The above information is but a sample of the article given here. This article is excellent, as far as giving non-biased data and information as to what Trump's tariffs are likely to do. I recommend you read the entire article.
One thing for sure, and is stated in this article and the section shown above, it that this is a "BLUNT instrument for curing those ills"
This is exactly what I have been saying all along. Trump is incompetent and makes mistakes that are very costly. Imposing tariffs on some products is not a bad idea. Imposing across the board tariffs on all nations and on all goods is a "Blunt instrument" that is idiotic and will cause more and unnecessary problems than any that it will fix.
Since day one, I have stated that TRUMP (as a person) will cause chaos and destruction of our nation, and the results of this tariff war will begin to confirm my evaluation of Trump
The American economy is the greatest economy in the world. NOT the victim of the rest of the world. Who set up our bad trade deals that hurt American workers and benefited AMERICAN corporations who also do business abroad? Why aren't we blaming the ones who did this? Republicans use GLOBALIST to explain away the cognitive dissonance.
The global economy has a problem. The rich are taking over every country. They blame Government, immigrants, anyone except themselves for being the problem. Who's running our country? Billionaire businessmen? We're being played guys.
Yes, fix bad trade deals.
YES, tariff things you want to only manufacture at home.
But DON'T do what Trump is doing.
One of Trump's billionaire buddies he appointed, the one who said his mother in law wouldn't miss a ss check, said those manufacturing jobs will be automated and so we will need robot engineers to fix those robots. So really, how many jobs are we talking about here? Not much. So Republicans are manufacturing a crisis they aren't going to fix. Or diagnosing a problem and claiming this is going to fix it when it's not. They just want to bring manufacturing back home. So do it. But they want tax breaks too. Why? You want to come home. And we are tariffing you if you don't. So no need to also give you tax breaks.
The fact is, we are the richest country in the world. The problem is the richest people in this country aren't paying the poorest enough. WE aren't getting our fair share. The solution, unions. Last year unions got big raises. Healthcare, writers, UAW, dock workers and soooo many other unions. They demanded a raise and got them. With Biden's support. Things were getting better.
Trump said if Kamala won we'd have a crash. Well, he won, and we have a crash. And he can't blame anyone but himself for this one. And don't brag when the stock market goes back to where it was 2 weeks ago. We've lost a shit ton of money. What's the goal here?
