Times change. The Smoot-Hawley tariffs of 1930 made the Great Depression much worse than it might have been. Instead of "protecting" American jobs, Smoot-Hawley shut down trade world wide to just a small percentage of what it had been.
We are not in a depression now; we are on the cusp of reclaiming our country. After WW11 we rebuilt Europe, Japan. The problem was we allowed the countries we fought to free to take advantage of our genericity. They did not pay their fair share re: words of the Democrats. Congress allowed countries to take our manufacturing and charged us unreasonable Tariffs. The proof is in the facts, foreign businesses are building business in the USA, in order to avoid tariffs. Jobs for USA citizens.
Like the Korean car company that was building a new plant in Georgia when ICE arrived and deported several hundred of the Korean workers who were building the plant?
Foreign businesses have been building plants in the US for decades. Trump has had nothing to do with it. What is "genericity (without the quotes)?"
"reclaiming our country....." By the end of 2026, the national debt is expected to hit $40 trillion, with $12 trillion coming from just 6 years of Trump. Not sure we'll have a country thanks to Trump.
"4 years of Biden....." The worldwide inflation coming out of COVID was brought down to normal levels. Supply chain issues were covered. Unemployment rate went a little under 4%, considered as full employment by economists. Anyone who wanted a job could find one. Stock markets hit all time highs under Biden. Markets have been in a trading range since he left office. Oil production hit all time highs during his term. Gas prices started to come down after companies made up major losses during COVID due to greatly reduced driving.
Biden put together a coalition of the willing to fight Putin's imperialistic aggression in Ukraine. Biden even got far away Japan, South Korea, and Australia to contribute to the effort. And no American boots on the ground.
In March 2024, Larry Kudlow, Trump's economics advisor for Trump's first term, grudgingly admitted publicly that the Biden economy was pretty good. In October, 2024, the British news magazine, The Economist, said that the US had the best economy in the world with its recovery from COVID.
My retirement and other investment accounts made good money under Reagan and Clinton. I was able to retire at age 49 with Clinton's markets. Biden's four years were the best ever financially for me, even including 2022.
More lies, if only the American people would do their research, these childish statements are what they are. Repeat a lie enough times and it seems to become true. Where was all the hoop-la when Billy done anything, he had power over.
Actually easy. Trump's national sales tax; a.k.a. tariffs; made $30 billion in January. Based on results from 2025, Trump's reckless spending would have added around $200 billion to the national debt in January. Meaning that Trump lied yet again when he said that his tariffs would reduce the national debt.
Also noteworthy is the decline in the number of manufacturing jobs in about every month of 2025. Another lie by Trump that said tariffs would bring manufacturing back to the US.
Recent jobs report does not support your claim. Trillions being invested in the USA by outside of US companies. It may take a little time for this to take effect, but it will. If stock market is any gauge for the future we are on our way for a complete recovery.
"it may take a little time for this to take effect....." Yeah, like never. Trump is all talk and no action. As for your recent jobs report, we'll see. Trump fired the professionals at BLS and installed loyalists. To paraphrase Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: "can you smell those books being cooked?"
What happened to the GOP? Used to preach less govt interference $ while they’ve delivered on some they optics & way deregulation are being handled is deplorable. That BIG BOGUS BILL adds $4-6 TRILLION to the deficit to benefit only the top 10% of Americans leaving 90% of us footing the cost & looking for bits of relief. Yeah the DEMS are no panacea but MAGA is far worse.
Where was all the caring when Clinton, Obama, Biden were increasing the deficit.
It is a sign that TDS is a phobia that needs professional care. No matter what President Trump does is crucified by the mean street media and haters. When we go out, we notice people spending money, enjoying the movies, eating, shopping, and driving on $2.50 gasoline. Then I notice old women in Minnesota screaming in the streets to protect criminals. Old hippies who demonstrated against Vietnam war veterans. What has happened to the Democrat party? It used to care about the Constitution and Bill of rights.
The GOP has moved to a very popular position representing the working man. Up until the 1960's the democrats had the hold over the working man. Now the democrats represent the WOKE populus, gays, trans, Illegal migrants, welfare recipients, climate change nuts, non-assimilating migrants, white liberal who feel guilty because of perceived prejudice, old woman who were anti-war Vietnam demonstrators, DEI government employees, and more.
The GOP represents CORP America & what they spewed sounded good for the “working man” but was only about getting the vote. Their actions prove this correct.
Clinton ended his term with a budget surplus which Bush promptly ended by an unnecessary tax cut and getting the US into two wars that were paid for by bankers in the Far East. Obama had to clean up after Bush's "Great Recession." By the end of Obama's terms, the annual budget deficit was way down. Biden had to clean up Trump's mess. Remember unemployment 10% or higher in summer, 2020?
The Covid hoax was the cause for unemployment numbers. Only stupid people would fall for the shutdown the nation for a flue. Why did Biden staff autopen a pardon for Dr Fauche?
My sister-in-law died from your COVID "hoax," bubba. She was healthy beforehand. Couple good friends still dealing with Long-COVID symptoms. Care to try again?
That's so awesome because we have to start working on paying our deficit down and this is a great way to get it done, and it will work as long as we the true American citizens keep the Democrat's out of office !! MAGA our president Donald Trump's leadership is working !
Tariffs have been used since the beginning of the USA. Supreme Court must support these tariffs.

Interesting how you left out 4 years of Biden.

TDS....... Trump Did Stormy (or tried to)?
Well better that Jill
The baby sitters sitting in joes lap or Joe daughter taking showers eith the pervert dad is it ??
We want legal workers to get the jobs. NOT ILLIGALS, good decision to deport ILLEGALS.
No more than Obama mistakes in putting children in cages !? It was an error admitted and corrected!! How is your TDS today ?
More lies, if only the American people would do their research, these childish statements are what they are. Repeat a lie enough times and it seems to become true. Where was all the hoop-la when Billy done anything, he had power over.
Just for you. The latest definition of TDS: "Trump Did Schoolgirls."
You poor souls really need fresher material.
Still well below what will be needed to cover the cost of the BIG BOGUS BILL.
How did you come to this conclusion. Data to support your comment is not founded.

Not the deficit ceiling raised by $4 Trillion it’ll take way more then the remaining time DUMP has in office to cover the cost of that BIG BOGUS BILL.

What happened to the GOP is an equally good question.

It was a Republican congress that lowered the budget deficit.
Nice try. Gingrich resigned after the 1998 elections.
