We will use taxes to subsidize employment in less skilled and uneducated jobs. Ironically, sounds a bit like something Bernie would do.

It’s not like we don’t have priests from mega churches doing the same Union made Nikes 😂

Or maybe a few do, they join the union, and we make a part for 5x. We subsidize the uneducated with jobs because they didn’t want to go to school. What type of structure again redistributes wealth to the lower class? I forget what they call that?

The world has had plenty of independent thinkers who have come to horrible conclusions, many of which have been world leaders. Those decisions have had horrible consequences to the citizens of those countries. So no, that doesn’t give confidence in his decisions.

So that validates his decisions?

Your post assumes tariffs are a good idea. Most research showed it cost Americans over half a million dollars per job created with his washing machine tariffs. So it's a little more complicated than just suck it up. The left kicked the can down the road more because the current state of the economy is as fragile as it's been in over a decade and any solutions that don't severely impact our current quality of life (that don't involve taxing the F out of the most wealthy, which you won't let happen) are not very realistic. So my bad if it's a little unsettling to pivot from a somewhat justified extreme level of caution, to rip the the band aid off and let it bleed out. We have no undue button at this point and the notion that this current sacrifice will somehow lead to better and more fulfilling times is not an opinion shared by most economists or historians.

You aren’t really making a good case for “we should have known better”. The reality is if people believed this is what he was going to do he would not be president.

You said we "should have known" when Trump said he would use Tariffs, that we should believe him. I provided reasons why believing him is difficult. You responded with something sarcastic. I assume to defend his honesty. I gave you a policy that we know he doesn't support, but is just supporting for the sake of votes and asked you if he supports it? (example of a really big lie). You said you won't engage in deflecting.

You think he's pro life?

Even if you believed Tariffs won't result in permanently higher prices (as they have repeatedly throughout history)the way these were implemented are asinine. The vast majority of these countries are poor, making products that we will never make, and never will come close to purchasing goods the US is making. If you plan on building an empire in the US selling a product that somebody in Cambodia will buy, what the hell are you making? The fattest kid is not also going to be the one who sells the most food.

I know they're liberal sources, but by most accounts Trump will tell 15-20 lies per speech and told over 10,000 in his first term, which is one third of the reported total by these outlets. He focuses on the grand and exaggerated in all explanations. How is it possible to determine what he is actually being serious about? As an example you can't possibly believe the pro life? Yet, here we are.

It is comedy watching MAGA shift it's agenda to the latest talking points defending the tariffs Trump starts out with, the stock market will be booming and Americans will save money on day 1 Now its: -The stock market doesn't matter -Stop buying things -We have to sacrifice for our financial sins

This is where I’m at. We have no intention of making most this crap. It is inconceivable to think the United States will produce as many goods for some of these poor countries vs what we will consume from them. We give them some minimal quality of life with the exports we buy, our citizens get cheaper goods, what exactly are they supposed to be buying from us? If we have stuff to sell third world countries at the same rate we buy goods from them we have a serious problem in this country.

How can one think every breath that is taken is a conspiracy by the deep state. That everything said is lie. But poor little Isaiah thinks his Dads mill job is coming back to the US? This population is so easily manipulated yet simultaneously so paranoid and untrusting.

All of 24 hours

You have two posts. Your name is JFKjr, you’re on a Buffalo Bills forum talking politics. We are MAGA.

So people who got a Covid vaccine all had to tricked by the government into doing so?

Hmmm, so based on your concerns about NPR I assume you focus on news you're willing to read being from neutral parties? You don't seem like the type of person that would just focus on conservative news outlets? No, not you. You're fair and just. A man of logic and reason.

Wheel your chair outside and get some air. I'm not part of the herd. I take in news story's and news outlets with a grain of salt. I don't find myself overcome with an inability to tell what is real and what isn't real based on who wrote the article. I have a mind that functions independently and can determine BS based on my own cognitive abilities.

Literally, every single comment somebody makes on here, you pivot to some left insult or some paranoia. The article I posted was about the Trump Tariffs and somehow you're talking about Hunter F'n Biden. I think the excessive posting has gone to your head.

You’re a tea partier aren’t you?

I don't understand how your brain can work. Trump can lie about 7000 things in the course of one week, but you can't find the strength to read an article that is informative and accurate because they wrote something that you find dishonest in the past. The cognitive dissonance of Trump supporters will be studied by future generations.

Not hysterical. Aware of the potential impacts of this. Very angry. Is that ok?

What are you disputing in the article ?
