No surprise, liberals have been pushing war-like rhetoric against Russia and China for a while.
Tariffs aren't war-like. But it is mainly hawks who don't like that Trump will be meeting with Kim Jung Un.
Tariffs are economic nationalism, which is tantamount to declaring war, especially these targeted ones. After all, you can't declare total war if your economy is dependent on somebody else.
Tariffs that are maybe 1% of total trade with a country are equivalent to declaring war? LOL. I bet even historical anti-tariff politicians like William Jennings Bryan supported more tariffs than that.
Yeah because now we have progressive ways to source revenue - income taxes, CGT, wealth taxes etc.
If you seriously think the American establishment preparing for conflict with China is done out of progressivism, you're super naïve.
We should have tariffs on any country that doesn't have reasonable labor or environmental standards.
lol
The US has no labor standards? And no environmental standards?
In what world?
Insufficient labor and environmental standards, ok, that might be agreeable. Saying there is
no labor and environmental standards, that's different.
