whether or not you're for or against them, I think it's beneficial for the President to negotiate this stuff. Like what are we going to do, have foreign countries barter with 600+ people in Congress controlled by Jews and special interests? You'll never get anything done.

This is a Big Win for the swamp creatures, the globalists, the turbo boomers booming stealing the future from their grandkids etc.

well when 15% of tariffs are eaten by the foreign importer, that’s not a “tax on Americans”

it’s more nuanced than that. and it’s an important tool for the WH to fight back against foreigners who’ve been treating the U.S. like a dead bloated whale and feasting off our largess

And what's funny is that I see companies raising prices claiming it has to do with imports but it's really just corporate greed. They're testing the water again just to see what people are willing to pay. Has nothing to do with costs. I hope people cut back on spending to stick it to these aholes.

Tariff comes from Arabic, a proclamation of information, prices and a duty on imports. It's a tax for sure. His point though is that it's not a tax on Americans. It's a tax on other countries.

there is one word "tarriff" which pretty literally means "import tax". It would be like arguing that "income tax" isn't a tax because we started using a new word for it.

i even agree with his underlying point that calling it a tax on americans is deceptive (all taxes within the supply chain necessarily must trickle down to the consumer). but he has to take it even further with flat out wrong and moronic positions like "its not a tax" and "taxes don't impact prices downstream"

and Americans previously were not buying the American product because it was more expensive. Now these already more expensive American products have less foreign competition.

Do individual Americans have more money in their pockets as a result of the tariffs? If the counter argument is that tariffs create jobs by increasing domestic production, I would ask that proof be provided.

ok, so a 200% tariff would increase prices, so we've established that a tariff can increase prices.

what is the magical golden tariff amount that begins to impact the cost to the consumer? 5% and prices stay the same but 5.01% and the cost is passed on?

I didn’t say a tariff never raises the price for Americans, I said it’s more nuanced than that. perhaps too nuanced for you

whether and how much it might increase the price for the U.S. buyer depends on elasticity of demand for each product

Ok so let's just take a step back. The people who support tariffs first argue that a tariff isn't a tax.

The definition of tariff is presented defining it as a "tax".

The tariff supporter then says, ok yeah but it's a specific tax that is imposed on foreign countries and not Americans.

It is then pointed out that it is exclusively American businesses and individuals who pay the tariff.

The tariff supporter then says, ok yeah well it's a larger policy initiative designed to redirect American consumers to American manufacturers by making foreign goods more expensive to buy.

OK so now presented with my example, I would ask, do you think that the desired effect was achieved (i.e. that people are no longer buying swiss watches and instead are buying American made watches)?

Obviously the answer to this question is absolutely fucking not because your comment is "well you don't actually even need a watch."

Luxury goods is a bad example for your side. But at any rate people like you are filling the government coffers. A tax on luxury goods is a relatively good tax. People buy things they don't need volunteer their tax dollars to society. All the necessities we still make here and hopefully will grow American manufacturing.

What part of long term plan do you not understand. If anything you're singling out a sector that only effects the rich. But tariffs are across the board. Maybe we'll start planting avocados here and paying Americans a living wage to do it. Anything that punishes the rich financially is 180. I love tariffs even more after talking to you. You sound like Ben Shapiro telling middle America to eat the bugs. Lmao you have to go back.

in terms of penumbra realpolitik bullshit we should just have the President be the King at this point and Congress should be largely vestigial. even if a libpotus comes in next and ruins everything Trump did and puts all MAGA supporters to the sword it would be better than the gridlock bureaucracy at this point. It would at least force the issue of a civil war. We need decisive leadership. Trump being the King has been an awesome development for the country. I accept in advance that a libshit king could come and change everything. We just have to admit that Congress is fucked forever and the Presidential election should be 10x more important. The President is just the King it's okay. Fuck Congress fuck checks and balances. Let 'er rip.

also impeachments should have a vote at the beginning in the Senate to dismiss before the House makes their case. Rapid dismissal impeachments would benefit the country if it has no hope to move forward. Don't give these fuckers a month to shut down the Executive branch ffs.

We need absolute rule, we need decisive action. This is not the time for the wholesome chungus approach to conlaw. We need the POTUSy to really mean something. It was a joke position in the beginning but now it's the only way out of this mess.

not everyone in congress sucks and theres no way you have an informed opinion about all 535 of them. this lazy "it all sucks we need big changes even though i have no path to accomplishing them!" is part of why things are the way it is.

are you campaigning for a rep you believe in? no, you're poasting feuntes hot takes and proposing changes that have 0% chance of happening.

What has 0% chance of happening? There are Big Changes coming. Trump was the first domino in a massive political sea change. It doesn't just stop. It keeps going. It's got momentum. You're crazy if you don't think the nativist political movement doesn't keep going. You're nuts to call it a pipe dream. It's just beginning in many ways.

i never said "nothing ever happens" or "nothing can happen."

ok, what specific changes are you proposing that you think are achievable? we're in a thread about scotus overruling trump tariffs and you say potus should have more power: how? you say congress should have term limits and campaign finance restrictions because congress (the body that would need to pass that policy) is bought and paid for, so how do we achieve that?

without resorting to broad, vague hyperhole again, what *specific* achievable thing should we do? and for bonus points, what are *you* going to do as an individual to moge the needle on that happening?

I think Nick is 100% right. We punish the GOP by not voting for them. We let them fail unless they give us what we want. We wanted mass deportations. We wanted tariffs that actually stuck to bring back manufacturing. We want a President who is willing to let the stock market decline if it means paying workers more money. We want to get rid of H1Bs and cut ties with Israel. Simple as. It's Trump 2016. Drain the swamp. America First. Very simple shit. Not rocket science. We let Republican politicians fail unless they deliver. No one has done more to Nickpill this site than me. I'm Influential imo.

I think what we're really seeing here is that the rise of authoritarian regimes which are able to put immense economic pressure on us via central planning, cheating, stealing, etc. has forced our system to become more authoritarian in turn. Like I admit to being a Wholesome Chungus paleolibertarian who wants to return to the old ways of we sit around for decades debating issues on the merits and all this idealistic bullshit. But in the real world we need someone who can pull the trigger in real time. It's obvious. Napoleon reshaped Europe because none of the old absolute monarchies could mobilize a force strong enough to defeat him without a parliamentary system. This is the same effect in reverse. You need centralized decisive power to combat centralized decisive power.

“this occurs through representatives to congress.” — this is how it works in theory, but in practice the presidency appears to be the most sensitive and responsive to public opinion, as well as being the branch with the most agency. Our legislative branch is paralyzed by procedure and has a lower approval rating than our historically disapproved of President.

this does cause more and more normal people to check out, i agree. but it's not that they don't care, and they still vote, its just a waste of time to become active in politics when we cant even get past epstein pedo island debates.

no, it's not designed that way, it's designed to prevent that. and it's failed now because the people (the only possible check on elite control) enthusiastically endorse this tug of war.

we need to unite against this but most people play right into it. until that changes it doesn't matter which branch holds power. consolidating in an elite-controlled potus would only exacerbate the problem.

I think the “inefficient system” still works very well. Otherwise western democracies are prone to knee-jerk responses to emotionally-charged events (eg New Zealand and Canada banning guns after shootings). However, it definitely prevents course-corrections when the course needs correcting. By the time we can correct our course, the rest of the world have maneuvered around us.

except there's no other law where he can just unilaterally do tariffs like this against every single country for every single product for BS "security" reasons. other laws have more discrete provisions, requiring waiting periods etc. the whole reason he used this stupid emergency law (which no other POTUS had used for tariffs) is cause there wasn't any other way to do his batshit insane crap

πŸ“Œ Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974

Allows the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to investigate unfair trade practices by foreign countries (e.g., intellectual property theft, discrimination).

If a country is found to be engaging in unfair practices, the president can impose tariffs or other trade restrictions.

There’s no hard cap on tariff rates under Section 301, but procedures must be followed (investigations, consultations, comments).

This is the same law used to justify many of the China tariffs in Trump’s first term.

πŸ“Œ Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962

Lets the president impose tariffs for national security reasons (used for steel, aluminum in recent years).

It’s more restrictive and country-specific than the emergency law Trump tried to use.

πŸ“Œ Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974

Permits temporary tariffs (up to ~15%) for up to 150 days to address trade imbalances.

This is sometimes called a “stopgap” option if a president wants a quick tariff measure that doesn’t go through lengthy investigations.

πŸ“Œ Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930

Allows tariffs up to 50% on imports from countries that the U.S. finds discriminate against American businesses.

Never widely used, but a legal tool available.

He will obviously implement them under some other law, and they will be immediately enjoined. The question is whether courts grant a stay this time in the wake of new SCOTUS ruling

its not possible to reimplement them against all 190 countries at the levels they are, at most he can do 15% for like 150 days or some shit. for other tariff laws there's procedures required that take time and dont think he can do it for everything against everyone

most likely outcome is that most of the tariffs come back just with different justification

you're an idiot. canada ran a commercial he didn't like and he responded by raising tariffs on them. really doubt that constitutes an "emergency" required by the law he relied on or has anything whatsoever to do with trump's concern about the economy.

this is hyperbole but it's true that trump is a perfect example of exactly why we dont want to invest one purpose with absolute power. trump would be invading greenland to donate to israel right now.

The reasons for the checks and balances and separation of powers is so that the elites could continue to control the nation because the people would not be able to enforce their will because the factions of the government are set against each other.. divide and conquer was what the strategy was as imparted in the letter from Madison to Jefferson.. the founding plutocrats would love the way that the elite still have power here. Hope this helps

it's based on the assumption that everyone is corrupt and that no single person or group should be given absolute power. seems to have worked pretty well, including in this case.

Sorry, proles, but because everyone is corrupt we can't let you control your own democracy so we're going to make the government so divided and chaotic that no one can take control except us with our big bucks.. don't worry, it's for your own good, trust us, we founding plutocrats are definitely on your side

Congress is not elite compared to what it was like in the 1800s. It’s a bunch of ill-bred fools now trying to become “influencers” and enrich themselves.
