Unreal - the ENTIRE purpose of a tariff is to raise the price of imported goods. Bleacher Creature Sep 2024 #7

Does Kamala Harris support the Biden tariffs? former9thward Sep 2024 #9

Shocking, but maybe Trump actually had a good specific trade target that made sense? OAITW r.2.0 Sep 2024 #56

All presidents since Washington have imposed tariffs. former9thward Sep 2024 #60

There are some products that are needed Wiz Imp Sep 2024 #28

That is not what is happening. former9thward Sep 2024 #43

Sorry but your post is total nonsense Wiz Imp Sep 2024 #72

Those above-referenced "tariffs" which Harris and Biden support have almost zero impact on U.S. GDP. Tarzanrock Sep 2024 #18
