@Hamasnik2@Bmobmo64@PamphletsY OK. So, you think that Crimea isn't being used by Russia at all, that there was never an invasion of Crimea, and that it's totally still Ukranian?
You don't believe that Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022?
And finally, you don't believe that Russia declared any annexation?
@derpman76148@ChrisRo22367623@HistoryIsOver I don't see how you can replace the revenue from income taxes with tariffs. It makes literally 0 sense from a mathematical perspective.
@derpman76148@ChrisRo22367623@HistoryIsOver No, you didn't. We spend hundreds of billions on a nonsense war, that's hitting us on oil and gas. We're spending trillions on the long run with the big beautiful bill. Your guy just sued himself as civilian and president, settled with himself, and set up a $1.2 B slush fund.
@derpman76148@ChrisRo22367623@HistoryIsOver Notice how you haven't answered?
A trillion is a thousand billions. A billion is a thousand millions.
You just advocated for cutting trillions of dollars, to be saved by cutting millions of dollars.
You're off by a few factors of magnitude, Mr mathematics.
@derpman76148@ChrisRo22367623@HistoryIsOver I like how you can't win on any numerical arguments as a mathematics major, so you devolve into this cringe bullshit.
Tariffs can't replace tax. You guys deficit spend like crazy. You can't engage with numbers or reality.
@derpman76148@ChrisRo22367623@HistoryIsOver You're a math major, you said.
In the skein of trillions of dollars in debt, what's the reduction of a few hundred million? How many USAIDs would we need to cut to go budget neutral?
@derpman76148@ChrisRo22367623@HistoryIsOver When Republicans deficit spend on all sorts of stupid bullshit - it's the fault of fiat currency and departing the gold standard.
When democrsts deficit spend it's tyranny, selling our children into slavery, incompetence, etc.
You guys are so fucking stupid. It's unreal.
@derpman76148@ChrisRo22367623@HistoryIsOver So what do we cut? Military? Social security? Farmer subsidies? Oil subsidies?
And you do realize that cutting revenue when Donald Trump is deficit spending like fucking crazy isn't a good idea?
@derpman76148@ChrisRo22367623@HistoryIsOver Do you not understand you just said you love running up the deficit?
Government debt is compounded by expanding the deficit which is made worse by either spending more, or taking in less revenue.
And replacing income tax with tariffs would be absolutely taking in far less rev.
@derpman76148@ChrisRo22367623@HistoryIsOver The funny thing is that you guys whine about the deficit the very second a republican isn't in office, anymore. But you have no problem running the deficit sky high. 'making a dent' isn't the goal. It's just more government spending, endlessly.
@derpman76148@ChrisRo22367623@HistoryIsOver This isnt quite accurate. It's a tax that we pay.
A tariff is an import tax. It increases the prices of a set of commodities or foreign business. It increases the price locally for foreign goods, providing a competetive advantage for goods made locally.
