Do you remember back in the olden days when republicans were in lust with the "free market" and would have cut their own throats before they did a damned thing to stop the hemorrhage of jobs going overseas? That was the time to have a trade war we could have won. Now that we have far less leverage Trump is picking a fight with a foe that has been preparing for this moment for decades. This is going to hurt.How the hell are they in better shape than us when their entire economy is based on shipping to us? Our exports aren't going anywhere. Theirs are ruined if we put tariffs on them. There's no dangerous game. You just need to have the balls to hang in there and not let them run over us.China can endure a level of economic pain far beyond what we can. Trump is playing a dangerous game with an adversary that has designed it's economy to be a weapon. We do not stand a chance of coming out of this with anything resembling a win.
I’m right here. What are you getting at? Wait a minute, you’re not going all ‘Internet tough guy,’ are you? Have a little more dignity than that.
Son you can keep running.
This isn't about everyone else. I'm the one who knows what you aren't.
And all your irrational ranting has what exactly to do with China and the global economy?
You're running kid. I'm good. Again, this is about you and I. You're trying to drag everyone else into it.
You have my PM's, you decline to tell me where you are.
It's all good, you aren't the first to run.
Where are we running to? China? I haven't been there in a while. Anyplace special? It's a big country; lots to see, nice people.
Keep running kid.
Of course they'll take a hit. It's no different than demanding a $15 minimum wage. A tariff does the same thing. It adds costs to doing business. How are the Chinese going to absorb those costs?I didn't see anyone say that. Stocks are down because the companies relying on the cheap labor of China are going to take a hit on their profits with the tariffs. So what? Do you want fair trade and jobs here or high stock prices with a welfare state?Last week, Trump said that if China doesn't improve on trade, he was going to increase the tariffs from 10 percent to 25 percent.
On Monday, the stock market opened at around 400 points in the negative, but was able to climb back to close just 65 points down.
Today? Major loss on the stock market. It dropped 473 points, and closed at 25,965.
That is because Trump opened his big fat pie hole again. And his sheep on this forum keep telling me the market stagnation is not because of the stupid trade war.
They will not take a hit, prices will go up and Americans will pay more. A tariff is just a fancy name for a tax

You've got me there...It's much better to pay more taxes...ooops, sorry, tariffs...to the government.Aren't you the same people that want $15 dollar an hour minimum wages? Isn't that making Americans pay more?Forcing Americans to pay more for stuff will teach those Chinese a thing or two!
MAGA!
I do remember those days.

I agree. But we're going to have to do something to get rid of both. Like killing off socialism in WWII it's going to take a short term sacrifice. At least this time it's just on the financial books instead of people.Of course they'll take a hit. It's no different than demanding a $15 minimum wage. A tariff does the same thing.

I do not support any minimum wage nor do I support tariffs.

Holy shit. A left winger is upset people have to pay more to the government. Maybe we can just raise taxes on the Chinese and make them pay their fair share.You've got me there...It's much better to pay more taxes...ooops, sorry, tariffs...to the government.Aren't you the same people that want $15 dollar an hour minimum wages?

We can win this trade war easily. If people like you can find the balls to fight it. It may hurt short time. Wars are like that. If you don't surrender though you can win and everything gets much better. Let Trump do what he needs to do to fix this and suck it up for a while. If not then we have your surrender letter in your post.
China is our biggest concern...Diane Feinstein had a Chinese spy as an office manager...maybe we need to check all of the dems staff.....
Sadly...no...lolYou've got me there...It's much better to pay more taxes...ooops, sorry, tariffs...to the government.Aren't you the same people that want $15 dollar an hour minimum wages? Isn't that making Americans pay more?
(smile) Sure thing kid.
You need to learn the quote feature kid.
You seem to call everyone "kid." Are you from a bad 1940s gangster film?
Keep running boi.
Does anyone over the age of 13 spell "boy" as "boi"?
Yeah what he said....^^^^^You guys are WASTING YOUR TIME. The left on this board are not mature enough for this discussion
They can't afford a trade war interupting that. It hurts them far more than it does us having a t-shirt cost an extra dollar.Of course they'll take a hit.

The key to China's economic future lies in the maturity of a domestically-consuming middle class. If they get that firmly in place, the cheap labor shifts southeast and China becomes an even more valuable trade partner to the US.
Isn't it past your bed time? Have your mommy give you the cookie and tuck you in.You've got me there...It's much better to pay more taxes...ooops, sorry, tariffs...to the government.Aren't you the same people that want $15 dollar an hour minimum wages?
