TRUMP 

TARIFFS

AND TAX CUTS SCREW MIDDLE CLASS

Hey MAGAs, thanks for nothing in terms of screwing with hard-working middle-class Americans. By your vote, by your blind fear of a woman being President vs a felonious blowhard, you have now hurt yourselves, your friends and neighbors.  First off, let’s look at the Tariffs.

Trump announced his most wide-ranging slate of tariffs yet on Wednesday afternoon, imposing a 10 percent baseline tax on imports from nearly all foreign countries, along with tariffs of up to 50 percent on dozens of nations.

These tariffs will raise consumer prices and will force our trade partners to retaliate Americans will become poorer because of these tariffs.

If you think this will be a golden age, it won’t but it will be a return to the global economic catastrophe of the Smoot-Hawley tariffs of the 1930s that will disproportionately hurt low income and hardworking Americans,

Do you actually think that a person who invested his sweat and toiled long hours to have a sustaining business all of a sudden will eat the cost and save consumers money? If they did that would be socialism, a thing the GOP has accused the Democrats of being.

Who will pay?

The uniformed, short sighted taxpayers that not only ONCE but TWICE fell for Trump’s bullshit.

You better believe that American consumers, families, and workers will feel real pain, and elected policymakers in Washington hopefully will be held accountable by voters.

The Smoot-Hawley tariffs are widely blamed for plunging the U.S. deeper into the Great Depression. Despite this, Trump claimed Wednesday that the depression would not have happened if tariffs had continued.

The tariffs also upend decades of careful financial negotiations with partners and financial institutions. Plus, it is interesting that Russia, North Korea and Cuba were not on Trump’s list. If anything, this proves that this  buffoon is some kind of agent or else an ignorant slob.

Then there are the tax cuts. All of this money realized by this administration will go to the rich.  The middle class tax cut, if there is one will be obliterated by higher inflation on goods and services. Last time America was told that the tax cuts would pay for themselves through investments by major companies.

You know what they did? Took it for themselves. And just a reminder, LuLac land, here are the guys, all millionaires by the way, who WANT that second round of tax cuts.

The line up

 

THE ROOKIE KID

THE BEST BOSS EVER (NOT)

THE INVISIBLE SENATOR (only seen when needed to vote)

 

These are the guys that looked you in the eye and conned you into thinking they gave a shit about YOU!

To local voters who EVEN THINK of voting for ANY MAGA REPUBLICAN in this general election, you’re misguided. All of them supported the “policies” of Trump.

Policies that SCREW YOU. 

 

SUSAN STRIPTEASE 

STRIKES AGAIN

The tiresome striptease act of Senator Susan Collins of Maine continues.  Collins says she is “concerned” about language in the budget resolution that she fears could result in substantial cuts to Medicaid benefits.

Oh coy Susan the stripper. Brow furrowed and look of concern on those poor Medicaid people. If she was SO concerned why has she voted in lockstep with Trumpanzees for her entire terms?

“I’m concerned about the instruction to the House Committee for $880 billion, it’s the Energy and Commerce Committee in the House, which has jurisdiction over Medicaid, because I don’t see how you can get to that amount without cutting Medicaid benefits,” Collins told reporters.

Susan Collins pooh poohs with “concern” but in most cases, marches her heels to the beat of the drummer in her party. She’s a tease and people are tired of her act.
