The economic can has been kicked down the road for 50 years. If you continue on the current path, we'll go bankrupt shortly. I believe the tariffs are a way to try to course correct.
No. You can't "course correct" something that took 50 years to build up in a matter of weeks. US can't build up necessary manufacturing capacity in such a short time, and much Chinese stuff would be required even to build that up. Way to do it would be 1-2% per year and make backroom deals with the Chinese (not insult them publicly).
There's no correcting nearly 40 trillion in debt and 130+ trillion in unfunded liabilities.
Usually when economies are far too gone they hit the reset button with a war, the currency hyperinflates, and they replace it. In this case, they'll be replacing it with the digital currency tied to social credit, and UBI will be there to replace the lost jobs and also as another control mechanism.
This is being done by design, both the setup for the collapse and now the impending collapse itself.
It old you all in early 2024 that Trump had already been pre-selected and part of his mission will be to collapse the economy (and get blamed for it) ... except I do believe now that they're going to launch a fαℓѕє fℓαg terror attack just when the economy's at the brink so Trump can credibly blame the collapse on that and not lose support from the mindless Trumptards who think these tariffs are a great idea (because they worship the Orange god).
Agent Orange has always been a Deep State / Globalist operator ... despite the denials of those of you who shilled for Trump during the election.
And the US will now be punished for electing this degenerate aider / abettor of genocide.
