EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC

sullat posted:

Weren't they trying to take that away during the lame duck session? Or were the Republicans not smart enough to think that far ahead?

I don't recalled hearing this happening.

http://money.cnn.com/2016/11/14/news/economy/trump-tariffs-china-mexico-trade-war/

There are four ways Trump can impose tariffs.

1. Invoke the "Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917". Which means he impose tariffs as high as he wants. Nixon did this in 1971 citing the Korean War. Trump can easily say we're at war with ISIS as justification.

2. Invoke the "International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977." Again these tariffs can be as high as he wants. "Emergency" is vague. The loss of manufacturing jobs to Mexico and China can be called an emergency as justification.

3. Invoke Section 122 of the "Trade Act of 1974". At max since would be a 15% on all goods and last for 150 days. It then requires Congressional approval to continue.

4. Invoke the "Trade Expansion Act of 1962". This would be targeted tariffs on certain industries, but again, as high as Trump wants.


Listening to that audio with Ross. Option 2 seems the most likely to be used to me. Although option 3 would probably be a quicker to impose a 10% tariff across the board.

Massive inflation lowering the real value of owed debts is about the best case scenario your average rear end in a top hat can expect under Trump

Watch Mnuchin make debt and debt only adjust to inflation
