    So do the prices of products under the tariff...Example. Before the tariff war I bought a repair kit for the front suspension bar stabilizer on my truck for $15.99, now the same product is $37.99....

    Trump is doing the same thing that previous presidents have done...Pump large amounts of dough into the economy to give it the appearance of functioning normally..

    Florida, $1700 for 2000sq ft home. Without legislation (save our homes) it would be about 3K, I think in CA they have prop 5(?) which is similar.

    of course zero state taxes, its shocking what states like Illinois charge, and they are still running deficits, and roads are in terrible shape unless you want to pay tolls.

    You're a riot. What happens to the economy when moonglow has to pay more than 2x more for auto parts? I wonder, did obama ever try this?

    Companies in other countries will have a chance to gain market share.

    If Democrats believed their own propaganda about global warming they would demand huge tarrifs on the Chinese Democrats until they clean up their act.

    Fair point. I would prefer tax incentives for companies making their products here. I live in Los Angeles and remember the thriving movie/TV industry before we chased it away with taxes.

    Very true. Keeping them under 30 hours was the wise choice for those wishing to stay in business.

    Do you think that was healthy for the general economy? I'd say not.

    If companies in other countries were competitive they'd already have market share.
    Who the hell said anything about global warming? I know you're a trumper but do try to stay focused.

    Four deficits in excess of a trillion from 2009 and 2013, and Obama had one sixth the income growth. It wasn't until Republicans got control of things in 2010 that we actually had improvement.

    Obamacare was extremely healthy for the pharm industry, but will end up being an economic disaster.

    Exactly. It's the same for tariffs. Great for the industries they are artificially propping up, terrible for everyone else (and the economy in general). You'd think a Wharton educated man would understand that.

    I don't know if anybody has explained this to you before, but just because you believe really strongly in something doesn't make it factual. You are presenting opinions as if they are undisputed truths. They arent.

    Oh BS.

    It isn't a coincidence that the markets go bull when Trump type conservatives win elections and slow bracing for left wing policies.

    The left has been crying that Trumps policies are going to destroy the economy... and when they don't, its inspite of him.

    I feel that Obama dragged on the recession far longer than it should be relying on government shovel ready jobs that cost fortunes and took forever to get going.

    We all have opinions. Learn what those are against facts.

    When Obama moved to the White House after the two years of the Democrat controlled Congress of which he was a voting member and the job loss rate bottomed out that month he made that move and long before any "stimulus" and started to quickly recede. He passed his stimulus on the basis it would hold unemployment to 8% but it totally failed and unemployment soared to 10% and stayed over 8% for the next four years. The Democrats took back the Congress in 2007 with a Republican deficit of a paltry $161B and then increased spending 10% for 2008 and then 20% for 2009 taking exploding the budget and deficit to $1,400B in just two years keeping it over $1,000B for the next 4 years. Hugely expanding domestic spending and particularly support payments which we are still paying for.

    Yes we need to cut spending, but then Trump never ran as a true fiscal conservative did he. And can you point me to the Democrat currently running who gives a twit about deficits and debt and promises to get spending and our budget under control? We need more true Republican fiscal conservatives back in Congress and in the White House but I bet you would never vote for them.
