Tariffs Worked “Spectacularly Well”

Biden's inflation problem was a supply chain/COVID unemployment aid problem, or it wouldn't have been so short-lived and wouldn't have essentially disappeared by 2023. It was transitory, like it or not. The fact it became bad politics to tell people the truth isn't a new phenomenon.
-
Transitory in that the Fed slowed it down dramatically with 5 point increase. I know we disagree on that point though.
-
It was a dramatic rise from zero, but interest rates at zero was pretty unusual too.
-
A great deal of the fields are now picked by machines. We don't need wetbacks. They now take construction jobs etc from American citizens. We can't have that. The are ALL criminals. Every single one. Who hires criminals?
-
Just more of your liéurly armchair philosophy.
100% of Trump's tariffs are paid by American importers.
-
Which is not actually a word but an interesting looking typo which looks like it fits
-
Sort of true, but misleading.
American Importer: I was paying you $100 per unit, but if I pay a $15 tariff to the US government I can't sell it to make a profit. So, no sale.
Chinese Exporter: I'll eat the tariff and charge you $87. You pay the $13 tariff and your cost remains.
The truth lies somewhere in between. But AOG can't handle the truth. Trump's first round of tariffs with the chicoms didn't result in destabilizing inflation. Biden's Make Inflation Greater Act certainly did.
-
Yeah the clearing price is what gets negotiated. Who mechanically pays the tariff bill is fucking meaningless and funny that AOG thought he made a point.
-
The problem is US importers, that is Americans, will always pay 100% of the tariffs. There is no escaping that despite the Trump adminstration's repeated lies to the contrary.
-
Even H thinks you are crazy at this point.
-
Yeah, so 100% paid by importer.
-
FOB terms get around your semantics. Quick, throw that into ChatGPT. It’s a real thing that is widely used.
-
H only is against tariffs because Trump
Neither H or AOG had a problem with tariffs under Biden
-
Biden was NOT starting a one man trade war like Herr Idiot is.
So, as soon bob-c as you can find me a single case anywhere in the US in which the US importer did not pay the Trump TAX then I'll rest my case. I also demand a legit study that shows that large tariffs don't increase prices. Otherwise you need not continue your usual arguments.
-
So you want an invoice copy or something? Lol
-
Told you Biden tariffs good
Orange man bad
Every damn time
-
Don't buy imported shit. Problem solved!
-
Retard makes demands.
Again.

-
Dude, please stop humiliating yourself. Or keep going. I don’t care.
-
-
You're just feeling the effects of today's economic numbers which are rendering your arguments impotent.
-
This is getting pretty bad for you, @AOG
Maybe we can find you a board that’s a better match for your abilities.

DNC sent out their talking points early today.
Retard.

What the fuck were the dem policies that rebuilt the labor market? We can't get the Tug leftards to discuss policy let alone the national dem party. Trillions of dollars of foreign investment are returning to the US and all we get from the left is a huge whine as government waste and fraud are being dismantled and the border is closed. Maybe they can talk about the need for more federal investment in their proven educational policies. Geezus.
-
Agree Dems didn't rebuild the labor market.
They just stayed out of the way.
Daddy set going to "fix" what was a decent (not spectacular) economy. His policies will depress growth.
As an aside, foreign investment increases trade deficits, trade deficits being the supposed rationale for doing all this damage.
I only offer that only as an aside because trade deficits are such a stupid, meaningless thing to have focused on in the first place.
-
lol trying to force business to fire employees that are unvaxxed is staying out of the labor market.
-
Yeah, the dem blue state lockdowns were just staying out of the way. How delusional do you have to be to believe this shit? Or just that lying is like breathing to a leftard.
-
Picking at the fringes now.

Those Minnesota bananas are delicious!
