It amazes me that Republicans can be supportive of what is a blatant tax grab by the federal government. Trump is basically saying "I'm going to add a federal sales tax on top of the majority of everything you buy to the tune of 25% or more. With China, a lot of that is manufactured consumer goods. But with Canada and Mexico, we're talking food products, automobiles, natural resources needed by American industries, etc.
I would guess your amazement is because GOP are understood to be in favor of small government, when actually they are favor of doing w/e the fuck they feel like to enrich themselves because their voter base is so fucking stupid they would vote for a rock if you said it would be thrown through a liberals window once elected.
My biggest concern is what will happen when the party that runs on christian nationalism and prejudice (redundant), that has majority control of the entire government, and is flush with tax revenue, is going to accomplish over the next 2-4 years...
Somehow he'll still have a deficit.
The plan is to have a disturbing deficit, and interest payments are getting really big now.
This is like climate change, it's not apparently hurting anyone tomorrow so... no one cares anymore.
Pro Tip: If you have any large purchases to make in your life, now is the time.
Also, probably buy a gun because there's about to be a lot more desperate people out there.
