Yowza!!!! Google ‘tariffs in place NOW’ under Biden. I guess tariffs are not a Republican/Democrat issue. Just the Dumbocrats want the American people to think so. They failed last Tuesday….

I've always been against tarriffs
I've always supported free trade because that leads to a healthier worldwide economy that in turn raises my stock prices.
Tarriffs hurt the worldwide economy and stocks don't do as well.
It also increases the cost of goods for consumers leading to inflation
It's just that tarriffs are worse under Trump then Biden
Remember what Will Rogers said

Tariffs help offset abortion.

The reason Tariffs exist are because China was pegging the dollar for many years and our birth-rate crashed over 50 years.

As a result, USA's production capacity shifted to China and secondary countries like Mexico because labor was cheaper.

In a nutshell, we lost much of our industrial capacity since Roe v Wade.

But we still have most of the intellectual capacity of the world in patents, especially tech patents, etc.

And they are regularly forged by China (stolen).

If we would stop abortion voluntarily (no mandates) and maintain dominance in intellectual capacity, we could eventually remove the Tariffs if China quit pegging because we could regain manufacturing dominance through a higher birth-rate.

If you kill the labor before they're born, what would you expect?

Change the word ‘the’ to ‘a’ and I’ll agree with you. I firmly believe falsely ridiculously high minimum wage in Democrat States is a big driver of inflation as well. The ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ might have been the straw that broke the camel’s back for anyone ever believing anything a Democrat politician says.

I've asked this question before and you have refused to answer, so I'll ask again: What should be the wage that the working poor make? How much LESS should we pay minimum wage workers?

Trump for sure knew he was going to win. It's only been 6 days since the election and he already has a bunch of people appointed in various positions. He's not making the same mistakes he made last time. It's also not going to take years for the Senate to approve whoever he picks they're going to do it immediately. He knew by looking at his internal polls he was going to win just like the Harris people knew they were going to lose. This is why they tripled down on the ugly Hitler rhetoric in the last few weeks before the election, it was pure desperation. Nobody on either side likes to hear that crap and a huge number of people don't even know who Adolf Hitler was. Notice it had zero effect on the electorate, he still won every Battleground state and the general election. Nobody cared about the Hitler Nazi crap.

You have to wonder if that is why there was probable skimming of funds from the Kamala campaign? The party that some here say wants to "get the money out of politics" raised $1 billion for the Kamala campaign, and ended up $20 million in debt? $50 million in consultants to Trump's $10. That much money there had to be lots of graft and favors.

What did they spend a billion dollars on. Trump had three or four or five times more rallies than they did. And those are expensive. You bet there was scimming and scamming and embezzlement probably right from the start. It seems like lefties are always getting caught with thier hand in somebody else's till. I would name names but it would take too long.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
