Never mind tariffs and tantrums, libs are rooting for a recession in the economy, but for now it means new highs for stocks.
That's ridiculous, no one wants a recession. Our economy is improving because our Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell (who Trump wanted to fire but doesn't have the power to do so), is doing an amazing job, despite all the screwups our clueless president is making. When Trump is done with the agonizing next 3.5 years of his term, our country will likely never be able to recover from the trillions of dollars in debt he's piling on as he pillages and loots from the middle class and spirals the borderline classes into poverty and destitution. Ripping healthcare away from struggling elderly people and mothers with young children--yeah, what a great guy.

Has anyone ever studied the consistent utilization rates? How many people, exactly, are affected? And how many people are consistently doing little things that cost nothing except time but boost health and well-being? If anyone could still get grants, they might quantify and qualify the real relationship between funded services and need for those funded services...
From the trenches: here, in poverty land, it is possible to manage health concerns despite cuts in funding. Should I now get a gazillion dollar grant to study myself and others so as to identify why I can do this while others cannot do this... Or, not...

yep, zero sum game, just like football, one side wins, so the other side must then lose.

Shop-et-al, I may be misunderstanding your post, but the Bipartisan Policy Center (think tank)
has this to say about US immigration policy:
"At a time when soaring national debt threatens economic prosperity, it is important to understand how immigration impacts federal spending and revenues and economic growth.
All immigrants who work in the United States—legally or illegally—impact our national budget outlook, but those impacts differ based on immigration status and other factors. While immigration increases some federal spending, most immigrants are net contributors to the national balance sheet because they pay more in taxes than they claim in benefits:"
In a nutshell, the article goes on to say we won't be able to pay off debt or grow as a nation until we either increase population growth (and we know families are getting smaller) or growth through immigration.
I will repeat myself - maybe we should look at whether US immigration policy is the problem before we start rounding up brown skinned people like cattle and separating families.

...still WINNING!
Brings to mind when US soldiers back in the 1800s waited until the men were out on hunting parties before attacking Native American villages with nothing but women, children, and elderly men. They raped the women and slaughtered all or nearly all of these people and called it a win.
genocide disguised as manifest destiny.....very ugly
Illegal aliens must be deported. No due process coming in, no due process going out.
Of course, if YOU believe illegal is okay, then maybe we should allow unlicensed "doctors" to perform medical services on YOUR body. Or unlicensed lawyers represent YOU in a court of law.
Maybe UNELECTED officials should act on behalf of YOUR country's leadership...oh, wait...we had this the last four years with a leader who wasn't mentally fit for duty and a staff operating the "Auto-Pen."
No, illegal aliens must be deported and, back on topic, tariffs shall be negotiated.

Another story in the news where tariffs are mentioned...

Ah, but it's not tariffs that are the issue. It's not red-tape either. It's California BLUE-tape that makes it unprofitable to stay in the state's capital. So the company is forced to consolidate it's operations.

At about 22 minutes into this Shipping video you can see the impact of tariffs on shipping; unvarnished information, both good and bad.

@barefoot: not sure which post you have referenced when you mentioned me. Will add here that it might be questionable to glorify or mandate family intactness, as if that were absolutely and always an appropriate outcome. Yes, yet another controversial pov from me. But we can handle it...
