Funny thing is that the tariffs are actually POPULAR.
And they put Americans out of jobs and we only have debt to finance our survival. No household could raise a family with only credit cards. You have to work sometime and pay off the credit cards. Otherwise you won’t get a credit card company to give you credit. You don’t get to eat at restaurants while you are paying off the credit cards. You don’t buy a boat when you have to pay for groceries with credit cards. Mortgaging your home to pay off credit cards is just going to postpone the time when you can’t qualify for credit. And don’t forget that interest makes the credit cards more expensive because after you eat the groceries the amount you pay for the groceries increases.
The basis for abortion is about getting people to live pointless lives without children because you don’t care what happens after you die if you don’t have children to worry about. Ultimately we have people without children making decisions that only affect people who have children. Childless liberals want to borrow money on the promise that children they don’t have will pay it back.
‘ Funny thing is that the tariffs are actually POPULAR.’
You’ve seen that where?
STFU Rand, you weirdo.
What about all the cost cutting Trump is doing? Cutting the deficit bye a TRILLION dollars in his first year?
Tariffs to fix our huge trade deficit?
What is wrong with you?

.....
In the foreign countries that tariff the US freely, without reciprocity until Trump.
A little reciprocity is MAGA approved.
What’s not popular in these foreign countries is an America First President that dares to do unto them as they do unto us..
Your mileage doesn’t vary from them..
Very popular with MAGA, though..
He doesn’t want to understand the broader plan. Why doesn’t he sit with Trump and Vance rather than blather on without understanding the objective?
Rand and you are complete F’ing idiots on this issue. No one on FR agrees with you - you are just pissing in the wind!
When Rand Paul is in the same boat as Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski....
That tells you all anyone needs to know
‘ The survey found 39 percent of registered voters support increasing tariffs on all goods while 37 percent oppose it. The remainder, 24 percent, were unsure’
I wouldn’t consider that to be popular, especially when the poll was completed before the market lost 6 trillion in value.
Have you seen the autoworkers & steelworker union leaders & workers? They are clicking their heels with joy so grateful that Trump kept his promises.
Just a couple below:

That shows support by some, not popularity.
900 US autoworkers were laid off as a result of the tariffs after only 2 days already.
Let’s see what those autoworkers say should that trend continue.
BRAVO, great comment, 100% correct, well done!
Fine. Those laid of will get jobs in the new factories and expansions already pledged. There will be a transition with some hardship and a much better future for Americans.
‘ Those laid of will get jobs in the new factories and expansions already pledged.’
No new automobile factories have been pledged, or announced yet. Some manufacturing has been moved to existing factories though.
Wobbly tells me that these people are controlled by their donors and/or they are globalists who could care less about American workers. Let’s hope President Trump doesn’t go wobbly. We are at the crossroads of historic (and necessary) change. Our fate as a nation is at stake.
On “imported” vehicles.
Buy American.
Paul cares only about Paul.
Tge Feds monetary policy did all the damage.
They squeezed the money supply by a third leaving no capital for investments. Lead to job losses.
👍
Their economies need us more than we need them.
Their exports are huge percentages of their GDP. Our imports are about 20% of our consumption.
