Enough with the Trump tariffs are destroying the economy threads

[Votto]

Is there one country who does not employ tariffs?

No, yet we are all led to believe that Trump is destroying the world economy with his tariffs via Legacy media.

Are tariffs good for the economy? Not really, because it is just a tax and taxes never help an economy, which is why Trump and the GOP need to follow his tariffs with tax breaks for Americans to help improve the economy.

Tariffs are simply economic warfare between countries that everyone does.

In fact, Joe Biden even kept some of Trump's original tariffs when he took office. In fact, Joe Biden increased them.

Am I sold on tariffs? Not really, IO am sold on taxes about as much as I am tariffs, but like taxes they are there to feed the bureaucracy as world bureaucracies of various countries go to war with each other.

Now what really hurt the world economy was the Left shutting down the entire world economy while Joe Biden was in power, something no one will ever own.

Some real attempt to cope with the stupidity of Trump here.

Every country has tariffs, but for a long time now, the total burden of tariffs is a few percent.

Throwing 25% or more tariffs on everything is not what we’ve been doing and we don’t even know why he’s doing it.

Honestly, the biggest thing the economy is dealing with is having no idea what the plan here. Businesses and consumers are going to hold back in uncertain times. That leads to problems.

Nothing wrong with tariffs if done selectively in certain sectors

Trump has started a Trade War with the rest of the world and things will get worse.

And yes, we will start many threads on Trump destroying the economy

Canada has a scaling tariff schedule on US dairy that tops out at 250% or so.

A few percent?

The world economy shut down while Trump was President

The world economy shut down while Trump was President

It shut itself down due to COVID, and the shutdown lasted too long due to countries not realizing the initial mortality rates feared were found to be not so.

Canada has a 200 percent tariff on US dairy products

I’d love for them to only have a 25 percent one

If you weren’t so illiterate, you’d see that I mentioned the total burden of tariffs, and your tiny little brain is focusing on dairy.

That happens with a novel respiratory virus that humans have limited natural defenses against.

The thing is they rightly over-reacted when they thought the mortality rate was 3%-5% amongst the GENERAL population but failed to adjust once it was found to be mostly a threat to older people and people with existing morbidities.

I was refuting that comment.

dimocraps destroyed the world economy as well as many people, just so they could pull a fast-one and steal an election.

Everybody knows it. Even dimocrap scum know it, but they're like the little kid that stole a cookie and gives a defiant "Prove It!!" response when confronted with this misdeed.

What is the US tariff on imported dairy from Canada?

You should have tried refuting it with a coherent and logical statement.

it was all intentional against trump.

 

[struth]

What is the US tariff on imported dairy from Canada?

Right now nothing but trump has made clear he is willing to put reciprocal tariffs of 250 percent

You should try reading the initial point and the response before making yourself look foolish.

Yes, once a certain amount of imports are achieved. Very bad. Trump agreed to it when he negotiated the last tariff agreement.
