It’s been a good year, not a great one. Hoping for great next year but can live with good. Anything less than good and the pitchforks come out
The Frankish Reich Posted Friday at 10:39 PM Posted Friday at 10:39 PM Trump may ease tariffs on bananas and coffee. Rationale: we don't grow bananas and only a negligible amount of coffee. But I thought these were "reciprocal tariffs," aimed at getting exporting countries to treat us fairly. If you're going to have leverage over Colombia's treatment of our exports, you're gonna have to tariff coffee (oh, and cocaine). Just another example of the lack of any logic to Tariff Man's entire concept. 3

The fastest and most effective way trump and his economic gurus found to address affordability was to decrease tariffs thereby affirming that tariffs are a tax on Americans. 2 1

Americans do consume more than the rest of the planet. Maybe tariffs will put us on a "consumption diet."

Anyone incapable of budgeting about $250 a week for food needs to spend a little time to learn how to manage money properly. A few hints. Use manufacturer and store coupons, focus on sale items, avoid certain high priced items, don't buy what you don't need or will waste. That's what we do and it works.

BillsFanNC Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago The largest economy in the world, with all the complexities and variables that influence its overall health, can turn on a dime. Literally in a single day. The Orange Menace told me it would and I believed it. - teef

I only voted for him because I believed the alternative would be worse. i voted for him for the same reason, but why is it naive? if someone running for president says they're going to fix a problem, we shouldn't have faith in that statment?

Only if you believe in politicians. I would have expected a 48 year-old person to have learned otherwise by that age. You indicated a short time ago that you expected it to happen starting on day one. That’s naïve. 1
