I hope the child knows what he's doing.

After Ryan's tax cut plan the treasury is selling a lot of debt.

The fed has cut back buying and if China does the same interest rates are going to jump.

Hang on to your wallet.

I wonder if the child is just bored now that he can't have fight with Mr Kim so he moved to Mr Xi.

Trump isn't repeating the past....
Apr 8, 2018 6:43AM PDT

but you seem to forget that the 'past' was only a year and a half ago....you make it sound as if it's ancient history so can be excused. You also keep stating that we have a strong economy.....it's because of TRUMP that we do, but you just can't admit it because BO gave Trump a FALSE appearance of a 'turned around economy' that you've bought into, Bob....it was FALSE because of the TRILLIONS BO DUMPED INTO WALL STREET....the VERY entity that he excoriated for his entire term. Trump stopped that, and the economy got better drastically ON ITS OWN.

You have to stop taking the pills you've been buying off the liberal streets....they've destroyed your ability to see and think straight.

You keep referring to Trump as the 'child'.....please show me where this 'child' has HURT our country with his decisions. If you mention his tweeting as proof again then I'm going to have to point to the past behavior of BO again because he used the television comedy and talk shows to be childish (and he continues to do so) and you don't want THAT, do you?

I don't excuse anything I just don't keep carping about it.

It's one thing to act like a child when your on a comedy show, your there to make people laugh.

It's another thing to act like a child when your driving the bus.

Another one of your jump to a conclusion and it's wrong.

I have not excused BO or Clinton of anything I just don't carp about it.

I carp about the child we have driving the bus today.

I've said before that I think Toni is struggling
Apr 8, 2018 5:04PM PDT

with problems we know not of. Time for me to back away from her, sad over any contribution I may have made to them.
I hope she reads my "Service Overseer" post on the Hart thread.
If she is that predictable to others here, maybe they could back off, too.
Just sayin'.

something that 'strong arms' people and 'hostage taking' like when dealing with people at THEIR door where you came UNINVITED. And you think I'M the one struggling? You toss Bible 'numbers' at people in nearly every post you put in SE and you don't see that as HOSTILE and possibly UNWANTED TEACHINGS on your part? Of course not, because bullies don't recognize that trait in themselves.

Good...back away....one less I have to deal with or even try to have a rational discussion with here.

discussions regarding current events as a 'game' to be played. I understand now....you CAN'T debate because YOUR ammo box is empty so you take your 'ball' and go home after taking a potshot/zinger/one-liner insult to the CURRENT president just because you can even if you can't prove any carp you make. You just live in FEAR of him but accuse ME of living in fear because I actually HAVE GUNS AND AMMO. LOL

Current events
Apr 10, 2018 1:22PM PDT

Your idea of current events is to drag out your anti-dem grudge list.

My opinion of congress is they are a bunch of people jockeying for position/votes.

Fear of the child?.....yes
You can't tell what direction the child will go tomorrow.

As for your physical guns....keep at least one close....there is a bad guy behind every tree.

Back to this topic....Tariffs
Apr 8, 2018 10:35AM PDT

Can you honestly admit that since NAFTA, and the admittance of China in the WTO, we have ALWAYS been in a tariff war AND that we've been on the losing end of it? This isn't something that Trump started, Bob.....Clinton signed NAFTA into law in 1993, and GWB allowed China into the WTO on Nov. 11, 2001, two months after 9-11 after 15 years of negotiations. Neither one of them, nor did BO, do ANY overseeing of what impact these treaties were doing to our own economy in this country....they were all more concerned with the GLOBAL garbage, but at least during GWB's terms, he had the excuse of being distracted by anti-terrorism efforts while Dems were pretty much in charge of our financial structures during his last four years in office. I fault Bush's advisors for this.

In any event, tariff wars have been around this whole time.....it's not a Trump creation, as much as you would like to blame him for it.

Another jump to a conclusion
Apr 8, 2018 11:25AM PDT

And your wrong again.

I did not blame the child for tariffs.

I just wondered if he had thought this through or perhaps it's something that plays to the base.

As I said earlier global trade requires all the players to play by the same rules.

I would like to see this end at the negotiating table and then both sides go away happy and there is no economic shock.
