There.  Fixed it.

Yeah but TARIFF sounds more Trumpian and Pro-American than stating what it plainly is.

Because you know, as was asked above - why can't you do without if you cannot afford to pay more in taxes to the Beast in D.C.?

@INVAR

China can't match us dollar for dollar on the tariffs, given the trade deficit size.  However, one potential weapon is something you mentioned in another thread regarding Russia...

China is one of the largest holders of U.S. Treasurys, owning about $1 trillion of bonds in 2017, according to the Federal Reserve. Like most investors, it wants to stash greenbacks in something safe and U.S. bonds are still solid investments. However, if the Chinese government gets pushed too far, it could decide to sell off its holdings or stop buying new U.S. bonds — and that could have a significant impact on the U.S. economy. “It’s the nuclear option,” Hooper said.

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/07/19/4-lethal-weapons-china-has-to-help-win-the-us-china-trade-war.html

Everyone seems to forget that Obama got China to buy a bunch of bonds to fund our debt and his spending increases early in his tenure.

Nah I'm no Zombie.  More of a Mummy actually.  Zombies usually work in packs, but mummies are loners. Zombies are stupid creatures who have trouble figuring out "stairs" and "doorknobs," but mummies  can usually figure out complex problems and solutions using the alignment of the stars and some sort of advanced calculus. Mummies usually make their prey look stupid because they themselves are intelligent, but zombie prey ends up looking even stupider because apparently seeing a zombie always makes people do the stupidest things possible in order to get caught (Example: If zombies attack a neighborhood and start killing normals left and right, there will always be a few incredibly stupid bleep who, after already making it safely to their car or panic room, insist upon emerging from their safety to save either their cat [who will survive anyway] or their neighbor [who is already moaning in pain from already being eaten by a zombie]). The good news about this is that when these stupid buttheads get bitten and eaten by zombies themselves, they will become even dumber zombies, and thusly give regular and smart normals more time to escape.

So there you have it.

Maybe it is some type of zombie thing.  Why else would someone embrace the exact same policy that Bernie Sanders campaigned on in 2016?

Be careful, I am pretty sure that @Frank Cannon has the license and monopoly on street-level humor on this board.  In fact, his lawyers are named Guido, wear snakeskin boots with a lot of gold bling and drive white Cadillacs.

They may give you a cease and desist visit which usually involves bowling pins, duct tape, quick-dry cement and gasoline.

He owns most of the Section 8 firetraps in the country.

And he is proud of that feat which requires hard-line management techniques.

Oh, he also has his own microbrewery and medicinal marijuana nursery.

Sounds like a renaissance man.   A real go getter.  A winner.  I bet he is a Trump Supporter.

Of course he is.

He is the guy who invented Corinthian Leather and then trademarked the word "Rich" to be used exclusively with his patent.

He was the guy who put up Ricardo's grandparents in his first flat before Lil' Ricky had his first acting job.  They were friends ever since, and got to work as a gaffer on Fantasy Island for a few years after they cancelled his show.
