That's why Republicans like it. No bigger moral failing in their book than having the audacity to be poor. Neo-Calvinism in action.Plus it's a regressive tax that hits the poor the hardest, and the revenue will probably be used to give tax breaks to the wealthy.
If the Tariffs eventually settle to a 10% tax on every country. That mainly becomes a 10% national sales tax.
Of course it's NOT bringing new revenue into the country, since it's US citizens paying it.
Plus it's a regressive tax that hits the poor the hardest, and the revenue will probably be used to give tax breaks to the wealthy.
Other countries with National sales taxes, issue rebates to the lower income folks to offset the regressive nature of sales taxes, but you can bet the GQP won't.
So this becomes a means to transfer more wealth from the poor to the rich.
It is basically a national VAT that Trump was unilaterally able to impose without going through Congress.
Right now there is a case working through The Court of International Trade in New York that no Emergency exists that allows Trump to impose these tariffs.
This Obscure New York Court Is Set to Decide Fate of Trump’s Tariffs
Trade Court Grills Government Over Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ Tariffs
The federal court, which has nationwide jurisdiction over tariff and trade disputes, operates for the most part in obscurity, rarely garnering a mention in major publications and staying off the radar of most attorneys.
“Most lawyers will get out of law school without knowing that it exists,” said Lawrence Friedman, a partner at law firm Barnes, Richardson & Colburn LLP who specializes in litigation at the court.
The court will step into the limelight this week in a lawsuit brought by New York-based wine importer V.O.S. Selections and four other small businesses who say President Trump doesn’t have the authority to impose the tariffs. Other challenges have been filed in the court and in federal district courts around the country, but the V.O.S. case is front and center so far.

So it's possible the whole farrago could be ruled illegal and completely fizzle-out? I mean, even if it goes to the Supreme Court Injustices it seems possible even they are fed up with the whole business at this point. Aside from everything else it's getting pretty tedious (Up, down, up again, down again...could the tariffs not at least go sideways or something once in a while?)
I would have thought that becomes hard since if the tariff's are classed as illegal it opens the door for a huge class action against the feds.I expect the GQP to just ignore it, appeal it, etc...
No shit.Oh word? I was confidently told by the admin they could renegotiate the totality of US global trade in 90 days no problem.

Even if you are an evil asshole planning to use Tariffs as a cudgel to extort unfair trade deals from other countries, the way a sane evil person would do that is to only do this to one country at a time.
Only an insane evil moron would start a trade war with every country in the world at the same time.

Only the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Idiots would fight a war on twelve fronts."Even if you are an evil asshole planning to use Tariffs as a cudgel to extort unfair trade deals from other countries, the way a sane evil asshole would do that, is to only do this to one country at a time, to have the maximum effect on the target, and minimum effect back home.
Only an insane evil moron would start a trade war with every country in the world at the same time. That would be like starting a shooting war with every powerful country simultaneously...

What I love about this: consumers need goods to survive, so since they're now spending more on the same things they need, clearly the tariffs have no effect. Brilliant analysis by the best minds in the business.
They don't need to. A deal with EU covers 27 nationsOh word? I was confidently told by the admin they could renegotiate the totality of US global trade in 90 days no problem.
