Doug the lefty is giving us on the right advice? NOT.
Looks like Chamber of Commerce rather have cheap labor than a country
Your turn!
No doubt the US economy will be adversely affected by tariffs. Trump is playing a game of chicken, but he’s driving a tank while Mexico is driving a VW bug.
“merely political ends” Operative phrase. Perhaps, but what about diseases, drugs, illicit goods, the increased burden on health, welfare, education, and other resources—not to mention the future of the country—as in cheap labor for future RAT votes? That is not important in her view? Everything is political to the left.
I don’t think they understand what Trump is trying to accomplish. The article’s premise is that the tariffs will be permanent. They will only last until Mexico feels enough pain to stop the flow of illegals. Mexico is complicit, photos show police escorts and buses. Obviously, somebody is also providing food, water, medical attention...anything to make sure the illegals get to the US as quickly as possible. Yesterday it was reported that Mexico’s president said the illegals had the right to settle in America. This man needs an attitude adjustment and Trump is the guy to do it. Trump has limited tools to use so he selected the one he thought would be most effective. Personally, I’d have started at 10% and bumped it up five percent every seven days. At some point early, I’d discourage American tourism. I would also announce an impending (date to be announced) closure of the borders to all personnel traffic who can’t prove citizenship. But, then, I don’t have Trump’s patience and sunny disposition. ;)
No pain no gain. To paraphrase fans of exercise,
that pain you feel is migrants going home.
The mistake Doug makes is thinking Trump is not for free markets. Trump uses tariffs to open markets and make them free
Yak... yak... yak... The “Sky Is Falling” drama and sensationalism is epic. Those Americans why may, possibly experience a price increase on a tomato or asparagus speer should be willing to take the 39 cent for their country.
There is some kind of psychosis going on with tariffs. Every other country uses tariff to their advantage and they are as normal as any other economic tool.
But in the USA just saying the word tariff brings about fear and loathing like the black plague.
In the long run, the new supply chain will be in our favor, as well as for those emerging economies who catch the slack.

Repeal the 16th( and 17th) amendment and make the tariffs permanent
This guy and Adam Schiff are inter changeable.
For some unknown and hideous reason, Schoen has wormed his way into our space...BUT NOT ON MY TV.
SCHOEN shows up.....CLICK
Furthermore, from what I am reading, it appears that the threat of tariffs is working.
Mexico is going to visit DC..Who whadda thunk?
Seems promising.
This guy Tom J. Donohue who runs the Chamber of Commerce is public enemy number one. He has spent the last 30 years obsessively trying to destroy this country. He's in his 80s and is as hateful as ever. Hopefully death has set its sights on him. Then we can all dance on his grave.
If you are a deficit hawk and also against import tariffs then you are the biggest hypocrite of all time.
Yes yes, from the same people who told us Trumps economic plan would collapse the economy back in 2016...
Bugger off
The USA used to be funded by tariffs before income tax appropriated our money.
