    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Tell us you haven't been to Walmart lately without saying you haven't been to Walmart lately. I wish your statement were true. I really do. But one party broadly lost an election because of the price of groceries. I don't think there is clear understanding of what is gained and what is lost...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    It would have been easier 40 years ago. And yes, everything is cheaper to do today. But Americans don't want to make sacrifices, which is the true cost. It doesn't matter if it is immigration or social security or mule deer hunting. Maybe taking a chainsaw approach will lead to some positive...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    You also know that there is a difference between a refugee, an asylum seeker, and an illegal immigrant. You also know that most Americans don't know (or care?) of the difference. You also probably know that ICE is understaffed and the courts are so backed up we could never get through these...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Nothing taken out of context here. The statement above shows a lack of understanding. Maybe you wrote it in haste. I think we would agree that we need a new, updated, and larger legal immigration policy. But the large-scale deportation is a net loss for the American economy. Any argument...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    For someone who doesn't like to pick sides, you sure sound like you have picked a side. You are arguing semantics. I don't care what you choose to call anyone. Start the fire and let's see what happens. Warnings are not being listened to.

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    You didn't give it back to the government (of the people, by the people). You gave it to corporations. Again, this is capital vs. labor. Capital seems to win every time.

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Maybe we will stop subsidizing ag? Although I hear Georgia lost over $1b in timber due to Helene and they would like some help. Government bad...unless you get a check.

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Agree. It is interesting to wonder what would be done if it happened again. By every economic measure except one it was a resounding success. Prices paid by everyone jumped 25%. Honestly, I wonder if you had to put it to a vote what the result would be a) 10% of the working population spending...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    I just find it interesting how people separate their own choices and actions from the situation. In 2020 the government made a choice - avoid a prolonged severe economic downturn with high unemployment by printing money and sending people and businesses checks. The people never had to suffer...

    What did you spend your stimulus check on?

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    If your comparison is income taxes, then there is a difference. Everyone who buys the product has to pay the tax while income taxes are scaled by income. I'm not opining on way or another, but this talk of replacing income taxes with tariffs is comically stupid. 40% of US households don't pay...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    I agree. It is also why we have cleaner air and water than a lot of other places. All about trade offs. Interesting that a tariff on US good is “unfair” and tariffs US places on imports are justified. Perspective and location are everything.

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Yeah, that would be one way to do it. But you get the idea. No one talks about this because of the aversion to taxes. Policy makers like giving back to the companies and hoping they hire more employees. Maybe it is time to just start taxing based on how many people they employ for what they...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    The whole problem is that Tariffs incentivize production in the country of sale. Your Toyota to US plant, for example. Ford's growth in EVs is in the middle east, so you can't blame them for moving production. HD is getting breaks on tariffs and tax incentives in other countries to do the same...
