Title: Despite what Trump says, tariffs aren't boosting the American economy
Post by: Prudence on May 06, 2019, 11:32:30 AM: Guys---I dunno... I know you all think the MSM is the devil but this info isn't from them-it's reported by them--but the info ITSELF is from a non-profit think tank (never really understood the premise of a thinktank btw) that started in 1981. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterson_Institute_for_International_Economics#History

I kinda feel like you guys here at the GetBiggs are either:
A--totally misinformed about how much good this Trump guy is doing
or
B--straight up lying to Uncle Prudence!!!!

Would you guys be lying to me?? No--come on!!!
What the fuck is this about?? Somebody better fucking explain this to me or he'll never get my vote!

“His assertion generally that the Chinese are paying these tariffs is just simply nonsense. It’s a complete misunderstanding of how tariffs work, because tariffs are paid by the importing company and those companies are overwhelmingly American,” said Jacob Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “Ultimately, that means this is a tax paid by the American consumers. The idea that it’s somehow something the Chinese pay is wrong.”

Nothing.
