Tariffs work as NK agrees to denuclearize.

This will be a big nothing-burger in terms of policy at that point.

Your clueless, what our North & South bordered countries are exempt from is to be announced per NAFTA redone or they get the same knee pads as everyone else. China dumping with the help of anyone else is over. Exactly what you did not want is going be, any country who puts a 30% duty on our cars to enter their EU country will face the same 30% here. Plenty of material for you to post for over the next few years.

The tariffs are mainly aimed at China and they put pressure on NK

So we place tariffs on steel imports but then offer exemptions to our leading importers...
No, my friend, this is an optics victory for the #Maga crowd that likely does nothing.

Why don't you hold off with that until President Donald J. Trump really pisses on you real soon. Your patting yourself on the back too early for tomorrow and too late for today. I never believed your conservative bull, but I did think that you thought that you were smoother than baby shit and smarter than the rest of us. Not.

If you put a tax on an import but then give tax exemptions to the people it most applies to is it really a tax? Yes or no?

The vast majority of Americans support President Trump’s economic nationalist agenda on foreign trade, wherein the populist president is in the process of renegotiating multinational trade deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
As Trump signed into law his 25 percent tariff on imported steel and 10 percent tariff on imported aluminum to protect American workers and U.S. industries, more than 80 percent of Americans say they support the president’s trade economic nationalism.
In a Harvard-Harris poll, about 83 percent of Americans said they supported Trump’s effort to level the playing field on foreign trade to reverse the decades-long pattern of multinational free trade agreements which have wiped out broad portions of the Rust Belt and middle America.

This country has been in an economic down spiral for decades, accelerating with true 'free' trade Republican, G.H.W. Bush right on through the America hating Barack Obama, inclusive, thanks to the lie and hoax of unfettered 'free' trade, which has proven not to be free by any means or metrics.

Your real good with the play by play Trump hate, you will have plenty of material over the next few years. But the reality will be the shit on your face with everything you complain about, I can't imagine anything that comes to pass that your going to like.

Because for the most part they do. We keep talking about automobile tariffs ignoring the fact American companies produce their cars for the European market in Europe. Meanwhile European automakers make their cars for the US market in... you guessed it... America.
Shortening the time from completed product to market is another one of those rules of economics. Made possible by a global economy.

This
They always leave so many obvious things out of the argument. Because things have been done for so long (idiotically), that should be our default presumption of what's right or what to do? Silliness. As if Trump hasn't proven this all wrong and his supporters right, with win after win after win.

I answered that relatively easily...
Look at how many countries place duties on our agricultural exports. Almost none. We do food real cheap.
As an aside NAFTA devastated both Canadian and Mexican agri-industry.

They are all free to grow their own.
If we are selling cheap, we need to raise prices.
If they don't like it, let them eat cake! :pound:

Your in no position to demand a yes/no on anything. I see this issue a NAFTA that is in flux with our President who I support 110%. I give our President a wide latitude in dealing with trade and people who call themselves democrats.

Uh huh...
U.S. eases way to more tariff exemptions under pressure from allies
Quote:
“The president can do exemptions and my expectation is there may be some other countries that he considers in the next two weeks,” Mnuchin said in an interview with broadcaster CNBC on Friday.
|
So I'll ask again... is it really a tariff on imports if all the major importers are exempt?
Feel free to keep dodging.

I am not, policy is in flux, this is how this President operates. I have no idea what the final result will be so I will afford myself as much time to chew over policy that is not complete until such time that it is. Your need to be part of the resistance is duly noted.

The free trade advocates remind me of that scene from Animal House.
After decades of getting our clock cleaned, rather than observing and admitting to reality they stick to fully discredited theory. It has to be the greatest case of cognitive bias in all human history. To be clear, I was guilty of it for about 20+ years also even as the evidence I was wrong first started trickling in. But it's obvious now.
Apparently years ago, the smartest and most honest guy in the room was Ross Perot.

Well the moving target on the policy makes the reaction understandably confused. The EU, South Korea and Japan will;
1) Seek exemption citing similar national security concerns.
2) If not granted will retaliate.

What evidence of "getting our clock cleaned"?
Massive levels of consumption? High standards of living? Highest manufacturing output in history? Cheap goods? $18 Trillion GDP? Full employment?
You keep saying this and others but I've seen no evidence of the global trade economy kicking our ass...

If a country puts a 30% duty on our cars entering their country it is just fair we put 30% on them, the cost of access to our economy.

You aren't putting the cost "on them", you are putting it on the consumers in this country.

This is going to disrupt Europe big time, forget your numbers because when we reach Y2K numbers and far exceed that period of time it will be at the expense of everyone else. Just as the last 30 years has been at our expense. This is just the very begining and you full well know it.

If the prices on imported cars are increased by tariffs, do you really believe that American car companies would not raise their prices?

I think American car manufacturers would have the best years ever recorded. Our economy will explode with jobs, Trump will become unbeatable. Every positive record will be shattered, socialism abroad will go into a tailspin that it can never recover from.

When you are running consistent huge trade deficits you are losing.
You are getting depreciating goods. They are getting dollars which they use to buy US stocks, bonds, and real estate. The income from the government bonds comes out of our tax dollars and since they control the sale and purchase of trillions dollars of US bonds, they have influence over our interest rates and thus have political clout in the US also.
When you USED to have a vibrant middle class and it is evaporating because the jobs to produce goods have moved overseas, your are losing.
But hey, some of us bought blue chips stocks in the 80s and get cheaper goods at Walmarts so everything must be great.

I think we would enter uncharted territory, our country would see the expansion of these United States uncomfortable to some but higher wages and prices. Ross Perot might then talk of the sucking sound heard in Europe being deafening.
