    Not always. I was a swing-trader during the 1990's and early 2000's. If one discovers an inefficiency in the market then there is money to be made. The inefficiency that I traded on (~70% return per year) came to be called "stale pricing" on foreign based mutual funds, mostly Japanese...

    Uhh? ... and how does that relate to "Free Traders Case For Tariffs"? All I saw in your post was, once again, your negative opinions but no facts in support. Opinions are not facts.

    The article has no facts related to the thread's topic. A poster steered this budget plan into the discussion. Let's stay on topic. Got anything else (facts) to add?

    Free Traders Case For Tariffs

    Do I understand the gist of your arguments? "We've never tried blanket tariffs by country, so we know that can't work"? And (against Einstein's insight), targeted tariffs don't work so let just keep trying them hoping for different outcome"? Or "Let's just keep on kicking the can down the...

    The article has one fact, which I cited. But ignoring that fact, you want to cite, contrary to that fact, the fearmongering embedded in the conditional and subjunctive mode claims. Shame, shame.

    The tariffs are not vague. They ae quite specific as to country and percentages. Targeted tariffs can work for particular problems, ie., dumping. General vague tariff can be, and apparently are quite effective, in bringing unfair trading partners to the negotiating table. Without those...

    Only vague to those who do not, or will not , understand. OK. So, you don't have a plan. Show us the previous administration's "white paper" on managing those unsustainable trade deficits. "Rhetorical" tactics"? Nah, you simply don't have anything constructive to add to this thread. If you...

    Nope. The program out of DoE is based on grant applications and is not an entitlement. The grants are not considered as a "social safety net". https://poverty.ucdavis.edu/article/war-poverty-and-todays-safety-net-0 Nope. Too much Kool-Aid possibly served by Bernie and ... what's-her-name...

    Do read the posts again. I wrote that the analogy was ridiculous from the get-go. Glad you now agree with me. Then use them. "Just a party platform"? Your effort to negatively rephrase the content just doesn't pass muster. Still waiting for your policies to address the twin deficits. Got...

    Free Traders Case For Tariffs

    Nope. The DoE is not a social safety net. Pls try again. Really? In as much as we presently do not have a free market capitalistic state but rather a welfare state via federal transfer payments, how will returning to the 1800's system solve the deficits w/o hurting the sick, poor, or...

    Eucharist Elements

    I favor combining the reflections of John Chrysostom, St. Augustine and, soon to be Blessed, Archbishop Fulton Sheen. At Eucharist, we experience a moment in eternity: Christ's sacrifice, once and for all, is made present. In reflecting on the Cana miracle, Chrysostom and Augustine note that in...

    Citations supporting your erroneous opinion that the government is "cutting social safety nets". Translation: "You don't have an alternate plan to address either deficit." Why? Because you're apparently not either a businessman or an economist.

    Free Traders Case For Tariffs

    Every taxpayer got a tax cut. Yes, and the administration's policies are designed to reverse our consumptive behavior back to being the productive behavior that made the US a great nation. I don't know if they will succeed but it's a start. No politician in the last 40 years has campaigned on...
