2. 'Failed economic policy'---- WHAT 'economic policy'???

Trump's only economic policy has been to enact tariffs against almost every trading partner in the world, unilaterally,
without any action by Congress (which the Supreme Court struck down, according to his initial justification,
but then he came up with a different justification, and I guess challenges to that are still tied up in the courts...)

Tariffs are an anti-progressive TAX on the American people---
and Democratic politicians ought to start calling it what it is---
a UNILATERAL TAX INCREASE which was never voted for by our representatives!!!!
(possibly the BIGGEST tax increase EVER, according to what I have read!)


Yes, and to get Trump out of his unnecessary war of choice,
we are to give Iran more than 300 billion dollars???

(Money that would have been better spent to support Medicaid and SNAP,
which instead have CUTS due to the Trump GQP's "big ugly abortion of a bill" from last year....)

Pardon my rant, it's not directed at you---
the line about 'Trump's failed economic policy', as if there was any real policy--
it just set me off!!!




'The Art of the Yield' -----
'Trump Always Chickens Out! (TACO)

Been making a lot of home-made tacos lately, not sure why---
but I suddenly developed a craving for them!
