3. Reading this monstrous bill full of grant programs begun decades ago reminds me of Reagan’s critique: the nearest thing to immortality is a government program.
Reinforces my point................ we are giving away our future generations wealth to improve other countries. We have plenty of money for infrastructure, a wall, even PBS.................... if we'd just stop giving it away.pineapplemike wrote:

The ones in Red are the ones that really piss me off
It's a race to shoot ourselves in the foot. Markets now expected to open 12% down for the year.Following the US imposition of 25% duties on China produce worth at least $50 billion including items in aerospace, information and communication technology and machinery, China has announced plans of reciprocal tariffs on $3 billion of U.S. imports.
China plans to add 15% tariffs on U.S. steel pipes, fruit, wine and other products, the Ministry of Commerce says in a statement, and also plans to add 25% tariffs on pork and recycled aluminum.
Bloomberg provides some more details on the list of goods China will be targetting...
1) fresh fruit, dried fruit and nuts
2) wine
3) denatured ethyl alcohol
4) American ginseng
5) seamless steel pipes
6) pork and pork products
7) aluminum scrap
Who knew America exports ginseng to China?
In the statement, China urged the U.S. to resolve the trade dispute via dialogue.
