This is bad news for Trumps agenda, those tax cuts didn't help GM I guess.

It's just a little exaggeration to get his message across to the public. Like when he touted the impact of his steel tariffs. Nothing wrong with a guy tooting his own horn every once in a while. :faint:

Thank God I can start making carrot cake again. :cool:

Well it is factual, instead of carrots farmers increased soy. The very small fraction that these United States sells into mainland China is a pittance compared to what China sells into our country. The pressure of trade tariffs is well worth the pain we absorb for objectives of forcing fair trade with China. Our friend with the economics degree is more concerned about his portfolio than those poor poor Walmart shoppers.

GM has always been their own worse enemy.

Look around? They have the worst designed cars on the planet. Wasted billions on the Volt.

The Cadillac division has been a loser for 15 yrs plus

Pontiac and Olds disappeared after producing quite possibly the worst looking cars ever.


Anybody recall the Aztek?

Good riddance!

Did you just make this up? The big carrot growers are in California, Washington, and Texas. Soybeans are a major crop in the upper Midwest: Iowa, Minnesota, and the Dakotas. And soybean farmers there are hurting.

But it's so much easier for the lazy-minded to blame Trump for GM's woes.

Carrots are like grass, will grow anyplace. Yes a shortage in 2018 because other crops.

Soy Bean farmers can plant numerous other crops besides Soy Beans. They've been planting crops based on proposed prices for the upcoming year forever. They will just choose to plant other crops for the most part. In ND farmers have a choice between about fourteen different crops. Most have half a dozen different crops in a given year. And with the steep reduction of Soy Bean acres planted over the next couple years will come record prices for Soy Beans the following couple years. Happens all the time with crops.

Including carrots?


Are ND farmers hurt or not by Chinese tariffs on soybeans?

Ummm, they would never do that

Why not? Most of the politicians there and elsewhere are just as clueless about tariffs as Trump is, and don't realize that all they are doing is imposing higher taxes on their own citizens.

Because at the end of the day the grown-ups will decide, i.e. those with the money in their pockets.

The "grown-ups" with money in their pockets hate tariffs. They love the profits on cheap imports sold to citizens of the richest country in the world in a healthy economy.
