The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It is simply $130 billion going from the government's pockets back into the pockets of the businesses who paid the tariffs.

Except the pockets they came out from originally were those of consumers, through tariffs being passsed on through price increases.

Likely, businesses are going to make rather nice windfall profits while the US consumer / taxpayer has already paid / will pay once more.


If anything, that will have a positive, stimulative economic effect on the economy, albeit a very small one.

Perhaps "small" if put into relation to price increases coming due to Middle East war being waged by your leadership.
