Humble Servant News on X Business Opinion: The Tariff Skeptic The tariff haters strut around like they’ve cracked America’s economic code, but they’re the dimwitted masterminds of its downfall—ignorant, smug, and downright traitorous. They whimper about tariffs hiking prices for avocados and earbuds, sipping their soy lattes, while America’s industrial soul gets torched on their watch. They’re not skeptics—they’re gutless accomplices, and the trade deficits with China and the EU, plus the IP theft hemorrhage, prove they’ve sold us out for pennies. Let’s shred their garbage with facts. The U.S. trade deficit hit $948 billion in 2024—a suppurating wound bleeding jobs and innovation—while these government drones and corporate puppets bleat "free trade" like lobotomized cultists.

The EU’s just as ruthless: a $235.6 billion goo...

Humble Servant News on X: Business Opinion Reciprocal Tariffs: Leveling the Playing Field for the USA The concept of reciprocal tariffs is straightforward: it’s about making trade fair. For too long, other countries have slapped high tariffs on American goods while we’ve let their products flood our markets with little or no charge. It’s been an uneven game, and reciprocal tariffs fix that by matching their rates. If they charge us 20% to sell there, we charge them 20% to sell here. If they drop their tariffs, we drop ours. Add in the incentive to build here and skip tariffs entirely, and it’s a recipe for a stronger America. Here’s how this benefits the USA, based on current trends as of March 16, 2025, with a focus on job creation, consumer prices, and the upside. More Money Stays in America Matching tariffs means foreign goods cost more here, encouraging people to buy American-made products. Every dollar spent on U.S. goods keeps cash circulating in our economy—paying workers, suppo...
