You’re in a minority if you’re fine with the tax hikes. If all these tariffs go into effect, they’ll completely negate and overtake any benefits middle class Americans received from the tax cuts.
As far as who holds what cards and who is willing to take the hit longer, we’ll see. Trump is a 4-8 year president, max. Xi Jinping is there for life.
Cohn was an advisor until the tariff fight began. Kudlow is against them and probably joined to talk him down. We’ll see if he lasts as long as Cohn.
Last first as is my wont.
Well, these last tariffs are after Kudlow joined. Seems he is down with the fight.
Yeah... seems like there was no chance Reagan would tear down that wall either. I see where you are coming from.
I am fine with broadening the tax base. Like most conservatives/kudlow/Austrian economics. And no, losing 170 billion and gaining 800 billion is not a blow to American workers. It is a blow to China mercantilism and global military expansion.
