In reply to the discussion: China slaps retaliatory tariffs of 84% on U.S. goods in response to Trump [View all]Bengus81
(9,698 posts)13. Yeah...Trump fucks it up just like in 2018 and taxpayers FUND another round
of subsidy checks for farmers. How many checks will that be if a new round goes through since the 30's....three?
Hey Congressional Democrats...IF they get one more fucking dime of subsidies then propose a quarterly stimulus check of $1,000 with the same income restrictions as during Covid.
The richest of the rich get a huge tax cut,Corporations get a MASSIVE tax cut and farmers get yet another subsidy check. The rest of us?? We always get FUCKED. That shit has to stop.

OP
If you go by product value, I suspect that China's tarrifs will hurt US manufacturer's much harder.

If any other politician had done 1/10th of what the fucking asshole is doing, they would have been thrown out by now.
