Trump's Tariffs & higher prices for Gas

If Trumpeteers don't mind paying more for stuff because they support Trump's Tariffs

Why is it a crime if others support paying $10 dollars per gallon for regular Gas/Petrol?

Trump bragged that “China is paying us billions of dollars in tariffs.” Treasury, he added, is collecting “tremendous amounts of money, which is great for our country.” - What Is A Tariff And Who Pays It?

China Trade War: What Is A Tariff And Who Pays It?

Will Trump’s new tariffs generate a big boost in federal revenue?

The short answer is: No.

Import taxes are a trivial share of federal revenue and, even with Trump’s new tariffs, they will remain insignificant. The president says the U.S. has collected about $22 billion since his first round of tariffs earlier this year. That may be high. But even if it isn’t, keep in mind that the government expects to collect $2.4 trillion in tax revenue in 2018--making $22 billion loose change in the fiscal sofa cushions.

Worse, the new revenue is likely to be temporary as U.S. importers and sellers find suppliers not subject to the tariff. Unfortunately, the tax on consumers in the form of those higher prices is less likely to disappear.​

Just trying to figure out who is principled, who is a partisan hack, and who is clueless to the startling disconnect in many arguments and attacks.

Well, they're just fine paying more for their health care to pay for those who can't afford it.

This China deal had better happen pretty soon. Markets aren't going to wait forever.

/---/ No we don't want to pay more for stuff but we are in a trade war where China has been ripping us off for years. Now if you were keeping up with the News you'd know that democRATs have jumped on the trade imbalance bandwagon:
Democrats Add Trade Reforms To Their New Economic Agenda | HuffPost
“Nothing is more central to creating jobs and increasing take home pay, than rewriting our backward trade laws that have put foreign workers ahead of American workers, that have put big multinational corporations ahead of the needs of hardworking average American families,” Upchuck Schumer said.

Schumer’s vow to put “American workers first” arguably echoed Trump’s promise to put “America First” in his inaugural address.

I have no idea where you live but in most of the U.S. Fuel prices have dropped. So what in the world are you talking about? Do you have any clue what a trade war is and why it is even necessary? Companies hire lawyers all the time to fight patent infringement cases. Yet China has been able to steal intellectual property unimpeded. Do you consider that right? Considering some of the things I have seen you post besides this thing I would say you have no problem with theft. Do you think it is right that we charge only a small amount for China to import things into the U.S. while China charges us much more to import our products. You probably don't care. You probably only care about your immediate gratification and what it costs you.

Continue on your crazy way.

/-----/ "Trump's Tariffs & higher prices for Gas"
Now Libs want cheaper gas? Tell the states to stop raising gas taxes. Cut the Federal gas tax.

All I could think of is Huh? on the gasoline bit. Gas prices have been dropping like an anchor in the bay around here, and he's flinging fecal matter about high prices and conservatives don't care about high prices? Can you say mind under matter? lmao

Slapping tariffs on oil doesn’t do much to bring jobs back to the states. Tariffs on manufactured goods does.

really? in what significant numbers? have a ballpark figure you'd like to throw out there?

 

[Vandalshandle]

The price of automobiles, and anything using steel or aluminum is going up. Trumpettes don't care. However, if they ever figure out that the word "tariff" is another word for "tax", there will be trouble in Trumpland.

Millions of jobs if we stick to it. Why do you think China and the EU use them?
