Did Trump ever really get his tariffs. Don't get me wrong, I thought Trump was an idiot for trying to get tariffs passed in Congress. Tariffs act exactly like tax increases on our economy and the only one that benefits from them is the U.S. government. Just like with tax increases, it is us poor saps who pay for those tariffs in the increased price of imported goods. However, whenever I mention that to those who thought Trump could do no wrong, I always get the reply, "well he never got his tariffs passed". I never looked into it to know if he did or did not get them passed.
"Feels great. We finally cut off Russian oil after decades of buying it from them"
"But ya I hope oil hits $300." Hmm.... I thought you said that Biden got us off foreign oil.
Um... I hate to break it to you but that was Trump who did that. Biden made us dependent of foreign oil AGAIN, including Russian oil.
The fact that we are discussing the cost of a barrel of oil actually means that we are buying it from someone else.
"I barely drive and I'm invested in oil stonks"
No, I won't. It's childish. I won't do it. Oh I just can't help it. WHAT IS A "STONK"? There I said it. I got that over with.
So that is really good for you. You benefit on the backs of the poor. How every magnanimous of you. The entire country is burning down but as long as you got yours then everything is fine.
Hey, I thought everyone on the left hated "big oil", what's up with you owning stock? That must mean you have to opposed wind and solar energy or the price of your "stonk" (there, I said it again) will go down.
"I voted for Biden for many reasons but I guess 2 main ones were 1. Covid 2. He isn't Trump."
Oh so you voted AGAINST someone and not FOR someone. In other words you would have voted for a shoe if it ran against Trump. Smart move. Good way to vote your conscience. Boy you really showed us, didn't you.
And how's that COVID thing working out for you? Aside from it actually being all over, Biden told you he had a plan before the election then after the election he said he didn't have a plan. You must have liked that. And even though the pandemic is over, Biden won't admit it.
