Not buying what you're selling if you can't get that right.

Some of those tariffs by Mexico and Canada you're unhappy with were retaliatory after he slapped on additional tariffs right after getting the USMCA deal.
That didn't bring back large swaths of U.S. jobs but it did juice inflation and effectively increase our taxes. Originally Posted by HDGristle
I'm not a tariff fan, but you're wrong about the record on inflation and jobs.The USMCA was signed on Jan 29, 2020 and went into effect on Jul 1, 2020. The additional tariffs I mentioned were in retaliation for his Aug 2020 tariffs.
In early 2020 (i.e. right before the pandemic knocked the economy off kilter) annual CPI inflation was relatively modest (around 2.0%) and the number of US manufacturing jobs was more than 400,000 higher than when Trump took office 3 years earlier. Originally Posted by lustylad

If you're going to disagree, go for it. But do try to understand the argument and timeline Originally Posted by HDGristle
25% tariffs on Canada and MexicoDon't forget China as well. Prices for goods and services should be going higher just as I am anticipating. I like how crypto currencies are getting smashed right now because it creates an opportunity. Hopefully these tariffs don't impact precious metals prices coming from Canada and Mexico.
Let's see how this plays out for the effect on prices Originally Posted by VitaMan
It’ll lower prices because, according to the economic genius Donald Trump, Canada and Mexico will pay the tariffs into a US Treasury bank account. Originally Posted by 1blackman1Canada, Mexico, and China will more than likely play hardball with Trump and hike tariffs on the United States. Trade war.
I'm not a tariff fan, but you're wrong about the record on inflation and jobs.I don't believe the numbers the mainstream media reports on inflation being at 2%, it's a lie. Check out John Williams Shadow Stats underneath the "Alternate Data" tab at the top of the page at Shadowstats.com. I think he gives a more honest opinion on reality. Just before the plandemic took off inflation was already out of control and it got much worse because of all the currency they printed and borrowed to hand out checks to the people, inflation is going to continue to get worse even with Trump in office.
