Trump says "tariffs are the greatest!" He also says "remember, we are the 'piggy bank' that's being robbed." Trump makes his shitty products in China, so he's helping the robbers steal from the "piggy bank." Meanwhile, around the same time he tweets this shit out. Trump is offering $12 billion in aid relief to farmers who are being hit by Chinese retaliatory tariffs. What Trump isn't going to say about that $12 billion, is where is he getting that from? If we are in debt, that means we're borrowing money, and who are we borrowing money from? Some of it is definitely coming from China. In order to continue our empire of war and consumption, we are borrowing from China. Not only are we going to borrow $12 billion to help farmers, but Trump's own Office of Management and Budget estimates that there will be a $1 billion dollar deficit for the 2019 budget.
Trump says Mexico will pay for the wall, because there goods will be taxed. All that means is that U.S. consumers will actually pay for the wall, or we won't buy the Mexican goods, meaning once again that we'd be paying for the wall.
I fucking hate economics. I hate the jargon. I hate economists, because they never get shit right it seems like. Some say this trade war will be bad, some say it will be good. I think it will be bad, because Trump isn't all that bright. All I know is that Tariffs, tax cuts, and bank deregulation isn't going to do shit for us. It's only going to make things worse, which is where we were heading anyways. People say the economy is doing great. I had no idea that Youngstown is thriving again, for it's never mentioned in the news. But We'll get rid of "entitlements" though, because the people who are really bringing America down are the retired-elderly-working class, or the single mother who gets food stamps for her and the kids.
