US Steel laying off 100's of workers, because the steel and aluminum tariffs are working.
Kmart, Sears, Lowe's and other retail chains, are closing stores at an exponential rate, laying off 1000's of workers, because the America first policies are bearing fruit.
The Administration in the WH are struggling to find ways to put more money in people's pockets, such as a cut in payroll deductions, to stave off a recession which they claim can't and isn't happening.
Arkansas lost more farms to bankruptcy this month, added to the dozens of family farms already lost, because there's no longer a market for their crops. So far, few to none of them have received any of the promised "help" in the form of taxpayer funds. More farms are expected to go belly up around the country.
If trade wars are so easy to win, why is it taking so long? If tariffs are the ticket to prosperity, why are US citizens the folk paying those tariffs? I find it a curious formula for economic expansion; making citizens pay more for stuff, making citizens bail out specific industries that are no longer viable, all while causing massive layoffs, which further erodes tax revenues..................and requiring more taxpayer funded bailouts.
