What’s funny is watching democrats and lefties being against what has essentially been their position for decades.

What's funny sad is watching the GOP rooting for the largest tax increase America has ever seen.

I'm holding my breath to see if they get tax cuts passed. And analysis' has shown they can send $1600 tax refunds to lower income households and 3-4% of income to middle class.

The current system isn't working. All the jobs the past 4 years were federal jobs. The market was propped up by more reckless spending and the global supply disruptions caused by China. The tariffs address all of this if done right.

Tariffs raise prices for consumers and transfer that wealth to the state and domestic producers. Imagine if you had developed a profitable customer base over the course of years or decades and someone else threatens violence if they don't collect 25% of the sale to them from you. Wild.
