When i see a bill like this i inevitably ask myself questions. In this case the first would be,who had input? This seems like a mistake with the potential for as we both said,a trade war so who decided the benefits outweighed the negatives? My second question comes off of the first and is,why do this if it was done with malice aforethought? The only conclusion i come up with is,assuming this was done knowing the potential fallout,is that our governments finances are far worse off than we know. Far worse than the rating agencies,our trade partners and those supporting us by buying our debt know as well.

I’m willing o bet real money... wait, let’s make that viable Quinoa seed, that such is the case.
Given that the screwy ‘math’ [well accounting & definitions] they use to ‘budget’ is STILL not enough to paint over the true picture any longer, I’d say it’s a pretty solid ‘bet’.
