What ever happened to that old conservative chestnut, the free market? Protectionist tariffs, now subsidies to protect farmers.. the man with global manufacturing agreements and businesses, threatening companies trying to keep their foreign markets and telling the NFL how to run their business.. oh and don't believe anyone but him about anything! But it's perfectly ok that he has been propped up by Russian Money for years.. can anyone spell ROT yet?

I though Conservatives hated Socialism?Suddenly we are seeing 12 billion dollars of tax payer cash in welfare handouts to farmers [And they get to keep mobile phones and internet..]. Is it Putin's Communist Influence all of a sudden?
Or is it a whisper from Hillary? Obama? Malcolm X's Ghost ???! The good news is Trump's "Greatest" Socialist Tariff Plan got crushed by Europe. Once European Leaders explained Economics 101 to Trump, some sanity has prevailed. For now. IP: Logged |

"What ever happened to that old conservative chestnut, the free market? Protectionist tariffs"What free market are you talking about? The free market where other nations charge US goods a 25% tariff and we charge them 2.5%...or nothing at all. The free market where other nations devalue their currency to make their goods cheaper verses US goods on the open market? There hasn't been "free trade" for more than 30 years and rational people know it. Trump is fixing those inequities and if that pi$$es off leaders of other nations who realize their free rides on the back of America is over, then...UP THEIRS! PBS...taxpayer funded leftist bullshiite which anyone with a brain avoids and ignores. IP: Logged |

No, I meant PBS..taxpayer funded leftist bullshiite. That wasn't meant for you but for another poster who doesn't know PBS...as a news source has no credibility. But, Yahoo News is just as far loony tunes left as PBS and like PBS, they scrape the bottom of the talent barrel. Not a real journalist to be found there. IP: Logged |

No one mentioned PBS but you.. We all know about the Chinese manufacturing wing of the Trump empire. It seems that if one has enough capital or credit there is a legal, if not moral, way around the tariffs at least for awhile. Make hay as long as possible, eh?
