It sure would do the market good if they were struck down, and they just go away though.

I just wonder when the republican base will realize that tariffs are passed onto the consumer and are simply another tax from what used to be the party of small government.

Some of us (republican base) care more about putting a foot up the butts of the elite than we do about paying a few extra bucks for graphics cards.

Or that tarrifs and trade wars have never worked out to the bennifit of the United States. That goods manufactured in the United States if that is really the end goal are in themselves more expensive, and that we have really crossed the Rubicon with that a LONG time ago when we all started buying Japanese electronics.
