Podcaster’s Brain Breaks When He Learns how Trump’s Policy Would Actually Work

[2 Up 2 Down]

A surprising amount of Trump supporters that claim the economy as the number 1 or 2 issue for them voting for him don't know this simple fact

On this topic, ts a wash on both sides. With trump what homeboy said is correct.

With harris, traditionally speaking, if she raises tax on the 1%, cost of goods will increase becuase the greedy corp heads and shareholders are going to say it cost now more to make the same thing. When in actuality, they just dont want to get a slight decrease on thier bonuses and dividends

Either way we are fukked.

That is why Lina Khan is so important

Wouldn't that discourage companies from importing from China and sort of force them to start making things here?

Well that's the marketing plan, but that would actually make the products more expensive. Plus, you still have to import the raw material from somewhere and it's not always gonna be the US.

Nope. Trump's tariffs come with corporate tax cuts just like last time. That combination won't effectively encourage companies to shift production back to America. They will still find it more practical to absorb the costs, especially with the reduced tax burden, and pass these increased costs on to consumers to maintain their profit margins. Trump doesn't really care about American manufacturing; tariffs are just a tool he uses to look tough on trade and justify tax cuts that primarily benefit his wealthy friends and corporate allies.

Breh, it's like we run on a cycle of Republicans fukking up the economy and blaming it on democrats, and people actually believe it.


Bill Clinton left office with a surplus, government was literally mailing checks to people because they had so much money.

Then Bush gets elected, cuts taxes, and funds a decade long war that drives up the national debt. Then he deregulated banks causing the housing market to crash.

Obama is elected and gets blamed for Bush's bad economy. He manages to turn things around and get us on the right path, but Trump gets elected and takes credit for Obama's economy.

Trump cuts taxes without balancing the budget and the national debts gets crazy again, people blame Biden.



I don't understand how people don't see this.

THIS THIS THIS!!!! The government can raise taxes and rich individuals on businesses. Sure, they can wriggle around it by trying to pass on costs.

That is where regulation comes in. Anti-Consumer behavior gets treated as a fact of life too often so having someone who cares matters.

This is why "Net Neutrality" was such a big thing some time back, and this is also why Chevron Deference being struck down is so harmful.

The American populace, a big chunk of them anyway, has been fooled/scared into thinking that anything that takes from the rich folks pockets

means a reckoning for them. That is not true if you have folks who believe in taking the rich to task for misdeeds. Since Reagan, we have done everything but

that.

This is a typical MAGA. They spout crap their “bros” tell them without doing any critical thinking, and when you ask them to explain their beliefs they just get mad

That is one reason why you can't take blue collar conservative voters seriously.

Lina Khan is toast no matter who wins the Election. Y'all are so naive.

"I can see you're a little confused"

translates to

"I can see you're an actual dumb fukk too"

it's almost like they didn't say that in the posted video.

Regardless of what the next president wants, it doesn't change the fact that she is very important for the US people

Clinton deregulates the banks it is the repeal of glass stew hall that set up all the bs that followed when he signed the GLBA.

Bush tax cuts were made permanent by Obama and Obama is never blamed for bush’s bad economy he gets blamed for not going far enough when he had the popular mandate and the house and the senate to make some real change on the level of FDR.

But republicans have done far more damage than the democrats have but corporations run both parties so we’re screwed regardless
