So all is well. Apparently and enigmatically so, in light of the fact that we all know how "bad" things are. Tariffs being the only danger? DM would love to raise them especially against China which is a policy in progress at the margin, but can it realistically be done with any gusto? No, not with all that Tpaper sloshing around in the hands of the Asians. They prevent us from taking advantage of the dollars relative weakness to increase exports. In spite of my numerous posts recently to the contrary you're claiming the dollar is "relatively weak"? Relative to what? The yuan? DM wants tariffs though. Above is I said he'd love to raise them. Doesn't mean he wants that! The DM admin has no clue about what they want to do. Reality is forcing them to back off from many of their initiatives. They got the political message from the hc debacle. For example, they'd love to blast offshore drilling, but they can't because doing so undermines their cap 'n tax initiative because of the drilling provision concession in the 'crat sponsored cap 'n tax bill. They think they can't introduce cap 'n tax without depression like consequences unless they admit offshore drilling.
