You're incorrect. Talk to ANY auto worker that works in the factory, especially how tariffs have affected them.
Falling inflation!??!
The Constitution specifically assigns the power of taxation to Congress. Tariffs are taxes.
Yes. That's the way it has ALWAYS been interpreted. This was blatantly illegal and unconstitutional. It was known from the start by almost everyone that it wouldn't stand up in court.
Funny how the narrative swings back and forth depending on the ruling.
Yes, he talked about it and people ate it up. But somehow we're both simultaneously always getting ripped off and the most prosperous country in the world ever.
I am lifelong GOP and could not agree with you more.
No, that's Socialism and Communism.....it's perfect with good hearted honest government officials that are pure as angels just wanting to help the workers and not really interested in the absolute power they have.
I think that is somewhat fair but man have you seen who has taken over the Democratic party? Geesh they don't even hide it as they are proud Socialists....Democratic Socialists. I say throw both groups out and let's move back to the center with very few major differences in the parties....those days are probably over.
That is mostly true, but the FTC, ITC, WCO, etc. care very much about IP rights. While it is difficult (but not impossible) to stop Chinese factories from making counterfeit goods, it is possible to stop them from being sold, especially in the US.
The Globalist religion started in the 90s under the guise of economic efficiency. Along with all the jobs we exported our prosperity while contributing to building up China. What a disaster. Wall Street chased the profits and the cultural globalists types chased the one world con.
Entire is a strong word. I regularly am willing to pay 25-40% more for a number of items just to avoid buying Chinese crap, and have done so every time I can....Speed Queen washing machine, Braun shavers, and specific brands of tech hardware jump immediately to mind. However, most of the time there is simply no other option.
Yep. Trump is trying to blow up the economic system that made this country the richest and most prosperous the world has ever seen. It was set up greatly to our benefit. My biggest question is WHY is he doing it? It makes no sense whatsoever.
IEEPA doesn't have a scale for tariffs. It's not meant for tariffs and why no previous president used it for such. There are other ways that Congress has delegated tariffing powers to the President but there are restrictions and involve Congress as a sign off to an extent.
Why werent those other sections used then? Seems foolish to use a controversial(and clearly improper to many) justification when there are three legitimate ways for the tariffs to 'go forth'.
Agree. Some higher priced items are quality and worth it. Some are commodity and difficult to even approach the overseas price.
I was repeatedly told the other countries pay tariffs. So US consumers and businesses shouldnt get refunds since US consumers and businesses havent paid for the tariffs.
I agree with your post's point, but the red part doesnt align with what has happened here. The legislature and executive are the same party, yet the legislature hasnt been a 'bill factory'. The legislature has actually been anything but a bill factory. If the legislature had set these tariffs, we wouldnt be talking about this SCOTUS decision right now.
"Why werent those other sections used then?"
The judicial branch of government is the one that seems to have no checks. See the NCAA rulings as a prime example. Lifetime appointments on the Supreme Court are ridiculous. And a lot them refuse to retire even when well up into their 80s.
I just don't understand why it's so hard for so many of you all to understand that this is a sports message board and not a politics board. If yall love talking politics so much, there are plenty of places where you can go and discuss it. 95% of us come here for.....gasp....SPORTS. Leave the garbage at the door.
Supreme Court strikes down bulk of Trump’s tariffs
The Supreme Court cast aside the bulk of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs Friday, obliterating a canon of his economic strategy in ruling that his use of an emergency statute to remake glob…thehill.com
As long as they execute the ones that are on the books...
Congress can impeach or write new laws. We can amend the constitution. Those are excellent checks against the judicial. Bigger problem is we elect a bunch of do-nothings in Congress so the checks are less likely to ever be used. That's not a design flaw though. It's people problem (garbage in garbage out).
You don’t have to read it if you don’t want to.
What some "honest people" disagree with is the assumption that the power to regulate importation inherently includes the power to impose duties. The crux of the opinion is that Congress does not delegate the power to impose duties without saying so.
What are duties then ? I guess since they are a tax paid by the American consumer after they are eliminated instead of 2.4% inflation we will be a -3% deflation ?? Explain that for me
Dragging it out. Get the one that would most likely not get past the supreme court out of the way first. My guess.
I am not arguing with you, please know. I am just not understanding the strategy you are guessing they are following.
Do you not watch the news ? Try reading some economic reports on inflation and the GDP. Do you expect prices to drop ?? That would be negative growth. 2.4% is much better than 9% we had 2 years ago. Maybe you need to learn some fiscal responsibility.
Wait until we get into another disastrous Middle East war. The Republican Party may become so unpopular it will become a minor party (not to be confused with the minority party/party of opposition) or will have to totally rebrand itself like it did between the end Bush 43's second term and 2015.
He wanted no restrictions. The others statutes have stipulations and can require Congress to extend after a period of time. IEEPA was a Hail Mary to remove Congress or restrictions entirely. He's surrounded by yes men or people that have very aggressive (some say crackpot) legal theories. Apparently, nobody explained this route was a bad idea.
