FYI- If we want to lower inflation then tarrifs will do the opposite, it will increase prices instead!

@Carazaa We live in a world where manufacturing capacity is critical to national security. US leaders have foolishly outsourced manufacturing all over the world to the detriment of our middle class. Tariffs, along with competitive taxes, will bring manufacturing back to the US.

Increasing energy supplies will start the cycle to lower costs across the board. Tax reform will drive growth. Reducing government spending reigns in inflation. There's more to this than the price of Maple Syrup. We won't be making enemies. The world is a rough and tumble place and tariffs are part of the game. Economic dominance is one area where we can make a huge difference in the world without firing a shot.

@carpediem Or we will have higher gas and food bills, more poverty, more homelessness, and more crime!

@carpediem Lets fire Federal Aviation Directors and have airplane crashes, lets cut healthcare and have polio and TB increase, lets cut WHO and be ignorant of the diseases coming in the country, lets cut federal programs to help the old, the poor and the needy and become a third world country with increased crime! Yeah!!!
Lets do that!!

@Reason10 You are making my point for me. Thank you. Like the monetary policies and Wall street have produced a successfull economy. Friedmans theories are fine in theory. As long as no people are involved. So an AI run economy will work beautifully with his models. But people are no tperfect. They are bad tempered, greedy and lazy at times. And sometimes even Trumpish. Then Friedman is useless and Keynes works, but still needs to be managed..😷

@Reason10 If USA puts 25% tariff on Canadian goods, then the maple Surup will increase in prize for us . Do you understand how it works?

@Carazaa maybe they’re right. Or maybe it doesn’t matter what a country of 5 million does anyway.

@AthrillatheHunt Its not good to make enemies!

@Carazaa agreed 100% friendship and cooperation are always better .

@redredred The only problem is, can America make it's products cheap enough using higher waged American labour?

@whowasthatmaskedman Does my savings account with $138.38 in it make me rich....lol

@sunsporter1649 Passing the obvious answer, it might, if you had nothing to spend it on because your mother still bought your clothes and paid all your bills and you lived in her basement. 😷

@JimboSaturn All taxes are taxes on the consumer. Consumers pay corporate taxes that are baked into price of goods and services.

@redredred Agreed

@redredred We will see increased gas prices and groceries prices etc shortly if tariffs go into effect. Its obvious!

@MasterLee Raise taxes on churches?

Nice going, ADOLF.

That increased revenue would be quickly eaten up by your WELFARE STATE.

@Reason10 Adolf? Hmm

@Carazaa lot of those things are state taxes and property taxes that pay for those items, my property taxes pay for schools, fire and other items , I have a city watershed tax that pays for a new dam because the city it’s in didn’t keep it up so now it falls on the county to figure out how to pay for it , I never had that tax until the dam broke

@Prison1203 When you pay taxes for federal workers you don't expect someone to give them golden handshake letters to save money so the airports aren't safe.

@Carazaa I don’t recall any TSApeople being laid off
