@gamerfoo987@BtcBlackthorne@RedLineReportt If the actions violate federal law, then they should be held accountable just as you or I would be. The same with that agents that are being to aggressive and using unnecessary force. Nobody is exempt from the law.
@BtcBlackthorne@RedLineReportt A mayor, governor, or any elected official isn’t above the law. If they violate federal law, they should be tried the same as you or I would be for that offense.
Agents being to aggressive should also be reviewed and prosecuted as appropriate. They aren’t exempt either.
@sapugh@WHLeavitt Either way, reviewing validity of each tariff would be proper. Some I don’t think are justifiable while others are absolutely in line.
@sapugh@WHLeavitt Fair point. Which doesn’t make sense to me that they went with that one. IEEPA is for use during a national emergency. I don’t know why they didn’t cite the trade act of ‘74 which reads as more applicable. And still effective legislation. 🤷♂️
@1VoodooKitty1@acnewsitics No, prices where I live are 50 cents lower than a year ago. With your tank size and fill times, I would be saving $6 per week from one year ago.
@RaymondRid71386@EdenNohraMD@WHLeavitt Fair point. Which was why they authorized presidential use in the trade acts. He can move and react quicker and then Congress can either keep it or veto it. Tariffs are a double edged sword on every level any way they get implemented.
@cenkuygur They should have done it for the best interests of the people. Yes, Heathcare affordability is important, but so is having a functioning government. ACA sadly isn’t doing what they promised and needs replaced or rewritten entirely.
@RaymondRid71386@EdenNohraMD@WHLeavitt Yup, though I personally believe he’s within the authority under that, I also feel each one should be reviewed separately for validity. Some absolutely fit, while others feel like overkill. Congress can also just no vote and remove tariffs they disagree with. 🤷♂️
@NancyS64343 @_VIRU5_ @WHLeavitt False. Trade act of 1974 section 302. Or the Trade Act of 1962, or the IEEPA. Congress gave the President limited authority to Tariff.
@CactusCuddler17 @_VIRU5_ @WHLeavitt Trade Act of 1974, sections 122 and 302. Congress already gave the executive branch tariff authority under their constitutional statute. There’s also authority under the Act of 1962 and the IEEPA.
@sapugh@WHLeavitt Just ignore the Trade Acts of 1962 (section 232) and 1974 (section 302, and 122) right? Where Congress authorized use of tariffs by the President. There’s also the IEEPA.
@ewarren Weren’t the expiring subsidies the ones that made households making up to 4x the poverty level eligible for government assistance? Isn’t that like 100k or something like that?
