This Is How You Lose the Tariff War

rofl. The people bending you over are our own billionaires and the cabinet, congresspeople, and supreme court justices in their pockets. They are feeding you a false narrative that they will protect you from everyone out to get you while they charge you more and pay you less to add more to their already obscene wealth.

This "rah rah Murica" tough talk is nauseatingly ignorant bravado. While I am not blind to the fact that we have walked on the backs of some other countries and peoples to be as rich and successful as we are it is also true that America has been a positive force around the world not only as an example of social civility but in it's generosity both financially and intellectually. The America that I believe in is a force of good in the world not some thin-skinned psychopath with the emotional and intellectual level of an infant.

I guess you now regret that Biden didn’t pack SCOTUS with additional partisan liberal justices and thus you don’t have a legal avenue to halt Trump’s progress & subvert the will of the people who elected him into office. Too bad. So sad.

We stand on the shoulders of giants that founded our free & democratic republic and those that bled on the battlefield to preserve it. We are indeed a force for good in the world, but before we can help others we must take care of our own.

I LOVE how upset people are that inflation didn't go up higher than they did.

"No, no, no... NEXT month will be the month that the economy craters because of the Trump Tariffs..."

Funny how the Feds weren’t worried about inflation, when it was roughly the same or worse then as it is now, cutting rates just before the election. No way should we conclude they are politically biased and wanted to make Biden’s economy look better than it was.

As explained in the below article, you should act now -- while there's still time -- to look at your spending habits and cut back wherever possible..

“The consistent upward trend in inflation is the latest sign that President Trump’s reckless trade war and the resulting economic uncertainty are wreaking havoc on family budgets and the American economy,” Natalie Baker, director of economic analysis at the Center for American Progress, said in a statement soon after the inflation report was issued.

The CPI report, taken together with a “lackluster” jobs report, “is a clear warning sign that the president’s policies are raising prices and squeezing consumers,” said Baker, calling it a “chilling reminder that the risk of stagflation is growing by the day.”

As inflation rises, cutbacks will be necessary for many consumers. But the time to start your pullback — to build an emergency fund — is now, not when things get worse.

Inflation under Biden went up over 7% in a few months and we were told not to worry about it.

Inflation under Trump goes up less than 1% in a few months and we are told it’s in the end of the world and we have to start stockpiling supplies now.

Gotta love it.
