Oh my, Brian.
That is amazing.
You guys should find a very old, ugly, abrasive woman who can't stand up on her own and have her run for president.
Oh, wait........
btw, is that YOU in the photo?
You look like a man outstanding in his field!

No, once again, you totally missed the point.
Getting to be a habit.
Not blaming anything on Hillary, other than YOU guys made your bed, as you keep telling US about Special K.
Thought it ironic that you guys did just that.
You failed to beat DRUMPH! 
Nothing to blame on Hillary - TRUMP is going through a PROCESS.
And it is driving YOU nuts!
You sit up night making your own memes.....hilarious.

What part of that do you not understand?  |
The part where US consumers that are paying higher prices for Chinese goods will slowly switch back to American made goods and then the profits and jobs will go to Americans.
And since we are running a trade deficit, that means we can do more damage to them than they can do to us with tariffs until they deal fairly.
IMO, this is so basic, I can't believe anyone on earth is still discussing it. Everyone is brainwashed because they are thinking on a global level or personal level instead of a national level.
When you run a trade deficit, THE OTHER GUY gets the profits and jobs and you get the cheaper goods. PERIOD END OF STORY. That's THE DEAL.
If you want that deal for America (as a country) imo you are crazy.
I'll say it a million times.
If anyone on the planet wants that deal with me I'll give it to them.
I'll buy 20k of goods from you every year if you buy 50k from me and I'll give you good deal on the goods.
At the end it I'll have way more money and I'll put all my cousins to work. You'll have cheaper goods, unemployed cousins, and way less wealth accumulation than me.
The point of all of this is to make the trade deals fairer and for the United states to win market share from foreign countries so the wealth is flowing into the United States instead of away and American citizens are getting the jobs instead of foreigners. For that benefit, a few people that were making out like bandits in the US will have to pay more for socks.
