A lot of ignorace in the writers post. 86% of the US ecnomy is unrelated to imports. The impact of tariffs are minor here but major to other countries. S

What a dumb statement. Ask WalMart or Apple about that. Maybe, just maybe, that's why Trump backed down again and gave Apple a special break. Ya' think?

And I'm sure you can explain why the dollar is crashing, and 10-year bonds are doing the same. Them "other countries" are telling us they don't want anything to do with our $36 trillion (and growing) debt-ridden country and the associated disaster we're barreling toward. Them tariffs we're were just pouring gasoline on a fire. Way to go Trump.

And you're trying to tell us it don't matter? Well, maybe some goofball may believe your crazy statement. I sure don't.

That road we've been kicking the can down is getting so much closer to a dead-end street.

Also the nation on the down side of trading imbalance always benefits from the tariff. The nation on the high side loses.
