The tariffs they talk about are the tariffs on exports from the USA to other countries...

This isn't about just rising costs for our manufacturers -- it is then the rising cost to their consumers in other countries.

Conservatives all of a sudden don't care about welfare now?

Sure they do, but they also don't know how it will sell. Again, the forecast is just that, another if.


Of course there will be some changes in profits when changes like this happen. The thing is to look past the next quarter. That is one of the biggest problems in our society today...we are too short sighted.

Liberals are constantly go on and on about how bad corporations are and how we really need socialism .

Why is there even a stock market and corporations at all , everything should be controlled by the state like in Venezuela.
