Which is exactly why tariffs are just a tax on the low and middle class.
Is that all they are? So every other country in the world uses them to harm their middle and lower class citizens?

Other than the lefties on here, those are some of the most miserable people I've ever seen.
If the prices of gas, NG, & mortgages & other loans go down too, how so?Which is exactly why tariffs are just a tax on the low and middle class.
So 10% isn't the baseline tariff for all countries. That's what I'd seen reported.
For those who don't know Robert Reich... this guy is an IDIOT.Here is when the Dow didn’t matter. It all depends on what they have to gain. They have no scruples, no principles.

here's what is different .. private sector jobs vs gov jobs. Go think about it for a while, take some midol when you have cramps...These number were in the low 200 to mid 200s. Just like the Biden years. Revisions up and down are nothing new. Trumps previous month was revised down.
Funny ... if it is a leftist protest than soros paid them to be there.
both parties may want it ... but only one party is running on it..Of course they want fraud. They all want fraud, pub and dem alike. That is how they all got rich. How does someone on a $150K a year salary become a multimillionaire in five years? AOC couldn't afford a house before she was elected, now she wears 5K pants suits. They are corrupt AF and have stolen billions from taxpayers through back channels like USAID.
Wow, what struck me from the interview is him saying that last summer more Americans took European vacations than ever before, while at the same time more Americans visited food banks than ever before.
Bill you move your goal posts so much you don’t up from downAgain you blue sky twinks with the terrible memes. Who ever said Trump was bluffing about implementing tariffs? That’s been the plan all along.
If you’re going to try and mock someone, you can’t just make up retarded shit.
There’s the tuff guy.here's what is different .. private sector jobs vs gov jobs. Go think about it for a while, take some midol when you have cramps...
Awesome.
You assholes swore that 6 feet and experimental vaccines could stop an airborne virus. You think the government can control weather and that males can menstruate.
You had your chance. It’s over. You can’t get the stain of idiocy off of you. You reek of it.
I promise you, nobody here or across the country gives a shit what you think anymore.
He's already winning the trade war. Argentina signs a deal, other countries rush to sign deals. Canada caves and half their companies move here.Again you blue sky twinks with the terrible memes. Who ever said Trump was bluffing about implementing tariffs? That’s been the plan all along.

Except they aren't.Which is exactly why tariffs are just a tax on the low and middle class.
Ah. A Bluesky wacko.
Same here. I worked my ass off for @ 45 years. I'm done unless I get REALLY bored, then I might consider going back to work PT, doing something fairly cushy like security or something. I don't foresee that happening anytime soon.My SS direct deposit hits the bank on Tuesday. I'm good

Only thing consistent about you is your conceit
If I'm being honest I'm not too thrilled myself, but I hope he proves me wrong.Lot of unhappy people on Rafters……
Aside from a few great posters from here and the Lair, I hope Rafters, as a whole, gets the ClapIf I'm being honest I'm not too thrilled myself, but I hope he proves me wrong.
26% from 3 is concerning, and from what I've read he's a terrible defender.
Have to trust Coach Pope I suppose.
Trump administration argues judge can’t order return of man mistakenly deported to El Salvador
They can send a man to a foreign prison without due process. Then later admit it was done in error. But they can't/won't try to undo their little oopsie, even when ordered to do so by a judge.
This is the new normal!
The far left is just a step away from putting on brand new Nike sneakers, pocketing 5 dollars and 75 cents, eating phenobarbital laced apple sauce, and laying down to wait for their Uber that will take them up to Comet Hale-Bopp...
District court judges can’t order the head of the executive branch to negotiate with other heads of state in an attempt to get whatever the judge wants. That’s absolute lunacy.
What happens if the foreign head of state says no to what the judge wants? Can the judge order Trump to bomb them?
Because it wasnt an “ oopsie”, nor was it a mistake. The judge is trying to set a precedent where people departed can be brought back by the US govt.Trump administration argues judge can’t order return of man mistakenly deported to El Salvador

If you DO feel the need for something to do, my yard needs a lot of work. Probably best to keep it gratis. Friends should never enter into a business arrangement. Don't you agree? LOLSame here.

I'm going to enjoy my retirement as much as possible. I've got a mini library, so I can read anytime I wish ; I enjoy taking my dog on long walks, to the local parks, and just enjoying playing with him. I've got a nice big TV with more channels and apps than I'll ever use, but I do enjoy being able to watch a movie or documentary, until 1am if I so desire, without having to worry about getting to bed so I'll be well rested for work.
And then I've got my biggest passion: fishing. My son and I truly enjoy spending time together, and our favorite pastime is bass fishing. ( He doesn't know it, but I ordered him a new Abu Garcia rod and reel combo from Bass Pro. It was delivered about an hour ago.) He's at work now; he works weekends at a local restaurant, while being a FT college student. I can't wait until he gets home after while and I give him his new outfit, he's going to love it.
So yeah, life is good ; the hell with going back to work, lol.
The judge said he couldn’t be deported to El Salvador, his home country. That’s the reason the judge wants him back.Oh, I agree. It is lunacy. Anyways…it IS just one innocent man. And they DID admit they shouldn’t have done it. So I guess I’m cool with it. Everyone should be cool with it. They should just say “sorry ‘bout that” and we can all just move on.
I can taste those delicious steaks already. The lack of tariffs really enhances the flavor, don't you think?Awesome.
As local loudmouths begin rushing toward the exits.....
Sounds like somebody has gotten a little too big for their britches.The judge said he couldn’t be deported to El Salvador, his home country. That’s the reason the judge wants him back.
Because it wasnt an “ oopsie”, nor was it a mistake. The judge is trying to set a precedent where people departed can be brought back by the US govt.
Because they sent him already…Then why did they claim it was an administrative error?
Again, I’m cool with it, and we all should get on board.
So 10% isn't the baseline tariff for all countries. That's what I'd seen reported.
Argentina does lots of business with China. See if they don't become THE pass thru country for China goods to avoid Trump's tariffs.
Not surprised you are not a patriot. Go live somewhere else where they have the type of governance you want. Plus, I will put my trust in a billionaire who has proven he can run a company and a country which was proven in his first term (- covid) rather than an internet self-proclaimed know it all who has proven he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.I don’t hate anyone. I want everyone in the US and the whole world to do well. These policies are basically going to make quality of life worse for Americans the most but also the rest of the world. Over the last 40 years the American economy, has prospered and lifted billions of other people worldwide out of poverty.
We can have our cake and eat it too. The long term effects of these tariffs is going to be the world moving on without the US. We aren’t trustworthy anymore as a trade partner and the world will oblige us with leaving us to ourselves in our little island over here in between the Atlantic and Pacific. We will have less because we don’t have the human capital necessary to produce the wealth of goods and services we are accustomed to. Basically what we ourselves can make for us to consume is much less than what we can consume in a free trade scenario because we have more money than everyone else. The first step in making us poorer is erasing the projected future earnings of our companies. That erased the value of owning these companies which is what we saw in the stock market. He next step is going to be as actual products prices go up and products start disappearing from our shelves. The next part will be job shifting. The goods US produces domestically and exports will start slowing and people will lose jobs there while others gain jobs in things that are necessities that we have to start making here. Trading software engineers for tee shirt makers basically.
I am disheartened by the glee you all seem to have in peoples suffering. You like to see foreigners suffer, you relish Americans losing money in the stock market, you think there is some great future for you, but that’s only cause you don’t understand. My view of your attitude is that you would rather see us suffer under Republican leadership no matter who it is then prosper under anyone else. Why do I think this? Because over the last 20 years I have seen the people in this forum dismiss every single good thing that has happened under Democratic leadership and relish the bad things that happen under Republicans.
I want people to do well and moving forward under these policies more people will suffer than do well. Also I’m not a patriot. I don’t really care if someone is American, Mexican, Chinese, Russian, whatever. We all have a right to be free and prosperous. Leaders who see the world as a game of stealing prosperity from others are the problem with the world not the solution. Trump is one of those people so I don’t support him. We have words for that and they’re called selfish or greedy at best, and maybe evil at worst. All I know is with one fell swoop on 4/2/2025 Trump made the world a worse place to live for everyone and we in the US will bear the majority of that cost.
They really have no other game plan (never had vs Trump) other than trying to create a boogie man for their base.They don’t care about the stock market. Or kids in cages. Or egg prices. Or secure borders. Or the working class.
It’s just shit they say to get their smoothbrain drones worked up. This thread has several of them.
