in 1861, and as late as 1930. Since 1930, tariffs have not been a major political issue.

"to pay the budget". What? Your not a fiscal conservative?

trump is going to finish the job obama started for the ruling elite. What a bunch of fools.

You and your ilk certainly are. Constant non stop lying. Don't you have anything else to do other then spend all day on the internet lying out your ass about stuff you know nothing about?

No. Trump is the guy who lies non-stop. You're just too smitten with the idea of a white supremicist in the White House, you swallow his lies, hook line and sinker.

Liberals are smart enough to question anything anyone in politics tells them. Republicans think that Republicans never lie to them, when Republicans lie because they have no real plans or competent ideas.

That has be the most ignorant thing I've heard today.

Heard? I didn't say it, I typed it. That's the problem with the alt-right. There's so much they just can't comprehend, and don't want to. Anything close to the truth and they stick their fingers in their ears and sing "lalalalalala I can't hear you".

There are none so deaf as those who will not hear.

There's nothing as tone deaf as getting the elections so wrong for so long. LOL. You have nothing but hate and spewage to offer and it didn't sell this time, so let's not overlook that particular detail.

And which of the two weren't going to do that? Seriously, they are the 1%ers and you think they won't protect the 1%ers?

Lol!

So, you think I am a clinton voter....lol....thats funny. Try reading some of my posts to find out what I am about. Then just sit there and feel stupid.

Did I say you were a Clinton supporter? The point was with the two mainstream candidates we would get the same thing.

I haven't read any of your posts, nor do I care to or need to. You are not important to me in my life. I'm here only to be entertained and you don't seem to be entertaining. Take care douche.

I didn't claim you were or are a Trump supporter, do you just think of stupid stuff to post and post it? I'd like you to post it if I did, but I didn't you won't find it. Feel free to keep posting lies.

Ok, Ive read all my posts and I have to tell you...I found no mistakes or inaccuracies but you just keep flailing away. Sooner or later you might catch me in a mistake but unlike you, if proved wrong, I will capitulate and acquiesce. I have a logical, reasonable mind with the main object being a comprehensively healthy US and THATS why I have no party.

I see you have reading comprehension issues. I forgive you for being stupid. I don't belong to a party either. Try reading some of my posts to find out what I am about. Then just sit there and feel stupid.
