Here’s the thing. They won’t cancel the tariffs even if they win (Biden didn’t)...
****
Of course not....President Biden was right to keep the revenue and the bargaining chip. As if this LuLulemon country can't afford a few more bucks. The REVENUE is gonna come --be it from taxes, the VAT tax I've predicted for awhile in the long term, something. Of course, some want to tax work and achievement....but not consumption because then the true secret comes out - it's not 1%'res buying all the bullshit---it's the lower middle, middle, and Club 401K buying the bullshit and they dont wanna pay. Indeed go to one strip mall----cell phone and pager stores. $200 hair braiding shops. Overpriced liquor and convenience stores----THEY are buying the bullshit. Then go to another strip mall -- Kumon math tutoring, a modestly priced Chinese restaurant, perhaps an insurance agent. LOL - they live within their means (yes, culture ......)
As someone who not only opposed Corporatist LIBERALS. on Tariffs all these years but opposed fellow FEPUBLICANS on free trade since the 90s.....I'm so disappointed how this worked out. Trump had no strategy. Nothing. Seat of pants.
I'd have gotten in to Mexico's pants for sure--- and he did----and we were prevailing.
THEN instead of pissing off the likes of Canada? I'd have united the Canadians and even the Europoeans----and wanted ALL of us to face down China economically. Tariffs, corporate espionage, etc etc etc.
I still feel we'd have gotten away with tariffs. We were doing WELL --- even with the tariffs in.
it's the gas prices that got us. That permeated family budgets and - encroached into costs for most other products.
Speaking for myself----- please can we stop being Israel whores.
ALst time we got Obama.
This time, pray we get Obama....it could be Woke AOC or someone like that. We'd beg Obama to return.
