We are not in a trade war with China, that war was lost many years ago by the foolish, or incompetent, people who represented the U.S. Now we have a Trade Deficit of $500 Billion a year, with Intellectual Property Theft of another $300 Billion. We cannot let this continue!

China strikes back with tariffs targeting $50B in US goods

"Beijing announced a plan Wednesday to implement 25 percent tariffs on imports of U.S. soybeans, airplanes, and automobiles in a package that totals about $50 billion of U.S. goods.

The Post reports that South Korea's main stock exchange slid more than 1 percent on the news, while European markets also opened lower as a result of the announcement.

The announcement comes just a day after the White House announced a similar $50 billion tariff package targeting China over what it says are unfair trade practices, with 25 percent tariffs being leveled on imports of Chinese electronics, shoes, furniture, and other goods."

Hey, let’s just throw taxpayer money at them to make them feel better, just like the farmers. Right? Right? Anyone?

Fossil fuel interests seem to pretty much own our country. They would not stand for such a good idea.

Nope, not a trade war at all.

Oh look. Some sort of non comprehensive trade blah blah with China where super tough turn a blind eye Trump will back down on tariffs in a couple weeks.
