Rand Paul is a total asshole and clown himself, imo. And we all know that when push comes to shove neither he nor any other Senate Republican is going to do shit to seriously stop or even slow down Trump 2.0 & Elon & DOGE. No sympathy for him at all, and his complaints at this point are worthless.

It seems pretty clear the goal here is to slow down the economy, create volatility and uncertainty in the market, and increase unemployment which would lead to lowered interest rates and a slowdown of inflation. Tariffs can off set some of the tax cuts which would then be passed on as cost to consumers, but consumers will have less capital so there will be downward pressure on commodity prices regardless of tariffs.

If you are very wealthy - this scenario gives you the opportunity to buy into lower valuations in the securities markets and real estate markets (the net result of a significant economic slowdown). You will have lower interest rates to borrow capital for your businesses and lower interest rates to leverage for further asset purchases. And you will have an easier time finding labor for your businesses.

It almost seems like this is the plan - the only argument against this being "the plan" is that it's hard to imagine Trump or anyone in his orbit having this amount of economic foresight and planning.

It seems pretty obvious this is a recipe for disaster for everyone who isn't incredibly wealthy.

I take this back. I am not sure there is anyone in the WH with enough foresight for planning.

'It's a bad idea': Kentucky governor responds to Canadian tariffs on bourbon

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear wants Canadian leaders to reconsider their retaliatory tariffs on American liquor, including the state’s signature bourbon.

I like Beshear, but good luck sir. The bourbon CEOs must be bothering him 24/7. The Ontario Liquor Commission is the second largest alcohol purchaser in the world according to some measures. I have read that 25% of bourbon sales originate from Canada.

Kentucky voters fucked around, now....

According to Governor Walz, Minnesota needs Canada's electricity.

Stupid ass trump doesn't seem to know how this works, beggs the question of who actually runs his companies since he is such a poor business man.

And one minute of googling will tell you we need their lumber as well.
But you can’t tell Trump or his jackass supporters anything, no matter how plainly obvious it is.

No, trump has taken care of the lumber needs. We're going to clear cut all of the forest in the national parks. :sick: 🤮

Jack Daniels is Tennessee whiskey, not bourbon. Think Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Pappy, Blanton's, 1792, Jim Beam, etc.

Yeah my bad. Total brain fart. And I have made the mistake repeatedly. My brain is still adjusting Greenwich Mean time. I don't adjust to time zone changes well.

I anxiously await foreign nations beginning to make their own trade deals directly with blue state governments and putting a real test to this "send it to the states" mentality in our federal court systems.

Democrats need to bring up a bill in Congress to allow each state to negotiate their own tariffs. It'd be interesting to see the Republicans scramble on that one.
