Tariffs

[KCFlyer]

ariffs are the answer to rectifying those Trade imbalances.

We have had a trade surplus wtih Brazil for decades (they buy more from us than we do from them). Yet Trump imposed a 25% tariff on them. What was his reasoning for doing that? of we are trying to correct a trade imbalance? We have a trade surplus with Singapore, yet he imposed a 10% tariff on them. Why? We have a trade surplus with Australia, yet we have a 50% tariff on their steel. Why? We have a 25% tariff on Brazil because OUR president doesn't want THEIR government prosecuting him for a coup attempt because he feels some kinship with him? Is that worth paying 25% more for coffee? Every tariff win for Trump means Americans will pay more. But I'm calling bullshit on the trade imbalance reason.

I mainly just make my own comments on this board because you’re absolutely useless to engage with. I dated a chick once who had one of these and it repeating itself constantly was very annoying just as much then as you are now.

You’re a 🦜 Parrot.

FYI the World 🌎 owes us. To this day since the Industrial Revolution America 🇺🇸 has invented and built the modern era. Yes America is a premium store and buyer. If the World wants to do business with the largest economy and market on Earth they need to pay an extra price.

Great Country Clubs 🇺🇸 membership fees aren’t cheap.

The Industrial Revolution started before the United States was a country.

And you don’t belong to any country club.
