In reply to the discussion: New Plan Proposed To Save Social Security [View all]NJCher
(41,165 posts)I heard two of them talking about the $6000 from the dumbass "BBB." This is only $6000 people drawing Social Security don't have to pay tax on. One of them explained it and it doesn't amount to much. It's a big nothiing.
After explaining it, this person said "I'm a fan (of trump, she meant) and I'm unhappy about this." I said that's nothing, what concerns me is the trillions of dollars we're going into debt over, just from this budget.
The two hastened to assure me the trillions were nothing because he was gettiing it all back in tariffs.
I burst out laughing, right in their faces. I said we, the customers, pay those tariffs. These two Fox Noise watchers looked at me like a deer caught in the headlights. I picked up my phone and said let's just see what search engines say about who pays tariffs. I entered who pays tariffs and the results came up. Every entry except for one said the customer ends up paying the tariffs.
The one that didn't say this was Chicago Law (highly credible) that said it's a little of both. Not 100 per cent sure on that because I didn't read it all, so if you're curious search it.
So yeah, in their heads the trillions of dollars we're going into debt for is going to be paid by tariffs. LOLOLOL.
oh and p.s. One of them owns three Teslas, including a Cybertruck.
