The Frankish Reich Posted August 11 Author Posted August 11 To defeat the enemy we are trying like hell to become the enemy. The latest bizarro "export tax" on chips sold to China is just the next step. Trump's ultimate goal (and he's stated it as such before, with things like the national cryptocoin reserve idea) is a kind of Sovereign Wealth Fund, in which he can dole out investments and pay back political favors with his own slush fund.

Totally unconstitutional Article 1, Section 9, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits Congress from laying taxes and duties on articles exported from any state.1 Known as the Export Clause,2 it applies to taxes and duties, not user fees.3 The Supreme Court has interpreted the Export Clause to address shipments only to foreign countries, not shipments to unincorporated territories, such as Puerto Rico and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.4 The Court has also construed the Export Clause as requiring not simply an omission of a tax upon the articles exported, but also a freedom from any tax which directly burdens the process of exporting.5

B-Man Posted August 15 Posted August 15 Wyoming Timber Industry Set For Huge Comeback, More Sawmills Needed, Officials Say by Mark Heinz The pieces might be falling into place for Wyoming’s timber industry to make a strong comeback, legislators and land management officials said. The volume of timber being cut in Wyoming might outpace the state’s few remaining sawmills to meet the demand. The increase in demand coincides with tariffs being placed on Canadian lumber, which for decades had been a main source of wood in the United States. Last week, the U.S. Commerce Department announced a significant increase on duties of Canadian lumber imports to 35%. Long-term success of expanding the Wyoming timber industry hinges on building back the “local timber industry,” instead of trucking logs to mills in other states https://cowboystatedaily.com/2025/08/12/wyoming-timber-industry-set-for-huge-comeback-more-sawmills-needed-officials-say/ .

B-Man Posted August 21 Posted August 21 How Trump’s tariffs bamboozled the EU. REMEMBER the European Union’s triumphalism about avoiding the worst of Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs? Well, the EU came off worse, and still has not reached a settlement, even while it claims a resolution. On July 27, the EU agreed a US tariff rate of 15 per cent on a range of goods. Just think about that for a minute. Imagine yourself in 2024, considering the possibility that the EU – the self-described agent of European economic growth – would accept a whopping tariff on its exports to America, its largest national market. In 2024, the average tariff on EU exports was around 2.4 per cent! The 15 per cent tariff applies to many goods that the EU considers competitive with American goods, including automobiles, auto parts, pharmaceuticals and semi-conductors. These sectors had been scheduled with American tariffs from 25 per cent (automobiles and parts) to 30 per cent (pharmaceuticals). Did the EU accept 15 per cent in those sectors as a bitter pill so that it would be better off overall? No. The average tariff on US imports from the EU will surge to 17.5 per cent in 2026. Some of the EU’s strongest sectors face even steeper tariffs. For steel, aluminium and copper, US tariffs remain at 50 per cent. US tariffs will reduce the EU’s annual gross domestic product by 0.2 per cent, and industrial output by 0.3 per cent. And the impact will be worse for some members. The European Commission (which, after all, is not accountable to member states or citizens) often makes deals that it can spin as a resolution to a crisis without admitting the downsides for member states. https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/how-trumps-tariffs-bamboozled-the-eu/ .

I would have thought someone that drones on about his spendthrift Thanksgiving feast and the glories of 20 McNuggets feeding three adults (someone gets shorted. Who?) would have been appreciative of the suggestion. 1
