my point with the JEC wasn't about tariffs its about Republican policies that show that "will it increase their leverage in the job market enough to boost their earnings enough to counteract the higher prices" is fantasy

The highest levels of leadership of the Republican party have shown time and again that they want a permanent poor underclass through their policies (both enacted and proposed) and actions.

There's no sense in speculation here, if they can put the boot on labors neck, they will 100% of the time



I mean, we were just talking about tariffs, not whatever else may be in their plans.

But point taken, you think that the net result will be worse for poor people. I don’t necessarily disagree, it just seems that this one bit might be somewhat positive for the poor.


The net result will be worse for all people except those in power
