Now I know you're just a troll. Still waiting to hear how Trump flip-flopped. Tariffs are still on (both sides). According to your screwed up logic, he flip-flopped because he offered to remove the tariffs if the tariffs that were the reason he imposed the new tariffs in the first place were removed? Again, a level playing field is the goal. Do you not understand that? It appears that English is not your first language so perhaps something is getting lost in translation.
Average tariff rates charged by G-7 nations: USA: 1.6% EU: 1.6% UK: 1.6% Italy: 1.6% Germany: 1.6% France: 1.6% Japan: 1.4% Canada: 0.8% Russia: 3.4% (just kidding, but this is the real number) https://tinyurl.com/y7smpwkd I know you Trumpspunkers live in a different reality but you really should visit us some time, you know, cross the border for the afternoon, shop for sombreros and hammocks, maybe buy some chicle from a kid, it's really not so bad.
countries tax different commodities from different countries different amounts. Trump isn't concerned with how much Germany is taxing corn coming in from the Congo........ what you posted is utterly meaningless.
So it's Trudeau's fault that US dairy produces far in excess of demand? Should Trudeau try to imbed a spy in Trump's coterie of economic geniuses in order to eliminate federal subsidies to US dairy production? That might be a good idea. By the way, are you referring to the Democratic People's Republic of the Congo or the Republic of the Congo? Also, and this is pretty important, individual EU nations do not impose tariffs. So, as usual, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about in any way.
It's the Canadian government's fault their citizens pay more for dairy than have to. Also you don't understand supply and demand. Why would any industry purposely exceed demand? Also the demand for dairy doesn't exactly fluctuate. Who cares? You said nothing to bring meaning to your dumb stat.
You do understand that all these countries have high tariffs on the USA already and have for many years? You do understand that this is what its about right? You do understand that Trump threatening 'high tariffs' is him threatening equality.. basically saying 'we will match your tariffs so it's essentially an equal tradeoff' You do understand that the real goal of it all is to have no tariffs? You do understand that the EU and China and all these countries are the ones that do not want to stop the tariffs they have had in place for all of these years? I'm just trying to gage whether you understand these basics, because your post implies you don't. Trump saying 'High Tariffs for you' (to match the ongoing High tariffs you have had on us for years and still have) to 'No tariffs from anyone to anyone' isn't actually a flip flop. The end game goal is the same, equality. Dotard
Actually it does. Why do you think prices fluctuate. Do you understand supply and demand. Since you people on the right like to dissmiss media coverage saying it is biased to the left. Here you go Ben Shapiro on Tariffs. start from the 22 minute
Because they get paid for it, dumbass. The dairy industry in the US counts on subsidies for a huge percentage of its earnings. The entire farming industry in the US is a total protectionist joke with insane subsidies; it's a foundational element of Republican economic policy which provides further, redundant proof that the conservative ideal of free trade is a total lie.
Yes but entering a trade war is not best way to go about it. Wonder why peanuts are so expensive? Here are some of the tariffs the US imposes http://www.businessinsider.com/americas-biggest-tariffs-2010-9#decorative-glassware-38-tariff-16
So then the net effect of these tariffs have been the EU and Japan outperforming the US economically?
“If they thought they were going to lecture Trump on the glories of free trade, they got a rude awakening. He came to a gun fight armed with a stealth bomber,” one U.S. official told Breitbart News. _____ Thanks for the sensible chuckle.
The US puts a 25% on light trucks which includes trucks and SUVS, the best vehicle selling class in the US. How's that for equality?
Kudlow also just said that “there is a special place in hell” for the CANADIAN Prime Minister. You seriously can’t make this stuff up. Right here smack dab in our faces, one man who hates everything America stands for and wishes it was run as a strongman dictatorship has 30 to 40% of the country including many on this website, saying absolutely nothing and doing nothing to prevent America from becoming an autocratic dictatorship like you’d see in a banana republic. If you so-called Republicans can’t even say that this is wrong, you guys are complicit in the inevitable decay of Democracy in this country and an inevitable rearrangement of the the powers in the world. Hate to be dramatic about it, but this is on you guys unless you stand up start speaking up that you like Trump for this but not for that. Simple things like “Democracy is good. Canada is our friend”. But that too hard isn’t it. Gotta OWN THE LIBS. Can’t disagree with your king or you’ll lose a merit or won’t get a response from Ben Shapiro on Twitter anymore. Oh no!!
