发帖数: 38600 | 1 When will people realize Trump's tariffs are a war against the ordinary
American folks, not the Chinese! Stop calling it "trade war". The Chinese
will not subsidize those goods we need. Trump's tariffs will eventually help
bring down the purchasing power of Americans to equal that of the Chinese,
thus quality of life.
In reality, it's more wealth transfer - to the rich.
It's what Trump doesn't tell us (what he will do with the supposedly $60
Billion "tariffs") that's really interesting. But we have a pretty good
guess where that'll mostly end up, don't we? | b********n
发帖数: 38600 | 2 Someone seems to be a little late to the party here. The big story (which
anyone venturing out of their basement in America figured out decades ago)
: China does not need the United States. OK, blast away (especially all
those "folks" who have never set foot anywhere near the region). Guess what
else - there are plenty of countries thriving in the world right now which
DO NOT NEED THE US TO THRIVE & SURVIVE. Yep, that reality is a kick in the
pants for the cheerleader crowd who really think that 325 million still have
massive sway over a world population of 7.5+ billion. We in the US can
kick & spit all we want, but the empire baton is being passed. If we keep
loudly forcing US world domination on the world, the world will eventually
force the US into a position of subservience. | b********n
发帖数: 38600 | 3 We NEED TO IMMEDIATELY DO AWAY WITH a little known Asian subsidy which is
KILLING jobs for us folks but enriching the richest man in the world and the
Chinese. Did you know a small package sent by an Asian online seller only
cost them about $1.00 vs the $20.00 that we would have to pay to return the
junk in a package to Asia. We even provide tracking services on that
freaking package. This was pushed down our throats thru the “heavy lobbying
” by Ebay and Amazon. . Sooner or later our “paid off” politicians are
going to have a change of heart, albeit from taxpayers and voters aware of
the “Amazon Subsidy” and get SICK AND TIRED of it and voting them out of
office or just plain old guilty conscience. Just the headlines about retail
store closings tell us about jobs being lost and commercial real estate
getting ready to tank, (Store closings---just a few—Penny’s 130-140 stores
, Sears/Kmart 150, Macy’s 100, Foot Locker 100, Kohls 16, Office Depot 200,
Abercrombie 114, BCBG 118, HH Gregg 88, Pier One 100).
Problems with this is:
1) Post Office loosing hundreds of millions delivering these cheap packages
(taxpayers left holding the bag making up for their losses and eventual USPS
pension shortfalls)
2) Uninspected goods come in, many of which are in violation of intellectual
property laws and safety regulations.
3) USA stores can’t compete- thus many previous full time jobs in retail
have disappeared altogether or with lower paying and reduced benefit part-
time jobs.
4) Foreign online sellers are NOT paying any sales tax, income tax, or
tariffs like the importers in the USA.
5) Lost jobs equals social security taxes NOT COLLECTED--another freaking
problem waiting to rear its ugly face.
My advice to TRUMP—do away with only this one unfair trade deal and
positive results will be felt FAST in our economy—no need to expand the
Trade War after this is done. | b********n
发帖数: 38600 | 4 xactly what does America have to trade that China wants?
They got all America's production,,, even if they gave it back, generations
today haven't the education or skills to run it.
Maybe military crap? But in only 18 years Russia managed to outclass America
and they already are buying from Russia.
Food? Russia is now on par and in some areas ahead of American food
production and better, they still produce real food, not the Monsanto
garbage American farmers are planting. Even Europe doesn't want that junk.
Cars? Not really. American manufactures already have plants in China and
even Mexico which now the Emperor has flipped on his NAFTA promise.
Yes,,, the only way the Divided States of America will ever be great again
is in their dreams. But hey! in Amerika you can choose your choice of 65
genders and a plethora of bathrooms!
So,,, take that China! | b********n
发帖数: 38600 | 5 Trade wars are an act of desperation. Its quite clear that this is
politicized turd throwing on behalf of a declining US empire, rather than
trying to make any economic sense.
Then there are the sanctions. Which is just another way of the US empire
trying to "compete" LOL. | b********n
