Hysteria has erupted here and abroad over President Trump’s threats to level trade tariffs against particular countries.
Both American and foreign critics blasted them variously as either counterproductive and suicidal or unfair, imperialistic, and xenophobic.
Certainly, tariffs are widely hated by doctrinaire economists. They complain that tariffs burden consumers with higher prices to protect weak domestic industries that, shielded from competition, will have no incentive to improve efficiency.
It is (D)ifferent when a Democrat does this. Republicans just can not. Just wait for the inevitable law suit that is held in secret and tries to insert itself into the Administrative branch. Were going to see quite a few black robed rubes ejected from their bully pulpit.
ReplyDeleteTariffs? "Comme ci, comme ça". Only worry about something you can directly affect, like paying your bills even if tariffs cause them to go up.
ReplyDeleteIt's always the same bunch of whiny bitches, lining their pockets with our money while begging for a handout.

Still waiting for Epstein's list. Although at this point it would be fair to extrapolate just from the histrionics.
