You really don’t understand how despised your country is in Canada. It isn’t just about Trump anymore, it’s all you Aholes who are letting him get away with it.

Tariffs on Canadian Goods
Aristides replied to NAME REMOVED's topic in Canada / United States Relations
When you get right down to it, banks created it. No one forces them to operate the way they do. -

Republicans controlled both houses from 2003 to 2007. -
Comrade Donald making China Great Again
Aristides replied to Matthew's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
China will move to fill the void Trump is creating. Why wouldn’t they? -
Tariffs on Canadian Goods

US banking regulations have always been very lax, that's why so many of them go bankrupt. -

The changes were made under Clinton but Bush had 8 years to correct them. -

Tariffs on Canadian Goods
Aristides replied to NAME REMOVED's topic in Canada / United States Relations
The last time the US had a budget surplus was under Clinton. In the last two years of his presidency. The sub prime fiasco and 2008 financial meltdown was under Bush. Obama got stuck with it. Mr. Revisionist History strikes again. -
It’s not wrong, you just can’t stand that it came from the CBC

Smoot Hawley 1930

None of it was in error. A: He points out Malaysia's experience where there were no safeguards compared to Norway which has extensive safeguards as how much money can be withdrawn and how it can be spent. How many safeguards did Trump announce with his decree? I will be his own private piggy bank to borrow, invest or spend with no Congressional oversight. How much of this slush fund do you think will be given in contracts to Trump backers and cronies?d B: You can use tariffs for revenues which will be paid by consumers, or you can use them to bring manufacturing back to the US and reduce imports. You can't do both. C; US government bonds pay over 4% interest so any investments that are made with borrowed money will have to earn a 4% return before they can make a nickel for the treasury. If they are spent, it is just like any other government expenditures that are done on borrowed money and will increase the national debt. BTW, manipulating the stock market is illegal but I don't see that bothering Trump. You just reject it because you don't like the source and claim to be objective.

Liz Cheney Embelishes Work at USAID
Aristides replied to gatomontes99's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I was never a fan of her politics but do admire the character and integrity it takes to sacrifice your political future to stand up for what she thought was right, knowing she would subject to below the belt attacks from the MAGA mob for the rest of her life. That takes the kind of guts no one else in that ass kissing bunch that calls itself the the Republican Party has. -
Trump Plan for Takeover of Canada?
Aristides replied to Dick Green's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Money was invented so you don't have to trade a chicken for a hammer. -
Actually Chang covers all those issues one at a time but as you can't be bothered to watch it, I'm not going to to waste my time explaining it.
-
He has a great understanding. It's too bad you stopped watching but I'm not surprised. As he said, how do we know how he is going to spend it, we don't know until he does. He also points to the Malaysian fund that had no oversight and a president ripped it off for billions and bankrupted it. He went to jail for 12 years. Don't let your bias against CBC cloud what you should be paying attention too. Ask yourself three simple questions. 1: How is he going to raise this money and invest it while lowering taxes at the same time? 2: How is he going to pay for it with tariffs (a consumption tax) and return manufacturing to the US at the same time? 3: How is he going to invest it and spend it at the same time? Because he is saying he is going to do all of those.

The thing about Canadian MAGA hats is they see Trump's aggression against Canada and his desire to make Canada a US state as some kind of Trudeau plot. They are incapable of taking Trump at his word because they dislike Trudeau so much.

Sovereign wealth funds explained to MAGA hats.

Norways fund is financed with profits, Trumps will be financed with debt. It’s a way to borrow and spend without approval of Congress.

Liberals narrow gap with Conservatives
Aristides replied to Radiorum's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Everyone has their own idea of what is good for country. It is just a slogan until you get specific about what it means to you. -
Liberals narrow gap with Conservatives
Aristides replied to Radiorum's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
The last time it went over four years was 1993. Canada first is a nice slogan but what does it mean? -

The constitution says five years but the law is four as you say. -
As long as they are running deficit’s it’s borrowed money.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/sovereign-wealth-funds-after-trump-signs-executive-order/story?id=118422787 His sovereign wealth fund is just a scam to borrow and spend without approval of Congress. The guy thinks like a crook in whatever he does.
