If you think this is actually going to happen, you’re retarded.
Where the frick is Pam Bondi?? First we got that stupid Epstein files “release” and now she is radio silent?? She’s been a part of the establishment for years and this proves it. Cannot be trusted.

So I would have to pay the max every year and once I retire I would make too much money to draw from it? That’s literally theft and is complete bullshite.

Yeah, if they move production back to the U.S., the tariffs can easily be avoided.


They do produce them in the US. The parts they use and the steel come from Canada and Mexico, which is subject to tariffs.

These so called welfare queens are keeping food on the table.


Food prices are at historic highs AND the farmers want a government bailout. In exchange, are food prices going to be reduced? If not, then no bailout.

wtf are you talking about. Still red across the board

Our food supply is a strength few nations have, so I don't have a major problem with aid going in that direction


Why are subsidizing their losses but privatizing their profit? If the government is bailing them out and our tax dollars are keeping them afloat, then their food products need to be substantially cheaper or essentially free.

Trump administration officials and lawmakers are considering aid for farmers as retaliation looms against U.S. tariffs. China and Canada have already levied duties on some of the top U.S. agricultural exports. During Trump's first term, farmers got $23 billion after an earlier round of tariffs.


quote:

On Friday, China—a major export market for farmers—announced a 34% tariff on U.S. imports, after previously imposing an added 15% tariff on U.S.-grown chicken, wheat, corn, and cotton and a 10% levy on sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, seafood, fruit, vegetables, and dairy products. In addition, Canada has levied 25% duties on goods worth $30 billion including peanut butter, orange juice, and coffee. The country also threatened to expand its tariffs to $155 billion worth of imported goods, including poultry, produce, and dairy products, if the U.S. maintains its trade policy. The European Union has threatened to retaliate against soybean, beef, and poultry farmers in the bloc’s effort to target red states.


quote:

“We hope there will be a bailout,” Barry Evans, a sorghum and cotton farmer in Texas who sits on the board of directors for a sorghum grain trade group, told The Wall Street Journal. “If we don’t get something, it will be quite a disaster.”



It’s total bullshite if we give this group ANOTHER bailout. We are 32 trillion dollars in debt and we can’t afford to keep giving money we don’t have to these welfare queens. If no one is bailing out the average worker whose 401ks have plummeted, why would we bail out these farmers.

How likely is it that interest rates will be lowered by the fall?


If these tariffs stay in place there’s a zero percent chance, unless you want inflation to skyrocket.

quote:

And how bad does the economic outlook have to get for there to be a chance at lowering them?


We have to be on the edge of a depression for interest rates to go down, assuming the tariffs are in place

That jobs report says otherwise


So if the jobs report starts to show slumping numbers, is that a good indicator of a recession to you?

Oil prices down to 4 year lows!!

WSJ article

quote:

Oil prices slid Friday to their lowest levels in nearly four years. A plan to increase supply by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies added to fears that tariffs will plunge the global economy into recession. Brent crude, the global benchmark, slid nearly 8% to under $65 a barrel, which if it holds would be the lowest end-of-day settlement price since August 2021. West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. equivalent, dropped more than 8% to around $61, which if it holds will be the lowest since April 2021. In an unexpected move, eight OPEC+ countries said Thursday they will increase output by 411,000 barrels a day next month.

Shut them down or privatize. There latest line of BS is just BS


What about the senior citizens who live in rural areas and get their prescriptions in the mail? What are they supposed to do if you shut it down?
This is obviously a false flag operation so that the Trump administration can send military forces to New Mexico to ramp up security and deportations there. There is no way some basement dwelling soy boy could do this.

The same Mustang GT I bought in 2020 for 46k costs 60k now and that was before tarrifs.


What else happened in 2020 that could have led to increased car prices??
I planned on buying a new vehicle this year but will be holding off. Despite what Trump says, auto prices are going to increase by thousands of dollars this year due to the tariffs. American cars use Canadian steel so I’m not sure how those won’t jump in price either. I want my next car to last for a long time and American made cars are not generally known for reliability.
Why are they raising prices at all? I thought the country, not the consumer, pays the tariffs . That’s what Trump said.
