So according to trumptards, tariffs are stupid unless they aren’t.greenblood said:
I don't like tariffs but it was the only way to bring China to the floor to negotiate on the issue of intellectual property theft. Trump's tweets about tariffs lowering the trade deficit was borderline retarded. If the purpose was to hurt their economy, they were naturally going to import less goods, so an increase in the deficit was a given. People who don't know that are dumb. There was not a single alternative brought forth to fight the intellectual property theft China commits annually, outside of being left with our dicks hanging out and allowing the theft to continue. I posted months ago with Hondo that China's theft amounts to around $600 Billion a year. Which means that roughly 5% of China's entire GDP is raised through the theft of foreign governments and companies. 5% doesn't seem like much, but in most cases a 5% drop in annual GDP can send an entire country into chaos.CirrhosisDawg said:
Below minimum wage you say? A “market” wage then.greenblood said:
Contractors and farmers aren't looking for just any workforce. They are looking for a workforce that is willing to be paid at (let's be honest) below minimum wage. Tariffs have cut margins from farming, so they can't just hire anybody, the same goes for contractors because of the housing slowdown due to an already inflated housing market.HHusky said:
I think they'd like any workforce. You can't grow an economy with our demographics while hating on immigration.greenblood said:I love how farmers and contractors openly say they have a need for a more exploited workforce.
Tariffs were a really stupid idea in retrospect, weren’t they?
Tariffs weren't ideal, but necessary given the true purpose of them.
Learn to read, then maybe you can refer to things as stupid. Until then, stupid is is stupid does Forrest.
You are stupid. Dumb as a fucking post. A total fucking retard.
Instead of “reading” and posting on HH, you might want to research and study micro-economics, and then get back to the board regarding your grand insights into tariffs.
1) tariffs are taxes on US consumers
2) they decrease the productivity, efficiency, and profitability of the US economy
3) tariffs damage US economic dominance by dragging our standards to the lowest common denominator
4) tariffs attack US competitive advantages in the highest margin sectors of the economy to appease domestic laggards (hi @greenblood )
5) Lowering US economic goals, objectives and strategies to address China economic manipulation is abdication, failure and surrender
6) foregoing US economic dominance to protect unskilled, ucompetive, uneducated domestic trump constituentlcies is suicide and and an abomination towards those with skills to succeed.
@greenblood has been promulgating this “strategic” tariff imbecility for a long time now. He’s had long enough time to figure it about by now.

If you read you’d see I don’t like tariffs either. But there is no other way to combat China’s intellectual property theft. Do you have another solution to that? Instead of mentioning another solution to that problem, you just continue to state the consequences of said tariffs. News flash, i don’t disagree. There is the long game and the short game. If short term tariffs solves a major problem, the consequences are worth it. You must be in the intellectual property theft is part of the free market crowd. Sad. -

US economic interests win when domestic ingenuity and competitiveness are allowed to prevail and win. Winners win. That means you lose.
You think it’s ok that US taxpayers pay increased taxes for this fiasco? To subsidize failure and inefficiency?
Tariffs have been in place a long time now with deleterious impacts and no end in sight. Short term or long term.
