What is your highest economics degree you have completed?
You don't even need a degree to understand basic economics
I have a Masters from Michigan in Econ and Political Science , i've done a bit of work in the field as well on wallstreet
lol you're kidding
"Tarriff's work, We just won Yuge with the EU on them, now we can sell them more beans and Energy, this screws over Russia, you have to look at the true impacts of the tarriff and trade wars, we are wealthy enough to influence things for our friends and hurt those who screw us"
just.....
Why bother
i guess I dont understand how you are confused about the benefits of reducing trade deficits and selling our products to the world.
jesus
fucking

That's 👏 Not 👏 What 👏 Trade 👏 Deficits 👏 Are
the equation is outgoing products minus incoming goods= balance
A trade deficit is when we buy more goods from them than they bought from us
That's not a bad thing
correct
"I have a trade deficit with Microcenter. In order to reduce it, I need stop shopping there"
See how retarded it is
@FriarPop Then why reduce it?
you are trying to simply this way too much, and assume there is not competition in the marketplace or political influnces
🤦
You still didn't answer my question
the word WAR in trade war is literal
sometimes they are meant to screw over people at our expense
like I have a trade deficit with Microcenter(China), i'm going to stop shopping at China! and shop at India, cause screw them, they are Mofo's
spoken like a true big government protectionist
That's.... not how it works
and they can no longer have our F35's
If you want to counter China's influence WITHOUT launching trade wars that harm our workers, the TPP would've done just that
jfc
You call yourself a conservative?
lol
i dont label myself
This is the *exact opposite* of conservatism
I'm an American 1st
if anything
oh a populist
a bullshit left-wing ideology masquerading as free market conservatism
I'm for liberty, and freedom, and the consitution
Then you would be for free trade, not protectionism
