Walmart Says It's Raising Prices Because of Trump's Tariffs

[Dr. Phosphorous]

It isn’t a “technical difference”, moron.

One is perfectly legal, the other is a felony.

And they're both bad for the country....which is what I care about.

But you only care about wasting your life as a lightweight MAGA troll incapable of a mature, honest, intelligent discussion.

 

[playtime]

can any trump humper please 'splain that if donny is instructing walmart to 'eat the tariffs' ... how does that jive with his lie that china pays the tariff?

huh huh HUH????

 

[Marener]

The same thing happens when a bunch of illegal aliens use a hospital and don't pay.

There’s state and federal programs they reimburses for that care, but in actuality illegal aliens often have insurance because they’re employed.

Imagine if they got jobs that actually added to GDP.

They do.

Wasting less money on more expensive, less reliable green energy idiocy is a good thing.

Yeah, **** nuclear power. Right?

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

You ar the only one saying they shouldn’t that I am aware of. Link to anyone else saying they shouldn’t pay?

Have you ever heard of Grover Norquist, gomer??? The Republican "no new taxes" pledge???

Look him up, lightweight.

Like what?

but in actuality illegal aliens often have insurance because they’re employed.

How are they legally working with no Social Security number?

They do.

Government bureaucrats add to GDP? What do they produce?

Yeah, **** nuclear power. Right?

How much was being spent by the government to add nuclear power?
Pretty much zero?

The guy who lies about all these evil corporations illegally evading taxes calls someone else a lightweight.

Moron. Liar.
Lying moron.

The MAGA monkey is throwing his feces again.

I was told by the zoo keepers not to feed it.

Definitely not hard to expose your lies, but I wouldn’t call it boring.

Walmart only sold things made in America when Sam Walton was alive.
He made it great. Not sure what it is now. Not a fan.
Busiest time of the day and almost no cashiers. Do not like.
Also, they've been gouging people on things, many things I can get at other stores for cheaper.
Coffee, for one.

Imagine if you had a plant and you wanted to see if a fertilizer would help your plant grow. Would you declare the fertilizer a success if the plant grew after you gave it?

I might if I used two or more of the same plants with and without the fertilizer

 

[beagle9]

My first job was $1.65/hour.

$1.18 an hour my first real job.

My farm job only paid me $1.05 an hour. I was 16 years old. Drove tractors skid steers, and all sorts of miscellaneous equipment for the jobs we done on the farm.

If only we had two countries with two economies.

The point is you can’t use revenue growth as a metric when revenues grow either way.

 

[jknowgood]

Yeah, cutting the budget can result in economic harm.

Cut Medicaid and next thing you know hospitals in a rural community closes which results in lots of lost jobs.

Cut USAID and the humanitarian aid contracts dry up which are largely sourced domestically.

Cut federal loan programs and investment in risky energy projects disappears.

Not that it shouldn’t happen because we have a lot of debt. I think we should cut spending and raise taxes to close the deficit. That’s going to negatively affect the economy but we don’t have a lot of choice.

My main point is that Trump didn’t do that. He cut taxes, increased spending and deficits ballooned.

And he STILL had pretty only modest economic growth.

Cut government by 50% and our economy would thrive!

Mine was $3.35 an hour, but i only worked for that once. Lol

In that case you cant attack tax cuts either using data

Obviously you just love bloated government and the high taxes is takes to sustain it

I hate the W-ord.

2 times ago I had to leave there because my anxiety was so high and all the employees started looking like dash board statues from South Park.

Our local Walmart has gone downhill so fast I won't even go there any more. When I need to go to one, I drive 40 minutes to the one in the city next door.

We can cut taxes and reduce government spending along with the other things Trump has mentioned and stimulate the economy all at the same time. The cuts must be coupled with other stimulus like deregulation, increased energy production, etc. to be fully effective.

There is enough waste in government that spending could be cut without any discernible effect on programs. While government spending has a stimulative effect, wasteful government hiring, for example, is like robbing Peter to pay Paul. It makes little sense to make unnecessary government hires to decrease unemployment and increase tax revenues because ultimately their employment(salary and benefits) cost the government and the tax payers far more than it benefits the economy. That seems to be the Democrat’s plan. Government hiring rarely shrinks under Democrats.

The most pressing issue is government waste. It should be tackled first and foremost. Democrats seem to have this idea that raising taxes is the first step and even the only step in some cases. That is like raising the credit limit on a credit card for someone that has continued to max it out and can’t make the minimum payment. In the real world, a business can’t just raise their prices(taxes) to accommodate for their inefficiencies. Government desperately needs to take some financial pointers from the business world.
