AT LAST, Republican Senators stand up to Trump on the trade wars

bambino's Avatar
Absolutely they affect all the countries. Everybody loses in a trade war. This is something Donald Trump doesn't understand, because all his life he's viewed business as a zero sum game. For every winner, there's a loser. Both sides can't benefit in a business deal. So he's fucked his suppliers, his customers, his investors, his partners, and his banks. He's also fucked the U.S. taxpayer, by generating a $900 million tax loss by stiffing the bondholders in his Atlantic City casinos and then using their losses as deductions on his tax returns for many years afterwards.

Business doesn't have to work that way, and trade absolutely does not work that way. Lower your tariffs and you're better off. See the table of countries in my post above. Originally Posted by Tiny

No lives lost. And much smaller things, $2.4 trillion not added to the national debt and faster lines at airport security. Thanks for posting the link.

Interesting thought, Tiny
Would the Afghanis be better off under the Russians or theTaliban. ?
Not sure the US is a better alternative for folks whose favorite avocation - Killing each other, is only bettered by killing outsiders.

If they had not given Bin Laden sanctuary - we would not be there.

Bin Laden is dead.

Time to get out of that hell-hole country.
Apologies - off topic

How much better off would we be had we continued to invest in Afghanistan had we listened to Charlie Wilson? Bunch of what ifs.
