As an alternative, we've recently become members of a local food co-operative. We tried the locally roasted, fair trade coffees they sell and found them to be wonderful and also reasonably priced.

I am starting to think this has nothing to do with trade and is more becoming a way to tax regular people to pay for their tax cuts for the rich.

(5,800 posts)They claim the purpose of the tariffs on foreign goods is to make them more expensive and we will choose to buy American products. But if we buy only American goods, then we wouldnt pay any tariff and there would be no additional tax revenue.
But if we still buy foreign goods and pay the tariffs, generating all that tax revenue, why does their budget still require raising the debt ceiling by $4 trillion?
