Four Republican senators helped Democrats pass a resolution Wednesday that would effectively repeal President Trump's tariffs on Canada.

Why it matters: The vote shows how deeply concerned some Republicans are about Trump's tariff policies, just as he rolls out even steeper tariffs on U.S. imports.



Never thought I would agree with Rand Paul or Mitch McConnell on anything

Why wouldn't you agree with RINOs? They certainly don't want anything to interfere with the gravy train, just like you dimtards.
 
Rand Paul is a RINO? :lol:
At one time, tariffs were how the country raised all of the revenue. It was a tax, as it is now on the poor and the working class.

Then the people got tired of watching the wealthy industrialists live like kings, while they suffered, with Senators having their backs, while getting wealthy themselves. ( Sound Familiar? ).

Then this happened....



Trump actually believes he has the popular support to repeal all of it. It's the ultimate goal of the Project 2025 delusion, that only exists in the minds of billionaires.

Trump is getting ready to lose, and lose big. How the poor MAGAT's of USMB will deal with it, is going to be quite the scene.

Kookbot drivel. In your mind our "allies" can screw us over with tariffs but no way we can push back with our own. What a commie attitude skrewey!
 
"I have a question for those of you who claim that an easy and good way for Americans to avoid paying U.S. tariffs is to “buy American” and produce more things here at home: If your town managed to impose tariffs on groceries sold at your supermarket, would you think, “No problem! I can escape these higher prices simply by raising my own chickens, growing my own wheat, and manufacturing my own toilet tissue. I’ll have more employment and be richer!”?"

Conservative economist Veronique de Rugy

Maybe this is just a 15D chess negotiating tactic on Trumps part...maybe?

No maybe about it, but its 15D chess that takes years between moves...
 
The stock market dropping day after day now, will be the single thing that forces change.
We will either get an equal playing field with other nations, or we will be forced to back off.
One way or another, politically, these sell offs every day, cannot continue.

This resolution doesn't effectively do Jack shit. It's totally symbolic and does nothing to stop Trump's plan.

If the house voted for it.
And Trump signed it.
As both of these things will not happen, this Senate resolution is simple virtue signalling.

And it's a virtue worth signaling. Maybe people will wake up
 
Most Republicans lack the courage to acknowledge the fact that Trump’s tariffs are idiotic and harmful.

Most Dimocrats like the fact that we pay higher tariffs than many of the countries we trade with.

How to tell us, you’re an economic idiot without using the words.

You’re prepared to take the word of a failed businessman, who went bankrupt seven times and who is never successfully run a business, in how to run the world’s economy.

There isn’t a single credible economist in the world who is endorsing this insanity.

What happens when the rest of the world’s economies start selling off all of the American debt and refuse to buy your treasury bonds?

If Tryna stopped buying your treasury bonds, they could bring you to your knees in a month. But Trump is such an economic idiot, that all he sees is dollar signs that he can rake in doling out his “exceptions”.

Trump is telling you that you can run the US economy on tariffs but if his strategy is successful in all of this manufacturing does come back to the United States and your imports shrink to zero. There will be no tariffs coming in.

Reality!! What a concept!
 
Any of you Einstein's have a (real) solution for reducing our debt, and get
an even playing field with tariffs?? (Don't give me the fucking, "tax the rich" BS)
Anyone?
At least Trump has an idea that could actually work given more time than
the two fucking days you twits have given him.

What we are not ready to do, is listen to someone from Canada, one of the biggest cesspools of failed liberal ideology.
