Re: Trump 2.0: MAGAA
That's not true - you care what the Euros think/do when it supports your argument but don't when it doesn't.
Didn't trump and CH say that we'd be respected again internationally? We're disliked more now than when biden was POTUS. What happened?

This is really simple
Trump is pushing the Euros to pay their bills
The freeloading on the back of the USA is over

His ideas weren’t groundbreaking. They supported the consolidation of wealth and power in the hands of economic royalists. They were a pushback against the successes of the New Deal and an emerging middle class. In modern terms: oligarchy and a disregard for the workers who he viewed as parasites.

Re: Trump 2.0: MAGAA

Welfare growth in this country started in earnest with the New Deal. The New Deal was initially emergency spending created in large part by the deregulatory free for all of the 1920’s and subsequent market crash.
Sowell would call these welfare recipients, parasites, as though they didn’t want to work and relished the Great Depression. Yet worker productivity has steadily increased since 1948 while wages have not kept pace over the last 50 years. So you end up with full time Walmart employees qualifying for welfare to simply maintain a working class lifestyle. Ironically, welfare spending has partially replaced living wage increases which in turn benefits the investor class and corporations by maintaining demand. IOW’s the wealthy also benefit from welfare spending. The end result is an oligarchy and finger pointing at the lazy parasitic workers of America.
Sowell’s statement above is simply worn out and dumb and not backed by reality.

When he says parasite, he’s not talking about the new deal that followed the Great Depression
He’s talking about how the welfare mentality cultivated by Democrats on the modern day plantations for votes, is not productive for anyone except lifelong politicians and their parasites

That darned Trump/kalm economic plan of introducing punitive tariffs and ditching the rules based order didn't work out like we wanted it to. Amazingly, it pissed people off. If only we could've predicted that.

Well, considering you bailed on that argument this morning I fail to see how you claim victory in that one. I just assume you're still trying to figure out how to read a SCOTUS ruling all the way through without resorting to the cliff notes. As for this one, economies and economic policies play out over a long time period, so your backing of tariffs as the cost for others to access the American markets, ala Trump economics, is just a slow motion disaster. I'll take the victory lap for the next couple of years.
