You’re right.
The Baraqqis are depending on China to fund their monster deficits.
Without the Chinese funding, any guesses what interest rates would jump to?

buy stock in cooper tire and replace your tires SOON even if they are not completely worn out.
distributors will raise prices before this even goes into effect-like gas prices.

Its a tax, pure and simple on every American that drives, or buys anything delivered br truck.

This and other things like it that Zero implements will quickly drive up inflation, and that will bail out the banks (nearly all of which are insolvent) holding millions of home and commercial loans that are underwater.

What is worse is US tire companies selling their name to crappy Chinese-made tires. I’ve had eight (two sets)of “Tiger Paw” tires sold by BJ’s Wholesale fail after 5,000 miles. Tred came off, side walls cracked. I protested to BJ’s and the manager told me to get lost.
