Just another way for Government to take our money. Will we EVER be able to get back to Free Market Ideals. The worst fears of the Founders have come to pass. Article 5 convention; Return to the 18! When voting this November please consider alternate candidates. Do not just vote for a continuation of the Status-Quo. We need to break the cycle.

I love the idea of protesting the Fed. Thank you Greg!

Tariffs can protect a country's manufacturing and Labor if the exporting tariff-paying country employs lower-paid or slave labor and/or has lower manufacturing costs due to unscrupulous polluting practices.

Are you really expecting US manufacturing to come back? No one wants our products. The entire sector will remain in contraction for the foreseeable future.

How do we incentivize American consumers to buy American? I don’t like tariffs but I despise China…

Lets start with a stronger currency, the polar opposite of what Trump and Kamala are pushing promising lower rates.

Someone needs to tell Trump because he doesn’t have a clue.

Trump is selling a lie, the same as Kamala. Both calling for a weaker currency and lower rates, meanwhile we need the polar opposite.

Are you that naive? Trump knows exactly what he's doing, if he is even a man. Who knows at this point. He/she is a Jesuit trained freemason actor. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Please wake up.

And freemasonry is jewry for the goyim but few know it. In Trump’s art of the deal book he describes his rabbi teacher. So is he a crypto? People don’t realize who rules over us. Who owns those central banks? Who owns the mainstream media? Who owns Hollywood and the music business? Who runs and owns the big pharmaceutical companies and the medical cult industrial complex? Who has infiltrated our government with the likes of AIPAC and the ADL neither of which have been required by law to register as foreign agents? People are never going to figure it out.

No.. they will never figure it out. They are the Khazarian Mafia. The fake news that infiltrated and took over the real German Jews hundreds of years ago.. probably thousands of years ago. The same persons who supposedly killed the made up Jesus are still in charge... Of everything.

We live in a sewer full of lies and deceptions, mainly deceptions. The evildoers are convinced that EVERYONE thru years of brainwashing and laziness are sheep. They want FULL control of EVERYTHING. AND they want the majority of the population gone. Less people=easier control.

Gregory according to the conservative treehouse, the Trump initiated tariffs did not raise prices or inflation. In fact, CPI went down. What happened was China and other countries devalued their currency to make their products cheaper.

Ok. Look again at the chart in the article, that was during Trumps tenure. Moreover, under Trump the trade deficit exploded.

Of course a tariff is a tax. So is the income tax, Social Security etc, regulations, inflation. Like all taxes, tariffs are dangerous. However they are a tool to raise revenue and to equalize the economics of various foreign government's manipulations. Britain used tariffs to become the premier manufacturer in the world, so did the US, so did China.

When other countries try and destroy our markets via; polluting the heck out of the world, tax rebates and incentives, currency manipulations etc. it is up to any loyal government to defend it's citizen producers.

This is all very tricky and complex and yet we must remember that other countries have their own interests and they are not our interests.

If tariffs is what it takes to get America to produce the necessary items that we need and not rely on other countries who are our enemies then tariffs are a good thing. We get over 90% of basic drugs such as penicillin from China. Covid taught us a lesson we haven't learned it and obviously Greg you haven't learned it either. We need manufacturing in this country without it we're lost. And your beloved middle class will never come back. I hate to tell you Greg but everybody can't be in the stock market we need people to make cars shoes furniture all kinds of pharmaceuticals we cannot be dependent on other countries manufacturing. What we should import are things we can get those from any country we don't have to get them from China we can get them from Jordan from Vietnam and save money on that but when it comes to necessities we have to start manufacturing them in this country.
