Typical liberal who has never hates a tax except one from the other party. 10% consumption tax --or-- Continue to tax the middle class out of existence. I know where liberals stand. Make everyone poor.
You KNOW... seriously, LOL. 90% of the time, you don't know what you are talking about and 99% of the time, you presume.
have a few free articles to burn up this month. Here's one--the link will work for everyone The Tariffs Kicked In. The Sky Didn’t Fall. Were the Economists Wrong? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/...e_code=1.ak8.VoD5.90-X1xxQaUI8&smid=url-share
another free one Trump is using the ‘Laffer curve’ to find the tariff sweet spot Tariffs are taxes, and the Reagan era has much to say about how high to go before revenue suffers. https://wapo.st/4fzw3T3
Was promising a "golden era" wrong? Now we've shifted from that bold claim to "well, it wasn't a catastrophe" - classic goalpost moving. One prediction was actually made (golden era), while the other is largely a strawman. Economists didn't literally predict the sky would fall, but that's what headlines are for - turning nuanced warnings about recession and inefficiency into apocalyptic drama. At the end of the day, we went from promises of a golden age to relief that disaster was avoided. But don't be nitpicky - this is just the beginning of a new era of across-the-board tariffs. There will be plenty of time to assess the real impact once the chaos settles, if ever.

OT, I am embarrassed for you, if only you had done some research on Laffer, in 2014, Art Laffer Admits, begrudgingly, His Economic Model, in particular his Laffer Curve, Was Wrong but that didn't stop the Trust Fund baby from lying about it. in 2019, Trump pretends a failed economic theory has been proven true, insisting that he's spent "many years" studying the Laffer Curve

So you are basically saying that it’s a virtue that Trump has a knack for getting suckers to spend money they don’t have on things they don’t need just because they are suckers to believe the lies that come out of Trumps mouth? So is it a good thing to you that America is full of suckers or that Trump is a con man?
