If we raise tariffs to 100%, then the stuff from China will double in price. Making their cheap stuff expensive will fix everything. They already have 100% tariffs on the stuff we make, right?
Of course, nobody will be able to afford to buy anything, but hey, you have to break some eggs if you’re going to make omelets.

gettomg rod pf Obama and the leftists is the solutionIt's not that simple. The out-of-control elitist globalist elements of the right are also having it their own way with Obama. It's like he has a strategy that he can serve both masters by destroying the middle class.
Government, banking, and corporate/global interests are all out of control. What we need is smaller governments that are more responsible to the people they're supposed to serve.

Back and forth? When did that happen?

OK. Works for me.

If an alien race that didn’t understand human language but otherwise understood how cultures behave, observed Obama’s political career and actions, they would reach no other conclusion than that he campaigned on, was elected (twice) on, and is now delivering on his promise to completely tank the economy and turn the US into an utterly destitute nation.

Then make it 200%. If doubling prices for consumers works, why not triple them? Heck, why stop there?
Really, I hate that Chinese crap, and I’d like to keep it out of everybody’s hands. I don’t want it, and I don’t want anybody else to have it either. This “freedom of choice” jazz has to go because people are acting against their own interests, and we can fix that.

I don't know why you're obsessed with the idea of "bringing back jobs to America." Those jobs aren't coming back, mainly because the number of American jobs that have been lost to Asia are dwarfed by the job lost to
automation.
Unless you plan on outlawing computers and machinery, that ain't going to change.

You disagree with GeronL, and then proceed to outline why GeronL is right on the mark, which IMO he is.
Good job.

I hate to defend Obama in any situation, but let’s be real here: Most of America’s financial woes are beyond repair. When you live in a consumer-driven economy that is fueled by massive public and private debt, you’re living in a social order that isn’t long for the world.

“and leftists”
of both parties. I am not even certain I need to keep pointing out that both parties are a lot alike.

barry has been PURPOSELY CAUSING the economic problems we have!!!!!!!!!
He hasn’t given up on anything! You can bet your last tax dollar that he’s got more up his sleeve to further destroy our economy so that it will NEVER recover.
That’s been the plan all along. Don’t be fooled.
To: painter
I certainly have heard of
"Smoot-Hawley," and your assessment of its effect is sort of right. I don't think it "caused" the Depression but it sure as heck didn't help matters (like it won't now). CNN has plenty of arguments that we're wrong about that, and in reality we can tax ourselves into prosperity.
(I forgot my "/s". Sorry.)

If he really wanted a solution to America’s financial woes, he would go back in time, look at what works, and do it.
Logical conclusion would be that he’s not interested in anything other than his own agenda, which does not include a robust American economy.
Less than $5k to go!!

The left has us right where it wants us. It’s just a matter of when to pull the plug.
