When Trump started his trade war and levying Tariffs on the whole world it increased the trade imbalance from $640 billion to $855 billion. But yet his supporters love him I guess this is another way of making America Great again. (NO ITS MAKE AMERICA PAY MORE) The disturbing part is this Trump convinced his base that the tariffs are hurting China and China is paying billions of dollars in tariffs, but what his base does not understand is tariffs are a tax on American tax payers because we pay more for imported goods. It is estimated that American tax payers are beginning to feel the effects to the cost of at least $1,000 a year.
So costs of goods go up wages are stagnant and inflation rises due to a Trump inflicted problem.
But let’s get to the socialism issue. The farmers are the most effected by the Trump tariffs. When the self inflected problem kicked in and farmers began to feel the impact Trump started a program to subsidize the farmers that are in trouble. So he found $12 billion to subsidize these farmers for a crisis that Trump created. But that’s kind of strange only 39% of the farmers received subsidies with most of that cash going to commercial farmers and not the small farmers that are really feeling the impact. Now this $12 billion is on top of the $24 billion the republicans gave these same commercial farmers.
So as far as socialism: Trump created this problem, (TARIFFS) (TAX ON AMERICAN PEOPLE) ( INFLATION RISING) (TRADE IMBALANCE INCREASING) and the way Trump fixes his self inflicted problem is to create a subsidy that is socialism. That’s kind of strange when the Trump base screams that democrats are socialist.

The difference is in who gets the money.
If the rich man gets it is to stimulate the economy.
If the average person gets it stimulates the economy better.
But the idea behind it al is what is the easiest way to get the money in the rich mans pocket.
What do you think lobbyist do for there money?
They transfer the money to the law makers.
As always one needs to follow the money.
Those involved try not to leave a plain path as to how this is done.
A politician getting money from some one leaves open a good investment prospect.
Inside trading information that is a huge advantage.
A great deal for the politician.
An act that is socialist in nature But at the heart of crony capitalism.
It just goes to show that capitalism is not the panacea many claim it to be.
What the heck! The average person is just a loser & they will buy what ever we are selling.
It is for the average voter to get it straight just how capitalistic or socialistic this country this nation is.
I say we have socialism in this country.
Some good (For big money) & some bad. (For the average person.)
As long as it gets to your pocket it is great.
The thing is if you get paid for your part in the work force. (Your labor or input) Socialism is BAD.
But if you deal with the money or production. (Money you get from the government is to stimulate the economy)GOOD.
Either way the money ends up in just a FEW hands or pockets.
One just needs to put aside what the text book has to say on the issue.
Then just rely on what you see & hear.
Every one sees & hears things are not as good as it could be.
So take a good look around & get a better picture of what you see.
So if it helps the economy either way why is it bad to help the man at the bottom first.
Well you are not rich if you don't have more that some one else.
(So if you get a bit more than some one else you should be happy)
While supporting system that rewards those getting much more than you.
Too get a better picture of this one needs to see how the tax laws favor money earned on money over money earned om personal labor (Or input).
