Fallout From Tariff Smackdown

[candycorn]

I've said we need tariffs for over a decade. You're talking to the wrong cracker here.

And even after the tariffs, prices have not come down, manufacturing has not returned, we're bailing out our farmers yet again.

As for any of that being good for America? It's not.
You know what is? Being self-sufficient.

Well the economic indicators from top to bottom prove you're wrong. But don't facts stand in the way of your idiocy; you never have.

Also not letting foreign entities take advantage of us.
Yeah, which is what you seem to be advocating for. Why?

Okay...who is taking advantage of us--the largest economy in the world?

I think your decaying brain matter is in need of another washing.

Ever notice how he doesn't ever name anyone specific? That's because what he is saying didn't happen.

Talk about it all you want. Doesn't change that Taxation and the Budget are powers of Congress.



Correct.



Correct.



No, thats what the Constitution says.

"Like Washington, Alexander Hamilton—the first US Secretary of the Treasury—was a fierce defender of tariffs and subsidies that were essential for the development of domestic manufacturing, including arms production, and for national security."

TRT World - From George Washington to Donald Trump: The history of US tariffs

US Founding Fathers saw tariffs as necessary to making their young republic economically independent from Britain and other powers. Now, Trump appears to share a similar outlook—this time, against China.

Tariffs were around before America was officially a country.

Oh no, that happened, and then some.

 

[candycorn]

Okay give us some names.

You can't.
You won't.

My point proven once more.

Don't you ever get tired of being made to look like a fool?

 

[The Duke]

Yep.

Tariffs implemented by Congress under their power of the purse.

Except the Treasury is the Executive Branch.
They can set every other country's exchange rate compared to ours.
Take that, boy!
You wanna go that route? we can go that route.
It's all Constitutional then.

The majority of your beloved conservative judges in the Supreme Court concluded this was a tax on American consumers. That’s not foreign policy. Americans are not foreigners.

Most of them concluded the ACA was a tax, too, when it really was fascism.
I do believe Roberts was no..it was Kavanaugh who helped make that happen.

 

[candycorn]

Canada and China. Retard.

How are they taking advantage of us dickbreath?

 

[The Duke]

How are they taking advantage of us dickbreath?
