Tariffs

[Troglodyte]

People that pay them in large part do so willingly because they won’t change how they spend money.

Like they refused to buy American made bananas, coffee, electronics and clothes? Good luck with that.

Especially now that they’re passing the tarriffs onto consumers, ammarite?

Dims are horrified that raising taxes raises prices.

Jerome “Too Late” Powell has done it again!!! He is TOO LATE, and actually, TOO ANGRY, TOO STUPID, & TOO POLITICAL, to have the job of Fed Chair. He is costing our Country TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, in addition to one of the most incompetent, or corrupt, renovations of a building(s) in the history of construction! Put another way,“Too Late” is a TOTAL LOSER, and our Country is paying the price!

It’s only when they’re on gasoline that they raise prices, right?

You're so stupid when it comes to economics (like most Liberals) I don't even know where to start.
That's why I don't bother.

I’m smart enough to know that you have lived in an economically depressed town your entire life. Strange.

Kinda like George Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life".
Trust me, I cuss myself out at least twice a week driving home from work.
