New Tarrifs

[mkd]

The only thing Biden could do was an Easter Bunny escort. Name one just one. Biden historic accomplishment.

He made stairs, bicycles and walking and talking challenging again. Mission accomplished

[neurosis]

Hey that's some high quality stink bait whataboutism.
 I'll take that as an absolutely frickin no, Bidet didn't make anything cheaper

He asked a question and I answered it. Explain the whataboutism?

It's when you're asked a simple question about bidet and go into a tirade about Trump. That's whataboutism. Just sayin. I do it too.

That wasn't a tirade, it was a fact. Biden signed an EO to reduce prescription drug costs, but it was repealed by Trump. Where was the whataboutism? That he tried to lower prescription drug costs? 

When you said "I don't too", did you mean something else. It's too early for me to understand what that meant.

Damn Libertarians at it again. 

"There's nothing fair about charging Americans higher taxes in an attempt to restrict global trade. And there's nothing reciprocal about it at all."

Trump Promised 'Reciprocal' Tariffs. The Numbers Tell a Different Story.
In most cases, Trump's tariffs are significantly higher than the tariffs charged by other countries on American goods.

""Whatever they tax us, we will tax them," Trump told a joint session of Congress in March, outlining plans for higher tariffs on imports from much of the world. When some of those tariff rates were unveiled in early April—before being paused, amended, altered, and in some cases finally imposed—the president reiterated that point. "They're reciprocal—so whatever they charge us, we charge them," Trump said.

The White House has dropped that talking point in recent months. Even so, the executive order that invoked emergency powers to impose those tariffs still promises that they will be "reciprocal." And in courts where the Trump administration is defending the president's use of those expansive (and possibly unconstitutional) powers, the administration's attorneys continue to refer to that set of tariffs as the "reciprocal" tariffs—to distinguish them from tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico that were imposed in February for different reasons.

So are the tariffs actually reciprocal? Not even close."


"Consider Switzerland. Last year, the average Swiss tariff on U.S. goods was a minuscule 0.2 percent, while the U.S. charged an average tariff of 1.4 percent on goods imported from Switzerland.

To make trade with Switzerland "reciprocal," then, Trump would have had to lower American tariffs on Swiss goods. In fact, he'd have to lower them even more, because in January the Swiss government abolished all of its tariffs on industrial goods from America—an arrangement that Swiss officials said would allow more than 99 percent of American items into the country duty-free.

Trump responded to that by imposing a staggering 39 percent tariff on imports from Switzerland. This is reciprocity?

The Swiss tariffs are where the Trump administration's claim of reciprocity is most disconnected from reality, but it is hardly the only example."

Any of you guys ever get pissed off when you were machining something that you knew was the correct way to do it, but some know it all asshole said you were doing it wrong?

[neurosis]

Have you ever had 100 people tell you that something was going to happen, but you chose to listen to the two who had an agenda?

[neurosis]

Damn.  Even Cato.  Trump has the Libertarians in an uproar.

Trump Administration Adds 407 Additional HTS Provisions to Section 232 Aluminum/Steel Tariffs


https://www.anderinger.com/trump-administration-adds-407-additional-hts-provisions-section-232-aluminum-steel-tariffs/


""Many of these new HTS provisions would not normally be considered aluminum or steel derivative products ... at least not by any reasonable understanding of those words. For example... the list of goods now subject to the aluminum and steel tariffs include items as diverse as dairy products (0402), food preparations (2106), petroleum oils (2710), and certain chemicals, etc. While the 50% tariff will only apply to the aluminum/steel aspects of these goods (which will presumably be just certain aluminum and steel packaging or container type materials), it shows just how broad this administration intends to throw its tariff net"."
