If China ends its tariffs on our goods, we'll end ours on theirs...it's that simple- what President Trump means by "RECIPROCAL"...which, of course, confuses the economically-challenged left...
Naturally , the anti-American left oppose the President standing up to Chinese protectionism....as opposed to the Obamagrovel...in all matters foreign policy-related.

For those that rant against the tariffs;
China still maintains high duties on some products that compete with sensitive domestic industries. For example, the tariff on large motorcycles is 30 percent. Likewise, most video, digital video, and audio recorders and players still face duties of approximately 30 percent. Raisins face duties of 35 percent
China makes selective use of its Value-Added Tax to keep out American phosphate fertilizer, China began exempting all phosphate fertilizers except diammonium phosphate (DAP) from the VAT. DAP, a product that the United States exports to China
Chinese government uses Quarantine Inspection Permits (QIPs) to keep out American agricultural products, causing costly delays while they sit on the docks:
America has a wide variety of financial and insurance services that American companies could market in China, but the Chinese government simply restricts market access
China taxes some American imported goods at 25% or more, we also tax imports from China, the rate varies by product, China has never had fair trade, they want to export as much as they can and import as little as possible, they use these taxes to make our products uneconomical.

Hmmm. That would be thoughtful. It would be like abortion up to age 70.
Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

If you know better ways to make (earn) money why didn't you implement them?
How much money did you "pay" in? How much do you get out?

You don't know what irony is, by any chance, do you?

True, but when voters go into their booths next November, they should all be thinking "Am I better off now than a year ago?"

Such as? Where did you invest all of your money to make your fortune? While I agree a diverse portfolio is smart, part of that portfolio should be stocks, if not mutual funds.
This is very extreme, very emotional and, IMHO, very hypocritical.

Real estate is, indeed, a good investment. My wife and I have several rental properties, although we are liquidating all but one.

Has anyone in this thread explained causation?
Also odd, the tariffs won't be imposed for another 60 days.
