"Fairness" is a neat sugar coated term for socialism
We pay an extra tax on anything that isn't made inside the EU
Because Swiss cheese is so good that it requires additional taxes to not compete fairly with the rest of the world
🤦
Trump is using tariffs to reduce Trade deficits, which is an indicator of our wealth, not an indicator of our budget deficit which has absolutely nothing to do with it
Trade deficits are to be praised, not to be trashed
The obsession with "fairness" is the real problem here and people on the right should condemn it because it's the same argument used with income inequality and socialism
It's obviously more important that Americans be better off than have equal tariff rates that harm American workers and consumers
It's just basic economics
The harms from a trade war are increased prices for most Americans, job losses, bailouts and other things.
That by far outweighs any potential gain of slightly lowering already historically low barriers among our trade partners
How is crashing a roaring economy under Trump to get an ally to lower their low tariff rate by 0.4 or 0.5% worth it? Like honestly you'd have to be a true dumbfuck to believe this
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
THE BLUE WAVE IS FAKE NEWS
Trump a made deal with the EU to continue talks with reducing tariffs
lol
nothing else
@FriarPop All of that is pure economic illiteracy
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
step out of theory and into the real world
🤦
You still didn't answer my question
