Bank of America says building material manufacturers raising prices in preparation of Trump tariffs

Price increases may be preemptive? There’s a given.
So U pay more and get less for your money, correct? Typically a couch would cost 1000,00 dollars now the same couch is 1,350.00.
That makes sense to you?

You spent and maxed you spending and now want the world to pay down your debt, correct?
We did not spend the money. You did.

It’s not just goods and materials that we buy everyday that are getting more expensive because of the stupid Trump tariffs.

Only I can fix it. LOL

Interesting perspective from a country that has no military and fails to meet its minimum obligations. A person or two may consider that grifting, eh?

Canada isn’t a small country, nor is it a poor one. It’s perfectly capable of meeting its treaty obligations. Yet it spends a mere 1.37 percent of its GDP on defense, or roughly $30.5 billion a year. Despite having the sixth largest GDP among NATO countries, Canada ranks twenty-seventh in defense spending as a proportion of GDP. For comparison, the United States is the third-highest NATO member ranked in percentage of GDP (3.38 percent), behind only Poland and Estonia.

I think you need a little more perspective. Of course the left is screaming the sky is falling. And I expect it to fall a little more. But a wider perspective soothes the soul :smile:

Perhaps if Canada didn’t cheat…we would have better relations.
Canada violated USMCA trade pact by reserving dairy quotas - dispute panel | Reuters.

Actually, Canada’s military called the Canadian Armed Forces or (CAF), is ranked 27 globally in Canada does lag behind other NATO allies in percentage of GDP spent on defence but that is not this subject of the thread.

When you pay down your credit, do you expect others to pay it down for you? Do you whine about the overhead charges and blame others and expect them to pay down your debt???

Trump lies like he breathes.
He added 8 trillion dollars to your debt. He bragged about being the King Of Debt!
Pay down your debt America and leave the world out of it. Suck it up and deal with-it and get Peter Navarro into an insane asylum instead of in your commander and chiefs ear. Navarro was reportedly the chief proponent of the 25% tariffs and steel and aluminium imports.

If protecting your behinds so you can run your socialist free-stuff government into the ground, then yes…I think recouping some tax money is OK. Besides, you can choose and have chosen not to engage in our markets. You do not have to pay for anything.

You get away with this because you crush your people’s will. Tyranical silencing of people who may disagree with the ruling liberal party.

And notice here…they were protestors. Not rioters. Your government considers them terrorists.

In order to invoke the Act, “there must be a belief the protesters constitute a national emergency and cannot be dealt with under existing laws,”

I as well as most of the world concur!
The Dumbest Trade War in History.

At least most of your world interactions may concur— not in my world.

The headline from your article is “tariffs for no good reason”-
The reason, you may have missed it in your world, is to stop the fentanyl infiltration into this country. Since the legalization of marijuana in many states- the drug cartels diversified to keep profits up- Just as every profit centered organization would-
They switched their product to a more addictive and lethal drug not yet decriminalized in the states-
I have witness first hand, the impact of the pharmaceutical industry abuse leading to tragic overdose from fentanyl laced pain killer substitutes- including heroine.

Trump is negotiating with the power of the American consumer, to encourage more of the government involvement to stop the poisoning of American citizens.

Seems like we get mixed signals from the administration. Trump uses drugs as a reason one day, and unfair trade as the reason the next day.

Don’t forget about how the stupid Trump tariffs are going to make all us very rich. Trump is such a jeeneeus, there’s just no way that anyone else could have ever figured this out. :man_facepalming:

Many people are calling it “The Trump Slump” and for good reason.

You’re right. I forgot about that one. He said we would use the tariff money to eliminate income taxes and also fund things like childcare so people could work. But then he follows that up with the tariffs are to force others to do our border security, and then follows that up with the tariffs are because we are being picked on. :clown_face:

The United States of America is going to take back a lot of what was stolen from it by other countries and, frankly, by incompetent U.S. leadership. We’re going to take back our wealth and we’re take back a lot of the companies that left…

Realized that before his first time in office. Much worse now, God help the USA!!
