[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump has announced an across the board tariff on anything being imported from China, Mexico or Canada.

So much for cars, produce and most of what people buy at Walmart and Target. I guess their bribe wasn't enough.[/quote]

And exactly what is the problem with this?[/quote]
If you have enough money that a 25 percent increase in cost for nearly everything is insignificant to you, great for you. The problem is that some of us are already struggling and that kind of cost increase without a corresponding increase in pay will result in people who were able to meet basic needs being unable to do so. [/quote]

You are not too bright.  It will not be a 25% increase.

And there will be supply and demand impacts that there will be other suppliers.

Don’t fall for globalist propaganda [/quote]

Please explain.[b] No economist agrees[/b] so it would be helpful for you to expand. [/quote]

Not that poster you replied to, but in general it is a good idea not to fall for the "experts" propaganda. They are almost always just paid shills and mouthpieces. Take everything they say with a huge dose of salt. [/quote]

No. I like experts. If I have a problem with my car, I take it to the mechanic. If I have a plumbing problem, I seek the expertise of a plumber.  I would not fly in an airplane without a licensed pilot. I would hire a lawyer to help with a legal problem. Similarly, I find it more efficient to listen to economists about the likely economic consequences of an economic policy.  Also, welcome the analysis of an economist with a different conclusion. Economics is not a hard science so there is room for disagreement.  But if every single economist concludes the same thing, it’s not propaganda. The world is not that well controlled or organized. [/quote]

It’s no use…DCUM MAGA told us during the campaign that they hate economists. Their *feelings* guide them more than behavioral science and data. [/quote]

We need to shout it from the rooftops - we warned tariffs would increase costs and disrupt the market and hurt businesses

We need to hold the media accountable to report accurately about the causes and effects.[/quote]
