This is how hou know even conservatives know Trump is full of B.S. They would be going apeshut if they actually believed what Trump said.
there you go again, making "shut" up.
One of the many pathologies of globalism is that it taught our corporations to think of themselves as citizens of the world, with no superseding obligations to their home country. A few decades down the road, and we were in a situation where our largest, wealthiest, and in many cases most national security sensitive companies were deeply in bed with the Chinese government (via parastatals) and directly balancing and/or triangulating in order to protect equities in an irritably intolerant China (at the expense of equities of a far more tolerant USA). It even got to the point where companies were actually suppressing pro-US and/or anti-China messaging in their ads, products, and workforce.
That's why we are seeing this step with Intel. USG representation on the board will stop the corporate slide into quiet Chinese vassal-ship. We don't have to take stakes in all the companies. Just a few. The rest will see the writing on the wall and take steps to avoid the same fate. In the meantime, the asset side of the US balance sheet just got bigger. Whenever the problem abates, the shares can be sold to reduce debt.
What it is not is a slide into socialism. If Trump were intent on government ownership stakes throughout the private sector, he would not be proposing to sell Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac.

Exactly the point.
So, Mr. POTUS......If you have one bullet to shoot at the problem, are you going to eliminate Tariffs, or are you going to lower interest rates?
I have no doubt about Trump standing firm against socialism. However, I gong like the precedent set because we don't know what the next president will do with it, or the next, or another 20 years from now. Once the govt starts growing it seems it never stops. We don't need for them to find new ways to grow.

Just read what you just said. The government could take a stake in companies throughout the private sector, and as long as Trump intends to sell Fannie Mae&Freddie Mac, it's not socialism. Whew, what a load.
First, I didn't say it's socialism, I said it is bad and a precursor to nationalizing private companies we deem necessary. Guess who else did that?
And second, if the government actually started strong arming companies throughout the private sector into giving it shares, I'd hesitate to call it socialism; it would be closer to communism, though on its own, not outright communism.
I wonder if you see the slide in politics, you have lubed the slide up, gotten 13 fire hoses plumbed in, and you're teetering at the top, strapped to a JetSki. You are just about to endorse the nationalization of companies, because the motherland requires it.
I understand the why
I hate the how
The problem was decades in the making. Trump is trying a quick, radical fix. I'd love to see/hear other options. I'd love to see Congress actually do their job a create a law where one is needed and not pack on 100s of unrelated riders.
I have zero faith in congress and zero faith in future admins without some legal restraints in place.
My statement regarding gerrymandering was "don't use a weapon unless you're willing for that weapon to be used against you." The same applies here, both foreign and domestic.

Our President keeps telling us how wonderful the economy is, but I just don't see it. My son's best friend just got laid off last week. He is 24 years old. They sent an E-mail to those laid off attributing it to increased costs due to tariffs. They didn't even have the decency to fire them in person. Unfortunately, I would bet that is not uncommon these days. Direct human interaction seems to be on the decline. In hiring and firing.
Call it a tax, the people are outraged! Call it a tariff, the people get out their checkbooks and wave their American flags!!!

If that is the case the Feds should have already cut interest rates by 3/4 of a percent.

Exactly the point.
So, Mr. POTUS......If you have one bullet to shoot at the problem, are you going to eliminate Tariffs, or are you going to lower interest rates?

Ai, defense, and healthcare have been in a "golden age" for awhile. Not sure that's the "golden age" referred to by the political campaigns.
If these are the golden years, I'd hate to see the bad years.

Exactly the point.
Ancient: 1 job per household
Old: 1 job per person per household
New: 2-3 jobs per person per household!
Our President keeps telling us how wonderful the economy is, but I just don't see it. My son's best friend just got laid off last week. He is 24 years old. They sent an E-mail to those laid off attributing it to increased costs due to tariffs. They didn't even have the decency to fire them in person. Unfortunately, I would bet that is not uncommon these days. Direct human interaction seems to be on the decline. In hiring and firing.
That's outrageous. Strange times ahead for sure. Everyday it seems more apparent that tariffs are a failed experiment
Failed in a matter of a few weeks ?
LOL
Strange how other countries have been 'failing' with their tariffs on the US for the last 30 years.
Indeed. Revisit this in 6 months to a year and the tariffs will have worked just fine, just like Trump/Scott Bessett said
Hard for me to understand college graduates who don't realize most other countries have been hammering the US with tariffs for decades.
Common sense would suggest such tariffs are a benefit to these countries or they wouldn't be employing them for so long.
Lmao you dont understand why US consumers would be upset with higher taxes on their goods?
Sic 'em Bears and Go Birds

We've been crushing all those economies that leaned into tariffs, and most all of them had specific sectors they targeted due to dumb politics not broad based tariffs. There's a severe misconception about how much US product has been excluded from markets that are actually capable of buying our goods (not weak economic countries). For example, do you think they don't have iPhones in Europe or China or Japan? Not to mention we control en masse the most valuable ends of the smile curve; Upstream design, IP, and R&D and downstream branding, marketing, and services. Should we effort to improve certain strategic industries, yes. But tariffs have hindered not helped them, particularly places like Japan and Europe, and China is now struggling as its heavy production based economy is having to pivot.KaiBear said:Assassin said:KaiBear said:BigGameBaylorBear said:RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:Jack Bauer said:ATL Bear said:Jack Bauer said:ATL Bear said:boognish_bear said:Watters: Do you think the American people are starting to feel the golden age?

Our friend Kaibear is not plugged into mainstream America. He just does not relate to them. He collects watches that are valued at the price of most new vehicles. This is no knock against Kai, but he just does not have the perspective. My biggest disappointment is that he is an Aggie and should know better.
Call it a tax, the people are outraged! Call it a tariff, the people get out their checkbooks and wave their American flags!!!
Also on Friday, Canada vowed to drop its retaliatory tariffs to match US tariff exemptions for goods covered under the US-Mexico-Canada trade pact.
This follows Thursday's news that the US and the EU established a written framework for the trade deal agreed to on July 27. The terms include a 15% US tariff on most EU imports: These include autos, pharmaceutical goods, semiconductors, and lumber but not wine and spirits.
The two sides also outlined the EU's promise to remove tariffs on US industrial goods and give better access to US seafood and agricultural products.
The biggest negotiations to watch in the coming months are Canada, Mexico, and China.
