Its absolutely incredible to me what a weak-willed bunch of pussies we all have become. Your post assumes tariffs are a good idea. Most research showed it cost Americans over half a million dollars per job created with his washing machine tariffs. So it's a little more complicated than just suck it up. The left kicked the can down the road more because the current state of the economy is as fragile as it's been in over a decade and any solutions that don't severely impact our current quality of life (that don't involve taxing the F out of the most wealthy, which you won't let happen) are not very realistic. So my bad if it's a little unsettling to pivot from a somewhat justified extreme level of caution, to rip the the band aid off and let it bleed out. We have no undue button at this point and the notion that this current sacrifice will somehow lead to better and more fulfilling times is not an opinion shared by most economists or historians.

Maybe you should stop and think that the man who has been right about everything is on to something. Which he is. Because he’s doing what needs to be done. There is a bigger plan at work. Trus Trump.

So explain to me how the people who said they were going to abolish income taxes also are pondering a new tax bracket so they can pass a tax cut ? Explain to me how the same person said tariffs were going to fund cutting taxes but is now also saying that he wants to negotiate to get taxes to zero. Yeah… trust. Go ***** yourself 1 1
Big Blitz Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Only Trump could do this. All the other politicians would fear the next election. 2 minutes ago, meazza said: So explain to me how the people who said they were going to abolish income taxes also are pondering a new tax bracket so they can pass a tax cut ?

It should make you ask - if you immediately are resorting to orange man bad - who’s the critical thinker again? Tariffs are not an overall net positive. We know this. Trump knows this. So what are they doing that doesn’t destroy the GOP for a generation? You think they didn’t think this thru - oh wait - you probably didn’t.

You think they didn’t think this thru - oh wait - you probably didn’t. The world has had plenty of independent thinkers who have come to horrible conclusions, many of which have been world leaders. Those decisions have had horrible consequences to the citizens of those countries. So no, that doesn’t give confidence in his decisions.

This isn’t even a stock market question. GDP is projected to be -2.4% before these latest tariffs. Originally it was set to go much higher.

Or maybe a few do, they join the union, and we make a part for 5x. We subsidize the uneducated with jobs because they didn’t want to go to school. What type of structure again redistributes wealth to the lower class? I forget what they call that?

While I find the distribution wrong, I don't despise those with more. whether they admit it or not, most of them do. And what do they do in response? Elect a lying, crooked, cheating billionaire that wouldn't want any of them within 1000 yards of any of his golf courses while he continues grifting. Stupidity is destroying this nation.

I’ve explained to you and provided you sources showing that housing prices will never decline unless you massively increase supply. You ignored them. Im a city planner. This is my wheelhouse. There is literally no other option than to increase supply. 2
