Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!

Today President Trump imposed a 10% tariff on imported aluminum and 25% tariff on imported steel effective 14 days from now. Canada and Mexico are indefinitely excluded from these tariffs mostly due to the high level complexities of cross border trade.

At this point is is hard to say what impact these tariffs will have on the USA copier/printer industry but you have to suspect increased costs. Probably not right away but as inventories are re-stocked in the next few months, manufacturers can either absorb the costs or pass them along.

It seems the details on exactly what products are effected remain sketchy. Are we talking about steel and aluminum in raw blanks or finished products?

I do not think that there are any copier/printers manufactured in the USA. Most copier/ printers are manufactured in China or the Orient, close to the component suppliers.

Maybe Xerox still re-manufactures some copiers in Mexico but I am sure all 100% new Xerox copiers come from China.

Fortunately, most new copier/printers in 2018 contain significantly less metal than they use to.

I am from Canada and hope the much smaller Canadian copier/printer industry can avoid this whole issue.

Toshiba Canada imports product directly from China into Vancouver in shipping containers that are sent via rail across the country into a Toronto warehouse, theoretically avoiding USA tariffs.

I do know that some Canadian copier manufacturers mostly restock their inventory from USA warehouses.

Guess Who pay's the Tariff's YUP WE DO in Higher prices. So much for the tax middle class scam. The really smart company's like Trump International will figure a shipping route to avoid paying them anyway. Just another BAD move by our Russian President.

The Interior Department is spending nearly $139,000 to upgrade three sets of double doors in the office of Secretary Ryan Zinke.


Zinke was not aware of the contract for the work prior to a request about it from The Associated Press, spokeswoman Heather Swift said. The project was planned by career facilities and security officials as part of the decade-long modernization of the historic building erected in 1938 a few blocks from the White House, she said.

You know, most of the time, I just ignore your posts. There's so much rhetoric, it's obvious you don't think about these things very much. Cutting and pasting has been your tactic. But then you post this. And I'm sure that it's something you've heard on CNN or MSNBC. But this really intrigues me. I'm wondering why you think this, but would deny that tax cuts would trickle down to lower prices?

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!

I was eating breakfast with my ten-year old granddaughter
and I asked her, "What day is tomorrow?"


Without skipping a beat she said, "It's President's Day."


She's a pretty bright kid, so I asked her,
"What does President's Day mean?"


I was waiting for something about Obama, Trump, Bush
or maybe Clinton, but after a few seconds she replied,
"It's when the president comes out of the White House,
and if he sees his shadow, we have another year of bullshit."


You know, it kinda hurts when hot coffee spurts out of your nose.

Putting a tariff on imports of steel and aluminum is not likely to stop those imports, so the importing company will have to raise prices to compensate. Thus, the company purchasing this steel or aluminum will have to pay more for the steel or aluminum. So, the company purchasing the more expensive steel or aluminum will have to increase their prices on the product they manufacture, and that means higher prices when you go to buy those products. Pretty simple.
There is no actual proof that trickle down economics works for the little guy. It definitely works for the big guy.

yup the " russian president Trump" was mention several times this past week on MSNPMSBC! The fact that they don't like the tax cuts ( even tho they haven't READ the bills ) proves that they don't listen to CBO - COA or even people likes Forbes.
They are driven by the MSM talking points that REALLY aren't FACTUAL but rather an emotional to the situation. They don't CARE to learn the truth ...and run away screaming like a lil bitch when they are TOLD the truth.

But for those outside of the USA they are used to the Socialistic societies and feel that is the proper way ( to take from you and to give to others.) to run a country... sorry but capitalism HAS been proven for at least a century to be a valid working model.

Glad to see you recognize the Russian President.

Buffett says $29 billion tax cut windfall boosts Berkshire Hathaway. Has help you lower cost with WHAT! Cable bill reduced NOPE. Gas prices down NOPE, Insurance prices down NOPE, Healthcare prices down NOPE, Food prices down NOPE, it's not trickle down It's TRICKLE ON.

US budget deficit jumped to $215.2 billion in February

The federal government recorded a budget deficit of $215.2 billion in February, up significantly from a year ago as the impact of the GOP tax cuts passed in December begin to surface.


The Treasury Department said Monday that the February deficit was 12.1 percent higher than a year ago, reflecting in part a drop of $5 billion in individual withholding taxes paid last month compared to a year ago. In February, employers started using tax tables that withheld less from paychecks based on the new law.


For the first five months of this budget year, the deficit totals $391 billion, an increase of 11.5 percent from the same period a year ago. President Donald Trump's new budget projects this year's deficit will hit $873 billion, up a sharp 31.3 percent from last year's imbalance of $665.8 billion.


Over the next decade, Trump's budget projects deficits will total $7.1 trillion. That is more than double the $3.2 trillion in deficits over the coming decade that Trump had envisioned in the budget he sent Congress last year. The deficit picture has darkened in part because of the $1.5 trillion in tax cuts Trump pushed through Congress in December.
