Ah, another Veghead thread where the sarcasm is rich, the substance is missing, and the punchline is… “Duh.” Powerful stuff. I’m sure the economic community is trembling in awe.

 Now, I fully expect you to go through your patented 4-step evasion cycle:

Step 1: I ask you a direct question
Step 2: You deflect with a smug question of your own
Step 3: I remind you of the original question
Step 4: You accuse me of evading while continuing to dodge

 Rinse, repeat, and somewhere along the line, pretend you’ve won the argument without ever making one.
 So let’s save time: every time you dodge, I’ll dodge right back in your threads. That’s the deal.

1. Based on your track record, I expect to see Step 4 deployed before lunch.

So here’s a fair question—one that, of course, you won’t answer, but I’ll ask it anyway because unlike you, I don’t fear actual engagement:If the EU offered a zero-tariff deal, and Trump were to accept it (which would eliminate tariff-based revenue), what alternative revenue mechanisms would you expect his administration to realistically pursue—and do you think they’d actually succeed in passing them through Congress?
