Trump's New Humanitarian Streak--Foreign Aid at Businesses Expense

Oh, my! You and I agree on something. Write this date down. LOL

Trump is a small "p" Progressive. He tends to get cutesy with his use of government. He has done some very good things like relaxing regulations in the energy sector. Still, he is not an ideological conservative. Is he preferable to Hillary? That goes without saying.

Nope.

First, many people take the Globalist position on Tariffs. I guess you believe that low tariffs are always good.

This belief is simply false. Tariffs work and tariffs are helpful. Tariffs are a tax on foreign companies - not American consumers.

Take two widget companies.

Widget company A charges $X and Widget company B charges $X. Government places $Y tax on widget company A. Can Widget company A charge $(X+Y) to its customers to pass on the costs? No.

Widget company A is now disadvantaged compared to Widget company B.

The tax is on the company - not the consumer.

 

Correction - He is no a neocon. Thank God. I hope all Neocons die early natural deaths.

 

The company I work for imports certain products from China. I can state for a fact our prices will be going up. It is called the law of economics.

Nope - this is globalist cool-aid.

Then buy from Widget Company B.

Once again, more globalist cool-aid.

It's called reality. Trumps made-up stuff every time.

No solution is going to be 100% advantageous to all people until Jesus takes over in the future. (somehow I feel that the dims will find something, even then, to belly-ache about!)

I remember when I was in the Army, early 60s, and the military got a pay raise. A Sgt I knew complained because the raise just barely put him into the next tax bracket, and his take-home was less than before the raise.

Our world is still imperfect, so the ideal is to help as many as possible, and the others, hopefully, are a bare minimum.

IOW, I firmly believe that, in the long run, (or even short run) Trump's strategy is far, FAR, superior to ANYTHING the dims/rinos have to offer!!

Personally I'm glad I'm not the one having to make these decisions!!!!!!

 

In the first part you are literally quoting a propaganda website . . . Are you serious?

Propaganda = false misleading information.

The other part is "hurt profit margins for retailers and suppliers". Not emphasized because you are reading propaganda.

The rest is simply made-up. This is propaganda.

Did you read the Bloomberg article? How many of the companies mentioned were not even U.S.?

Do you know how to start a steel plant from scratch? Do you know how long it takes? Do you know what happens when one shuts down? Do you know what steel is used for? How you ever risked your life to save a steel plant? Do you know that people even do this?

Building and protecting our steel industry is worth a 25% tariff.

By the way, Caterpillar is doing just fine.

Oh noes, sugar sodas in a can might, maybe, probably won't go up.

You're saying the price of tape is going up . . . I haven't seen the $10 roll of tape yet.

 

Ya can’t fix stupid

 

The farmers are directly being messed up by the tariffs. China basically banned all U.S. food. Eventually, the U.S. will find other markets, but since food will spoil in the meantime and many farmers are living year-to-year, Trump is probably dong this in part for votes in key states. I trust Trump more than anyone-else on this. I'd want God in charge, but he hasn't come down to run for office.

I have die-hard loyalty for Trump. It may be a weakness of mine. However, I have heard for far too long about how wonderful no Tariffs will be and I have not seen many benefits of 40 years of zero tariffs. I have seen other countries benefit mightily. But not mine.

 

Do you have competitors that make products in foreign countries besides China.... like Vietnam, India, Mexico, Sri Lanka? Who has the unfair advantage now?!?

 

Tell that to the soy bean farmers!

LoL.

Just kidding.

 

That there demonstrates the logical truth of why China was so quickly gaining in world economical domination and why giving them back some of the same medicine absolutely gives us an advantage by simply leveling the field. This action is not only necessary but vital.

I have no problem with supplementing our farmers with a percentage of the tariff and giving our extra farm goods to needy countries.

I do have a concern of dishing out free health care on a large scale because people will quickly relate it to a sense of entitlement and if and when the tariff war ends these people would still expect their free stuff.

 

That's why he is offering to purchase their beans.
