Are the tariffs issued by President Trump a constitutional issue

[Meister]

What is the economic boom for me (and everyone I know) if we have to pay more for just about everything?

Or, not.

I'd be wasting my time on you, and we both know it.

Believe what you will. You're just a Trumpster.

what every bullshit artist says when challenged. So you admit you're a bullshitter now. We already knew it. I knew you had nothing. panderer

Have a blissful day, son.

Bless your heart.

I swear I heard the auto folks saying they were going to provide cars at employee pricing? You miss that?

Or, not.

Or, not....what?

The reason it's made overseas is because it's a lot cheaper to do so, we don't have abundance of cheap labor.

Domestic labor is expensive and limited by the fact that we already have pretty much full employment.

why is that?

Given the tax breaks and incentives alone could really lower costs and
transfer lower costs to the consumer, along with creating more jobs.

But, the socialists and communists won't want to hear this.

What tax breaks? Did you look at our deficits? You are living in a fantasy land.

It's cheaper overseas, so its product is cheaper here.

Just go argue yourself. You cherry pick what was posted and disregard the rest, when it's part of the equation.
Run along Anton. You're not worthy of an honest discussion.

Yep, push you on the facts just a little bit and you fold like a toothpick.

Typical weak minded nutbag.

Fold like a toothpick? WTF.

I was so little. At a family gathering decades ago, and somehow Watergate came up. This was some years after Watergate and Nixon's resignation, and my Uncle said to my Dad, "Was that not wonderful!" I thought that was a strange reaction. He continued: "Our constitution works!"

Now we have "Liberation Day" and the tariffs. Senator Kennedy said yesterday, "We are dead," referring to the GOP. I hope not.

Well, we are in a far more serious situation now. This is a test of the founders' fundamental ideas. Does our constitution still work?

It's too soon to say.

AI Co-pilot references, "The U.S. Constitution does mention tariffs! The main references to tariffs appear in Article I, Section 8, which grants Congress the power to "lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises"—with tariffs being a type of duty or impost. This section essentially gives Congress the authority to regulate trade and generate revenue through tariffs on imported goods.

Additionally, Article I, Section 10 restricts individual states from imposing tariffs on imports or exports without Congressional approval. This ensures that trade policy remains a federal matter rather than being dictated by individual states.

The Constitution also establishes a foundation for the broader system of tariffs and trade regulation, but the specifics of U.S. tariff policy have evolved significantly over time through legislation."

I agree, and I thought this as well, but other president's have used tariffs and it didn't cause a ruckus.

Your right though, it is a congressional duty, it appears.

And why their reaction

Agent Orange's huge tariffs across almost all other nations is effectively a blockade of the U.S. Economy.

While the MAGGOTS keep saying that this is going to magically cause the U.S. economy to boom, historically blockades are used to destroy a nation's economy. I doubt there's a single instance in history of a blockade being good for a nation's economy.

Blockades are an act of war!

Krasnov has committed an act of war against the United States!

Per the U.S. Constitution:

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them..."

And why their reaction

Pulls away from their globalization aspirations

 

[CrusaderFrank]

So you're saying government interference in the free market is a good and necessary thing?

How is it a “free market” when we basically pay other nations to put tariffs on our goods, allowing them to subsidize their exports?

You think a free market exists with foreign countries that have more than tariffs on our exports?
