Tariffs Worked “Spectacularly Well”

Because not every business is impacted by tariffs. While all businesses are impacted by taxes. Sad that you can’t grasp this.

Obviously I can grasp that. That depiction above is just for the point. Anyway you could buy all your groceries imported.

We are weeks away from a full scale buy made in Europe ad campaign coming out.

Just shut it retard. You were wrong and you love taxes anyway. Tariffs are not a tax nor are they borne by the consumer but you love to revel in your ignorance.
Maybe CWU can give you a refund because you're still dumb as a rock

So, let's see your studies that show tariffs are not a tax and not borne by the consumer. I need numbers, and not faux scientific handwaving.

In a World where there are products still made in America, one can avoid tariffs. That’s one of the main goals of tariffs. To increase manufacturing state side and bringing more family wage jobs here.

I know you hate that.

You've been shown all this
And you support more taxes anyway
Tariffs are working. Great trade deals are being made and jobs are coming back to America
Every time you make the same wrong post you sound more retarded

I have a full set of teeth and I'm not retarded. The economic reports I have read all predict the tariffs will impact inflation. I challenge you to find some real economist (with a PhD, not some nut you can find on far right news podcasts), that gives the NUMBERS and the resulting analysis.

Trust the experts

None of which have ever had to sign a payroll check.
 
I am certain that if Biden had instituted 15% tariffs/tax/fee/levy (call it whatever) everyone here would have the completely opposite opinion just as my cartoon shows. If somebody wants to present evidence that a 15% tariff will not increase U.S. inflation then let's see it.
 
Biden kept all the Chinese tariffs that had been in place for several years. He was getting slammed for inflation that only surfaced when he took over. Under your logic, he could have released the tariffs and brought prices down.
 
Just until AOG goes down the rabbit hole of Friedman’s free market floating currency solution to counter cheap labor and govt subsidization from overseas imports.
 
Since you like Ai so much
"Complexity of Pass-Through: The extent to which tariffs are passed on to consumers is a complex economic issue influenced by factors such as market competition, product demand elasticity, and the ability of businesses to absorb costs or find alternative sourcing."
We've explained this several times. Lmk if you'd like me to again.
 
Here’s the liberal mindset:
“I’m fine with more taxes because I work at a tattoo and piercing shop, making 60k a year. I rent an apartment and ride my bike to work so the gas and property taxes for my cherished bike lanes and homeless services don’t affect me AT ALL.

But tariffs on the Chinese crap I buy for cheap off Amazon? You fucking monsters.”

the end.
 
Lots of straw men arguments in this thread.

I'm only saying that a 15% Trump tariff (tax/levy/fee/etc) is going to increase inflation. Nobody has cited any legitimate studies to refute that. If you did I'd take a look. Otherwise it's just you being typical trumptards believing nonsense just because Mr Trump says it. Yes, prices will go up and you will pay as a direct result of his "deals."
 
My study is the Chinese tariffs from 2018 or whatever it was that didn’t cause inflation.
 
Morons like Schumer and Schiff as well as MSNBC and CNN screaming about tariff inflation have allowed online businesses totally unaffected by any tariffs to add a line item to their service/product checkout page that includes another 2.00 or whatever for adjusted tariff fees. Why? Because people shopping online will just pay the extra 2.00 the vast majority of the time because we are now a society of convenience as opposed to quality.
This was before any tariff adjustments had gone into effect, mind you.
 
Dems were mad at grocery stores for price gouging in 2021-2024 and are now mad at them for not price gouging.

Unencumbered by facts AOG insists on being retarded
 
I want a study by a PhD showing any point argued to the effect that tariffs of 15% don't drive up inflation or fuck off!!!!

Studies by persons not holding PhD or some lunatic fringe podcast won't cut it. I want the numbers on my desk by end of day!!!

turn your list in first.
 
I prefer actual data and history versus studies that refute everything that was taught in the first week of Econ 101.
