Pretty standard liberal mockery, Fitz. And where has it gotten you? Trump is in the White House, Republicans own the House and the Senate, and the Democratic Party is just a limp-dicked beggar playing spoons on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Desolation Lane.Quote:

That fact that over 25% of eligible voters voted for Trump is beyond disturbing.
For me, this is unforgivable. I will not be have be friends with with any Trump voter for as long as I live. Luckily, I don't have any family members who voted for Trump, but if I did, I would've cut them out of my life.
Trump voters are disgusting, and I hate them on visceral level. I have yet to see any Trump voter (in any media) who seems like a good person.
Aside for the points already mentioned, a tariff is not a tax on foreign countries. It is a tax on American consumers and businesses who purchase those imported products. Raising tariffs on steel and aluminium is particularly dumb because those are inputs used by pretty much every other US manufacturer. Nice way to make US manufacturing more competitive.Quote:

I'm not sure we're even playing the same game here, Flighty. You do realize, I assume, that placing a tariff on imported goods means American goods have the clear advantage in the American market. Don't you?Quote:

"Trade war" is just code for "war," Flighty. Behind every trade agreement ever made, there's a loaded gun under the table. We've got the biggest gun of all, and Trump just pulled it out and cocked it.
Pure balls. Thank God we've finally got a President who's immune to the cowardly mewling of the ignorant masses.

As usual, all your assumptions are wrong. I have never had any ties to the Democratic--or any other--political party.Quote:

You're ignoring his point though. So I'll repeat it. Steel will be more expensive for U.S. manufacturers. This makes these manufacturers less competitive. Other countries place tariffs on our goods which will close off markets to our industries. How is this good and are their right wing economists who think trade wars are good for the economy?Quote:

So how is he not doing something counter-intuitive and destructive?
"Consciously ignoring the truth so you can keep pretending" You really have no sense of irony at all, do you Dangler?Quote:

If military might is always the answer then what happened in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan? Did you learn nothing from those debacles?
