I asked first. You haven't given an answer. All you do is run and make excuses.

"But...but...but...November 2022. " Then I reply with " I gave you my definition in my examples and you refused to read it." Etc....etc,..etc...blah blah blah...and on and on....

Broken record.

But I didn't refuse to read it.

I did so and promptly savaged it.

What I didn't read were your excuses for not understanding "net".

You admitted to not reading it.

You did no such thing...you deflected incessantly to net and gross jobs. 

You just did it again....and you will continue to do so.

An Update About CBO's Projections of the Budgetary Effects of TariffsPosted by Phill Swagel on August 22, 2025

We estimate that the changes in tariffs, both by the United States and its trading partners, will reduce the size of the U.S. economy. That reduction in output reflects both negative and positive effects: the negative effects of higher tariffs through channels such as reduced investment and productivity, and the positive effects of additional revenues from tariffs on U.S. imports, which would reduce federal borrowing and increase the funds available for private investment.

 The increases in tariffs will make consumer goods and capital goods (the physical assets that businesses use to produce goods and services) more expensive, which will reduce the purchasing power of U.S. consumers and businesses. Those increases in costs will put temporary upward pressure on inflation.

The most accurate predictions in the world are virtually worthless right now, and you're obviously too dumb to understand that.

Do YOU know what the final tariff and the final devaluation of the Yuan is going to be when China finally makes a trade deal with Trump?  No?
Well, then how about the remaining 50 or more countries that Trump will still be adding tariffs to.  Do you have any idea what the tariff amount will be, on which products it will be placed on, or how any of those countries will react to either absorb or pay the tariff or retaliate with an attempt to add reciprocal tariffs on the US?
No?
How about the number of new jobs that will be needed to man the businesses that are either relocating here or transferring the manufacturing of some of their products to be made in the US instead of China, India, or Europe?  Any idea how much THAT will add to the US economy?  No?
Well, surely then you must know how many jobs will be taken by American citizens as Trump deports tens of thousands of illegals who are currently holding jobs and getting paid in cash from unscrupulous employers, don't you?  Also no?
Then what about the windfall of the rebate Trump has spoken about providing to the country, or the affect that lower gas prices or the reduction of interest rates that are sure to change over the next few months?  Still "no", huh?
Think maybe the next budget that will be worked on shortly will contain tens or even hundreds of billions worth of new spending cuts that might drastically affect the economy?  You don't have a clue there either, do you Eggplant?

But you stupidly think that ANY projection of our economy is worth the paper is printed on now, simply because you're dumb enough to think phony stories like this one you posted are going to hurt Trump, when his approval rating has been steadily improving lately, don't you?

Keep trying, blockhead!  Your efforts have already done such good for your crumbling party so far, haven't they?

Can you figure out why you aren't paying $1.87  for gas?

God man. Two **** questions in one post. You just can't stop hiding. 

You run from questions, but demand answers. 


1. Post the rule....

I know NOTHING about how those variables will be resolved.  Neither do you, or any other idiot who is dumb enough to believe that it's possible to make any accurate projections about where the economy is headed WITHOUT knowing how those things will all shake out.

The difference is that I KNOW that I know nothing!  
You PRETEND to know based on some worthless projection that you only HOPE will happen because none of those variables that Trump will be addressing are included in any projection worth it's salt.  Otherwise, you wouldn't even bother to READ that story, let alone post it as if it were some sage advice that means something, simply because you get an erection over ANY story that paints a bleak picture of the current state of the nation under the current Trump administration.
That's one of the symptoms of the insane malignancy that your TDS does for you!

Yeah, I can't wade through all that ****. Make your case.

YOU are against the tariffs.
ORBAN is against the tariffs.
But somehow, you're right and Orban is wrong?

Orban's "crime" against the system is that he defends the sovereignty of the nation-state. That's it. And I side with Orban on that. 

What is YOUR problem with Orban - in your own words?

Edit - I clicked the Brazil link. Looks like you're getting all born again on those tariffs. Looks like you're siding with Trump - because the Bolsonaro argument is HIS, and you're linking to it to defend your argument (being generous).

What in the post to which I respond here sustains your OP or your thread title? You SEEM to be hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself.

@Blackvegetable  you ever gonna address your schizophrenia? Why is Orban bad for being against these tariffs?

The Prius runs on gas, idiot. It has an internal combustion engine.

I'm sorry, sir, but I do not comport with *** - not even their pups. 

The closest I ever come to *** is a giant jar with a pickled foot in it, which sits on my mantel.

My great grea great grand daddy cut it off of Kunta Kinte - for his own good, to get his mind right. 

It's an heirloom from better days.

From Denver to Brazil, nothing bothers Off-Brand Orbán more than an enemy of democracy facing consequences for their crimes.

Get back to me.
