Trump tariffs are going to cost Americans an average of $2000 in 2020

[OnePercenter]

Same as everyone, opportunity of the tariff threat. tRump made that happen.

No,explain why your product went up.

Opportunity of the tariff threat. tRump made that happen.

Aaaah...so you're a thief with no explanation as to why you raised your prices.
I call bullshit.
You're no more a business man than obama.

I'm a capitalist racketeer like tRump.

Nah you're a liar.
You're not fit to run a kool aid stand.

You can't refute my hypothesis?

 

[OnePercenter]

I expect that the research group that came up with the number quoted in the OP is bogus propaganda by anti-Trump loons...but even if correct, I will pay it.

Something must be done about China.

Even such a moron as Chuck Schumer realizes that.

You can't do anything with China, there's to much US investment.

Is this what winning looks like? Did you notice that even a dummy like Bush wasn’t stupid enough to create trade wars with China? He actually listened to advisors who understood what they were talking about.

The tariffs ‘eliminate all remaining economic gains from the administration’s deregulation actions’
The $2,031 number is higher than other estimates because tariffs keep increasing.

In May, the New York Fed estimated a $831 cost to households from tariffs. J.P. Morgan estimated that tariffs that went into effect on September 1 would cost American households up to $1,000 per year. Additional tariffs on China went into effect on October 1, and more tariffs are set to kick in on December 15.

“If all tariffs threatened by the Trump administration are imposed, combined with the current tariffs in place, the annual cost to U.S. consumers would be $461.1 billion and the cost for the average household would be $3,614,” the report stated.

Trump tariffs are set to cost U.S. households $2,000 in 2020, research group finds

Nonsense. The tariffs have hurt China's exports so badly that China was forced to devalue its currency, making imports from China cheaper to US importers and allowing them to maintain their profit margins without having to raise prices to consumers. I know you were hoping for a lot of suffering but it is just not going to happen.

 

[Vandalshandle]

Of course wholesalers will swallow the tariff costs. Don't all wholesalers have over a 30% profit margin that they can use for that purpose?

/——/
Reasonable Markup to Distributors - tom-gray.com

Wholesaler markups average 20% and will not exceed 30-40%, according to The Average ProfitMargin for Wholesale | Small Business - Chron.com.

There is one hell of a difference between "Markup" and "Profit margin". You obviously have never owned a business of your own.

/—-/ Yes I know the difference between mark up and margin since I was in the business for decades. Geeeze give it up already.

Sorry, but if you think that wholesalers have 30% excess profit lying around with which to absorb Trump's tariffs, I have to believe that the closest you ever came to owning a business was passing 9th grade practical math, which you have apparently forgotten..

 

[Vandalshandle]

You do realize that until Obama got elected, many leading Democrats vocally supported protectionism/higher tariffs, especially on China, right? Even under Obama, some Democrats, such as Chuck Schumer, openly called for a strongly protectionist trade policy toward China.

If tariffs are so bad, how did the U.S. become the world's leading economic powerhouse during all those decades when we had an ardently high-tariff trade policy? How'd that happen? How have and other nations prospered while following a high-tariff trade policy?

But now, reflexively, robotically, most Democrats whine about Trump's America-first high-tariff trade policy just because he's the one doing it.

Well, now, seeing as how America is the "world's leading economic powerhouse", one has to wonder:
1. Why Trumpettes feel that it is necessary to "Make America Great", and
2. Why the" world's greatest economic powerhouse" needs to start a trade war with China, and
3. Why isn't all the federal revenue from tariff taxes distributed back to the people who ultimately paid it to the government, the consumers?

Why do you hate good Union jobs?

.

I haven't the slightest idea of what you are talking about, but I find comfort in my secure knowledge that you don't either.

Interesting how things made in Vietnam are acceptable but not things made in China.

Vietnam has an actual Communist government, which is one of the reasons we are not supposed to like China.

We have a trade deficit with Vietnam, which we are told is bad when it comes to China.

They have tariffs on our products, which is bad when China does it.

But fear not Trumpers, Vietnam might be Trump’s next target for more tariffs.

So, Trump's tariffs are all about China's unfair trade practices, right? So, all those things that you buy where the price is up 30% because of Trump's punishment of china is good, even though the money came out of your pocket, right? So, why isn't trump returning that money to you in the form of income tax credits? Wow! is it because he intends for the government to keep the taxes that you paid for China?

NAWWWWWW!! He will return it to you as soon as Mexico sends him a check for the wall.

 

[mikegriffith1]

I'll ask again: If a high-tariff policy is so bad, how has China prospered by imposing sky-high tariffs? How did the U.S. become an economic powerhouse when we followed a high-tariff policy from Lincoln thru Ike?

And, how is a U.S. company supposed to compete with a Third World company that can pay its worker dirt wages with few if any benefits? Pay our workers dirt wages and cut their benefits? How is a U.S. company supposed to compete with a company in an industrialized nation that subsidizes that company and protects its prices with tariffs?

The value of high tariffs/protectionism used to be widely and commonly understood--until both parties largely adopted the globalist free trade agenda of no economic borders. If an open physical border is a bad idea, how is an open trade border a good idea? Thank goodness Trump has come along and broken that suicidal paradigm.
