Oh, ok. I guess all that good economic news about the job market was just our imagination cause, you know, a Deep State study or something.

Well, any of it that was true was racist and xenophobic. Cause you know, anything good about Orange Man would vindicate his policies, which would lead to reduced dependency, which is bad, cause big goobermint is the only good. Or something.

Ah, "A new study finds...."
It USED to be "British science finds..."

Trump's presidency has been a GOLD MINE for us--so far. I imagine that things will just get BETTER and BETTER.

One problem with tariffs: they don’t tackle THE SOURCE of our underlying economic problems that made industry leave our shores to begin with - the source being the ECONOMIC INTERFERENCE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT stifling economic growth and competitiveness including
- HIGH TAXES,
- unconstitutional dead-end REGULATIONS,
- unconstitutional business-and-job-killing FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE,
- UNCONSTITUTIONALLY FEDERALLY PROTECTED UNIONS
- engaged in basically unconstitutional SUBSIDES (BRIBES) FOR SPECIAL INTERESTS.
- stupidly DESTABILIZING & DEVALUING THE DOLLAR.

Trump has done a lot to deal with those underlying problems caused by the feds. Tariffs isn’t one of them. Tariffs are more federal economic interference and more taxes on the America consumer. Not good.

Please try to limit your contrary responses to reasonable refutations of my rationale.

“Trump’s Tariffs Harming Economy, Study Finds”

Yeah, China’s economy. Big time.

The US can take the hurt for a lot longer than China can, as the output in this country ramps back up to fill the gaps that China had been providing at cut rates. Awkward for a while, but the long-term effects far outweigh the short-term displacement.

This is hardly surprising if true. Trump is no fan of tariffs. He is using them as a hopefully temporary measure to extract concessions from China and our other trading partners.

Yes tariffs hurt. But so do huge trade imbalances. Get rid of the trade imbalances with better deals and Trump will drop his tariffs like a hot rock.

Right now Trump should stay the course. The payoff will be there in the end.

You only think you have a new job or a pay raise. That’s a delusion caused by legalized pot smoking. Really, you’re selling your belongings and haven’t eaten in three days.

Because certainly it can’t be because of states charging sales tax for a lot of mail order items now...

Wait a minute... so manufacturing jobs are growing since Trump took office. Mainly due to agressive trade policies against China and others but, those same policies are costing manufacturing jobs???

Nonsense

This just goes to show that a study can claim anything despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

What has really harmed our economy are Democrats intentionally weakening Trump for their on political gain however minuscule it might be. It potentially put him in a weaker bargaining position with China etc.

It hurt America’s economy.

And what was the alternative?

Chemotherapy hurts a patient. Cancer hurts even more.

China had to be stopped from sapping our exonomy. This slowed them down.

Maybe they’re hurting the Chinese economy, but not ours.

IOW, according to the Fed, the federal income tax (income tariff) on citizens and legal residents of the US is good for the economy, while the tariff on foreign made goods is bad.

Thanks Federal Reserve. So when will you be opening up your books for the full audit?

“have led to not only higher producer prices but also a loss of jobs across the U.S.”

Not actually LESS jobs, just less than their twisted models predict would have existed, if Leftist policies were in place.

We should trust their models, rather than our own lying eyes.
