Tariff settlement with Japan

Did you do similar deep dive when Biden ran up cumulative 21% inflation? You know there were some items that doubled and tripled in price for you to pull out examples. I must have missed those posts of yours on the old board last year.
No Karen, why would I pay premium to interact with a nimrod as yourself.

Hold that thought nimrod, you seem somewhat challenged the way you attach yourself to unknown persons, but maybe you could be of some help to me. Earlier today Obli and I were talking about the US taking 90% of Japan's $550 Billion, economists are scratching their heads over this deal, and I thought possibly you could come up with some justification in this mystery. Sometimes simple minds can avoid the complexities of overthinking and find a simple answer, this is often observed in children.



I don't follow the intricacies
of global economics, but what does the below decree mean?
Japan will give us 90% from their $550 billion US investment!

I think most trade falls under USMCA so they're only arguing about things not covered by that agreement.

Trump claims that part of the disagreement is that Canada hasn't done enough to stop Fentanyl. I'm surprised if that's true. Canada isn't Mexico. The thing that bugs me most about Canada is that they only spend 1.3% of GDP on defense while we spend 3.4%. I'm tired of the USA bearing the financial burden for everybody else.
We should spend less on defense. Where's DOGE when you need them?
 
So... tariffs drop to 15%, Japanese market barriers get nuked, and the US receives over half a trillion? ****. Japanese automakers have even responded by lowering prices to help compensate for the tariffs. Any one of those items would normally be considered a great deal.

Joe, you know yourself they’re only a great deal when the contracts and agreements are ratified by each party. There’s a long way to go.

There is no need for name calling. I simply asked you a question which you did not answer. Did you post about the cumulative 21% inflation under Biden last year or at any time on any forum or social media? Only now that we have inflation running 10% lower than what Trump inherited have you complained about it with a specific cherry-picked example not representative of the aggregate inflation. Your owners are prompting that, just like they lied to you and told you that 40 year high and sticky inflation was "transitory". But who are you to question their narrative? You aren't permitted to think critically or for yourself.

As to the US taking 90% of the profit of Japan's $550 Billion investment in American companies, could you provide some details as to specifics of how this cannot work? Likely the US companies are receiving 90% of the profit from the direct investment while Japanese companies also make significant profit from parts or other supply to the $550 Billion operation run by the American companies who will retain 90% of the profits from the sale of the finished product.

I also listened for a bit to your Obama administration economist on your MSNBC indoctrination "news". It is funny how he is critical of all that Trump is now accomplishing that they said could not be accomplished and that they did not even attempt when they had the office. And what this "economist" attacks is his projection of results that he thinks the tariff deals will create that have not to this point happened in the slightest. All this while the Biden official never once acknowledges any benefits particularly of growth from the trillions in investments from the deals nor the hundreds of billions of dollars increase in US tariff revenue (nearly 80% increase from before Trump).

I won't ask you to think rationally, logically, critically or even for yourself. You have to choose to do that or simply continue to only regurgitate what your owners feed you.

I completely agree there needs to be follow up to ensure the agreement is followed. As long as Trump is in office, I have very few worries on that end.

Japan is reporting there's discrepancies in what the U.S. is commenting on the tariffs and Japan is reporting.

Right.......lying to American people is politics.


Agreed. Just recall all the lies about Obamacare......

Obamacare architect discussed misleading public in 4th newly uncovered video​


https://www.cnn.com/2014/11/13/politics/tapper-gruber


As Congress voted on the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, in 2010, one of the bill’s architects, MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, told a college audience that those pushing the legislation pitched it as a bill that would control spiraling health care costs even though most of the bill was focused on something else and there was no guarantee the bill would actually bend the cost curve.

In recent days, the past comments of Gruber – who in this 2010 speech notes that he “helped write the federal bill” and “was a paid consultant to the Obama administration to help develop the technical details as well” – have been given renewed attention. In previously posted but recently noticed speeches, Gruber discusses how those pushing the bill took part in an “exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter,” taking advantage of voters’ “stupidity” to create a law that would ultimately be good for them.

Obamacare was promoted by promising coverage for more people and cost savings for the rest while adding nothing to the deficit. More people are being covered but it's pretty much just expanded eligibility for Medicaid. The cost savings was supposed to occur because non profit co-ops would compete with insurance companies but they all failed. It was also supposed to lower cost by reducing reimbursement rates to providers and that's been overridden by doc fix bills. We were going to pay for it with added taxes on Cadillac plans, insurance companies, and medical devices but that didn't happen either.

The bottom line is we added more people to Medicaid and added roughly $150 billion per year to the annual deficit.
