Putting America First After Decades of Exploitation

Amil Imani

For far too long, America has been the world’s punching bag regarding trade. Foreign nations—some allies, some adversaries—have exploited our generosity, reaping profits while draining our industries, jobs, and national pride. However, under President Donald J. Trump, that era of weakness is over. With his bold tariff policies, Trump is fulfilling his promise to put … Read more

Inflation Is Repudiation

James Bovard

Did Donald Trump learn anything from watching Joe Biden economically suicide-bomb his own presidency? President Trump is decreeing new tariffs and issuing sweeping tariff threats on a weekly basis.

Stock Slide: What If It’s Withdrawal From Fed Money Addiction?

Steve MacDonald

Democrats are actually happy to see the stock market drop. It’s the first real opportunity they’ve had to point to something that looks real that sounds good coming out of their mouths: tariffs, fear, prices, stock drop, Trump—end of the world.

Sununu, Trump, And Tariffs

Steve MacDonald

At least a few Granite Staters will be displeased. We are not rid of Chris Sununu. He’s still finding a way to get his face on television even though he’s not in elected office. Sure, he’s been subpoenaed for a wrongful arrest lawsuit, so we should expect to see some Sununuing around that, but why … Read more

Mary Rooke

Americans voted to give President-elect Donald Trump a mandate to enact his campaign promises. Without even stepping foot in the Oval Office, he’s already delivering.

Trump’s Latest Tariff Plan Just Replaces One Tax with Another

Ryan McMaken

On Monday, Donald Trump floated the idea that he might seek to replace the federal income tax with federal taxes on imports—also known as tariffs.  This is potentially a good idea, but not for economic reasons.

Tariffs Are Like A Golf Handicap

Ray Cardello

There has been so much talk in the last few weeks, and it appears that there are only two schools of economics, and they have very different views on the impact on the economy. The ironic fact is that both parties use tariffs, including Biden/Harris, but the mainstream media only wants to go after Trump … Read more

Wanjiru Njoya

As Democrats and Republicans both express support for tariffs, the economic implications of protectionist policies are once again at the forefront of public debate.

So the Dow Jones dropped over 600 points on Friday after Fascist China announced it would increase tariffs on $75 billion of United States goods, and President Trump said he would respond in kind.

The United States is not doing enough to promote free trade. Lately we have been an initiator of trade barriers. That has been true over the last two years.
