You are definitely a mad ass hatter to imply that a significant portion of PoC and/or LGBTQ people wanted this.

If tariffs worked at all like Donnie portrays, to revitalize domestic production and promote local jobs, to help balance a trade deficit, and allow for market choice based on quality more than price, it might be useful.
The reality though is that the American manufacturing and industry space is functionally dead. We've shipped production elsewhere to reduce costs and that's not something that'll get reversed in any short order. All his big talk will do nothing beyond get the additional costs passed onto the buying public while the producers keep laughing all the way to the bank. They'll take any extra taxes gained and put it into the military budget and continue stripping public good services to the bone all while cheering how great we've become. Look at the new carrier group we'll build! So much winning for us both domestically and abroad!

Sure thing, stretch.
The Nov 6 election returned both a popular vote and huge electoral victory for maga, The GOP made gains almost everywhere, and 6 million , or so, Biden voters didn't bother to vote.
Hence, those inside America chose.I preferred my original few words, but hey.

Sometimes you have to cut out the cancer and then let it heal.

He’s already planned tax “cuts” that only cut taxes for those making north of $500k/yr. They go up for everyone under that. So we got both!

This seems very odd... Can you give me a source on that? Both the shredding of federal tax income and the relation to public expenditure? It appears I have much to learn

The last time we had a balanced budged was during the Clinton years. Now I was barely out of high school and hardly paid a bit of attention to such matters at the time, but then there was a little event towards the end of 2001 that turned everything upside down. The military and police became supreme concerns and letting The Market
fix everything was the name of the game under Bush. So much so that we got to experience the 2008 collapse during the Obama years in a major part due to the banks giving loans to people who couldn't pay them on properties that where massively over valued. We've never managed to put things back in order since, in part because the climate got so polarized that 'my team' could NEVER support anything in the least that would be supported by THEM.Throw in a dash of citizens united completely shifting any sense of public input into politics for anyone not a multi millionaire or more and some populist prattling about the good-ol-days and you get what we have now where a big chunk of people who can't care to think for a moment of the actual policies being proposed beyond which team put it forth and you have a lovely recipe for an open pillaging by those with the power to do so.
Yeah, part of me wants to just shut off the news for the next several years, but unfortunately being prepared requires being aware...

The posts you reply to have been deleted, but I'm assuming it's talking about "taking responsibilities about the people's vote" based on this single quote...
From a foreigner perspective it's hard to imagine how a federal election is perceived for Americans, because your country is so big with so many states that have completely different mindset and economics.
In Europe we have a shared parliament that works on making compromises on some topics, but I guess a global referendum would be a huge mess too.

Surely, if printing money (theoretically) causes inflation; and if collecting taxes reduces inflation, then the two are somewhat closely related.
If the amount of money that can be created by the government is somewhat limited, then surely tax money is another valid source for that money.
