Steve Madden, CEO of Madden Shoes, a 2.3 billion dollar company, announced that they will be moving operations out of China due to approaching new tariffs. Tariffs will either increase the cost to US citizens of goods coming out of China or force companies to relocate. This could be useful in moving factories to the USA, creating new jobs, and reinvigorating our economy. Unfortunately, he has announced that they will be relocating from China to either Lao, Thailand, Cambodia, or Vietnam, which will not help the USA in any way. Will this be the pattern in the near future? Companies aren't interested in MingAGA, they are only interested in profits.

A yellow star?

If asked, I just say that I'm from the States. If they ask more, I mention my home state of Alabama. I think some then just assume that I'm MAGA. I am not a fan of Trump. I've met 1 new person in the last 2 years. He is an ex-cop and a Trump fan. We get along great, with several common interests OUTSIDE of politics and a genuine curiosity about each other's habits and doings. He's a super nice guy and we just agreed to not debate politics. Same with one of my many brothers.

In your case, it's apparently special education.

"Narrowing" and "benefit(ing) fewer people" is backtracking. I stand by the original title. "Mr. Paulson, a potential nominee for Treasury secretary, said that several other of Mr. Trump’s proposed tax cuts — including not taxing tips or overtime, and restoring a deduction for state and local taxes — should also become narrower so they benefit fewer people and cost less money."

Hence the walking back of his promises, i.e Repubs saying "We can't afford it". They could only afford the promise. So this retreat is only 3 days post-election. Watch this space to see what else their dear leader promised that won't happen.

And Republicans are already saying they need to cutback on his promises. Some Republicans said the party would have to show some fiscal discipline. “We can’t just have it be unlimited, whatever we want to it to be,” Senator James Lankford, a Republican of Oklahoma and member of the Finance Committee, said of the cost of a tax bill next year. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/07/us/politics/trump-fiscal-republicans.html?unlocked_article_code=1.YU4.u8S5.kwMAMdOXZyzK&smid=url-share

Thanks, ES. They don't want to read it. Facts violate their universe.

Continue in your blissful ignorance and keep deflecting. What does Pravda have to do with NYT?

All of you should read the actual article. The NYT gives non-subscribers 10 free reads/month.

See you still haven't read the article. They quote Republicans. Are you claiming these Republicans didn't say what you didn't read? 🙂

I originally posted much more, but that violates Forum rules, so only included relevant bits. The extended headline is Advisers to President-elect Donald J. Trump and Republicans on Capitol Hill are already looking at ways to scale back some of his more expensive ideas.

You'd have to read the article. I just posted some allowed highlights. Behind a paywall, so you may not be able to read the full article.

It also doesn't say Daffy Duck is walking back his promises. What's your point?

That didn't take long. Regarding no tax on tips, lower corporate taxes, no tax on Social Security benefits. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/07/us/politics/trump-fiscal-republicans.html Trump Agenda Faces a Fiscal Reckoning The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that just continuing all of the expiring provisions would cost roughly $4 trillion over a decade, and Mr. Trump’s campaign proposals could add trillions more to the debt. Markets and investors are preparing for higher deficits under a second Trump administration, selling bonds that could become less valuable if the government has to issue many more to finance a larger debt. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget has estimated that Mr. Trump’s agenda, including higher tariffs, could add roughly $7.5 trillion to the debt over the next decade.

Penn & Teller's 12 Mexican Generals Plan: 12 Mexican generals are each assigned a section of the border. At the end of a year, each gets 100 million USD, minus $10000 for each illegal that they prevent from crossing. Fixed in 1 week.

Solly, cannot attend. Time machine bloken.

Odd Job would be well-suited to be a "security guard" on Soi 6.

Not until January. 🙂

Reorganize? Into what? Not a solution. Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I guess hers wasn't one of the 90% successful prosecutions this year by the RTP. I wonder if it counts against their record of success if they don't even bother trying.

Doubt it, but hope the hatred on both sides will stop now. This is definitely a new beginning. Beginning of what, we will see. Let's hope the economy remains strong. It is great that all of those agricultural, chicken factory, slaughterhouse, and day labor jobs are returned to Amerikans. Good luck Ukraine, Palestine, Philippines, Taiwan, EU, UK and NATO. Looking forward to a huge cut in the deficit.

Nope

Problem with the website. I highlight something, quote it and the site attributes it to you. I noticed that also and don't know why it's happening.
