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
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?
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.
