RE: Tariffs
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I'm going to say 'Trump administration' because I think Trump is just a figurehead for a faction of corporate power. The Trump administration wants a weaker dollar to improve exports and balance the horrific debt load America suffers. I think that's what the tariffs are about, improving America's exports. China didn't just up and agree to drop their tariffs on American goods, so that tactic didn't work in China, but it did in a lot of other countries. We'll see if America gets back to manufacturing or not, and if the Trump administration can find a way to ease the tariffs on American exports to China. Higher tariffs on China didn't work.
Thanks!

Internet payments are on track to surpass military expenses. The long term solution is embracing the free market, abolishing FED and all the other things that we have been screaming about. That won't happen yet. This administration has enough people in it that would want to tackle this massive debt problem. A lot of things start to make sense when you look at things this way.

Another factor to consider is that Trump administration may not care too much about what happen to USA as long as other countries have it worse. They likely think of this similar to a boxing match. They will tolerate any pain as long as they can improve the relative position of USA compared to other nations.
I appreciate your rational consideration. Too often people get tied up in politics, when that's merely a tactic useful to domestically control polities, and geopolitical considerations require peering into the relative void of reason and economic power beyond domestic policy.
Thanks!
I try my best to see the bigger picture. I can hardly affect geopolitics. If I can at least expect what could happen, I can get ready and inform at least a few more individuals.
