But I thought tariffs didn't increase prices!

[Hafar1014]

You mean people might not buy at 50% tariffs today because it might be 10% tomorrow ?
That is unnatural behaviour.
Borderline communism.

Inflation is slowing tariffs had a small effect on some prices. A study by the Atlanta Fed looked at tariffs over the past 100 years. They found demand dropped forcing prices down and increasing unemployment. Sone prices will increase but the main problem with prices are energy cost and government spending. Thats how Biden wrecked the economy and his price increases are still in effect

One of the most insane parts of this debacle is that, before Trump showed up, the rubes couldn't even tell you what a ******* tariff WAS. Who pays it. How it's paid. When it's paid. How it affects domestic and global macroeconomics. How it affects business planning, Forex and supply chains.

In fact, many of them STILL can't, as we see on this board every fuckin' day.

But Trump starts up the ******* global chaos, throwing the global trade and global supply chains into a ******* frenzy, alienating and irritating the living shit out of our (former) friends and trading partners, and suddenly The Following are all tariff experts who really care about tariffs 'n stuff, you betcha.

If we survive this madness, I swear, I will really try to laugh about it.

There are still posters om here who think China pays the tariffs.

Hillary Clinton's campaign sure caused a mess for Obama. Did you know this came from her own campaign, about Obama born in Kenya?

And then your cult ran with it.

And we all know why.

I saw a Trump post earlier that specifically said that the other countries are paying the tariffs. He just said that.

He's a blatant liar, and the flock believes him. They could easily check it out and find out that he's lying, but they don't want to do that.

Incredible.

Nope, Hillary's democrat cult ran with it. Her campaign pulled out the stops trying to stop Obama and she would inherit what Clinton did.

Well, you do not believe Tariffs cause rapid rises to housing costs then.

I just helped a friend understand that the $2,000 that President Trump is thinking of sending our way is not going to add to the national debt -- that it's going to come from tariffs, which made her a lot happier about the possibility of that money coming her way.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...........

She's thinking a bit differently about President Trump today. Girl got smarter today.

Forget it. You are too dumb to carry on a conversation about something you know nothing about. I'm done.

Wtf else are you talking about "things not made with parts"....anything "not made with parts" would have to be grown... geez.

Show me your list of 100% made in america not using ANY imported parts.. the list is going to be small.

 

[Correll]

Unfortunately for your cult, your concerns seemed to be a brown man's birth certificate and an insistence on a global baby eating cult controlling the democrats.

I'm not sure why you feel a need to talk shit...

but my point stands, the "reasonable people" like Mac1955, who whine about Trump's tariffs being too agressive or widereaching or what have you,

had decades when they could have done a more nuanced or targetted response to our concerns.


And instead they talked shit about "training" and just let our communities and populations get FUCKED.

So, now that we are in the middle of a peasant revolt, it is a little... retarded of them to whine about details, when their position was, for decades, to just let us get fucked.

I prefer that the money go toward reducing the national debt

My acquaintance is a left. She needs a new tattoo or some more facial hardware.

I doubt if I'd qualify, but if I do, I'll give it to a pro-life charity.

All nations use tariffs. America has $38T in debt.

Tariffs probably aren't going away and they have been helping bring some production back to the U.S.

Incredible.

Most importers are forced to lower their prices

Sometimes to just breaking even

That saves US consumers money

However when the product reaches the US its American consumers who pay the tariff

But at least the money stays in America instead of going to china
