A trade war is only going to eat into the meat and bone...

This is thinly disguised protectionism of Trump with looney supply-side theories going by another name

has been tried four times in my lifetime so far. Less we forget the Nixon recession and the massive Interest rates of the 70's,less we forget the Reagan Recession,less we forget HW Bush recession,less we forget Georgie Bush's recession.

Gary Cohn is just doing Wall Streets water carrying. Looks like I see number five shortly.

Since Bernie has long been an opponent of NAFTA and TPP and a proponent of tariffs on steel imports?

Perhaps they are hedging against a likely recession as 2020 approaches when Bernie is the Democratic nominee.

Why come here looking for a fight?

...offer mild opposition to Trump. Of course, they do not stop him. They just blame Bernie and Democrats for Trump’s trade policy.

As for mentioning Bernie, trade was Bernie’s signature issue before Trump started stealing his rhetoric. It is sort of like how you can’t discuss POWs and torture without discussing McCain.

This is what the GOP excels at. Run up the debt, raid the treasury to dole out money to their benefactors, and then crash the economy. In comes Democrats who have to clean up the GOP mess which sometimes doubly hurts the consumers because of belt-tightening (but not by the purveyors or recipients of the raid)... After which the consumers get fed more GOP propaganda and blindly put the GOP back in power once the economy is back humming again.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

and multi-national corporations?

...and interest rates. That is what will put the breaks on the economy when people stop buying houses.

But Turd's Trade Wars will hurt all of us.

1. Pass a tax plan for the rich but convince the middle class it's to their advantage.

2. Get into a tariff war for no reason at all, the effects of which are to not only wipe out whatever tax benefits the middle class got from #1 and convince them that it's Canada's fault.
