My gut says they're a lot more emboldened to go full tilt on the tarrifs with the budget bill passed. The plan all along has been to shift from taxes to this to raise revenue for the govt, and with the enormous deficit hit from that they have the cover to say "well we need to balance the budget" etc.

    Just the daily dose of market manipulation.

Trump doesn't have the power. There needs to be a real emergency, or congress needs to pass it. And I think 'tax cuts' are easier for the Republicans to pass than tariffs but we'll see.

    Hate to tell you, but no one is enforcing the laws and the tariffs are already in place.

    Sorry for that. I'd overthrow the entire US government, but I'm just too darn lazy.

      It's all fucked up. What's even more fucked up is that your national media (ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT, WP) are all acting like this isn't fucked up.

      I consider myself a European conservative and I think the US is indeed dramatically fucked up right now.

        I have to wonder how much you consume American media because the networks you mentioned are almost all talking about how fucked up it is, with the possible exception of CNBC.

        > And I consider myself a ... conservative

        I glean that from the hate for an entire group of people based solely on where they live.

        Sorry my media is annoying you, it's been bugging me too. I'll take it to the shop and have it fixed, ASAP. Hope I can foot the bill, but my health care system needs some work too, not sure I can get both done this month :/
