    Comparison of tariffs and the proposed Import Certificate policy for USA's global trade.

    JohnfromCleveland, thanks for your interest of this topic. I regret my late response to your post. We agree that a nation's annual surplus rather than deficitbalance of trade is economically preferable. As I posted, among all credible economists, (including those who are opposed to anything...

    Comparison of tariffs and the proposed Import Certificate policy for USA's global trade.

    Comparison of tariffs and the proposed Import Certificate policy for USA's global trade. Among credible economists, (including those proponents of nothing other than “pure” free trade), few if any of them contend annual trade deficits are of net benefit to their nation's or (unless such a...

    Where are all of the inflation lowering tariffs that Trump promised?

    Showtime586, people generally well perceive their own immediate best interests when they import, or export, purchase, or trade for foreign goods. Few, if any credible economists contend a nation's global trade per se, to be contrary to that nation's best interests. However, even among those...

    Tariffs,Trade Deficits, and Import Certificates

    Liberty One, among all credible economist, (certainly including free trade proponents), few if any of them would refute the contention, annual trade deficits are detrimental to their nation's numbers of jobs. Free trade proponents argue USA international trade is beneficial to our nation's...

    Tariffs,Trade Deficits, and Import Certificates

    LibertyOne, your contending USA's chronic annual trade deficits not being themselves “inherently harmful” to our economy is ncorrect. Their greatest and much of it direct harm, is to our nation's numbers of jobs. Unless a trade deficit nation ha effectively “full-employment”, their negative...

    Stealers Wheel, there's no reason why a judge couldn't choose a sentencing date in my proposed manner. Judges choose dates on their court calendar for many reasons. There'd may be no reason for anyone to complain, but regardless of the date chosen, someone may be displeased with the judge's...

    BTthe great, Stealers Wheel, Ginger ale, Gbg3, Helix, and Modern Diogenes, Hitler was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment, and he was released within less than 9 months. My point is Hitler politically benefited from his imprisonment. I prefer that Donald Trump not improve his probability of being...

    Stealers Wheel, how did you interpret my post backwards? The presiding judge's intention on the 11th of July, to pronounce sentence on Trump will be somewhat to Trump's advantage. That may be a deciding factor that could consequently again elect Trump to be President of the United States. If he...

    NY State's politically selective prosecution of Trump?

    JMR, that's not absolutely true; presidents or ex-presidents of the United States aren"t entitled to some absolute and/or extraordinary legal immunity, nor should they be legally denied the rights common to all other U.S. citizens. Respectfully, Supposn

    NY State's politically selective prosecution of Trump?

    JMR, I'm not limiting the search for precedents to indicted presidential nominees or candidates. But even presidential candidates are no less entitled to their legal rights. The NY State indictment for this case against Donald Trump was for 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal...

    NY State's politically selective prosecution of Trump?

    I again ask if any readers of this thread can cite cases within the last decades, of conviction for causing fraudulent business records to enable a more favorable loan to enable obtaining money to pay for a non-disclosure agreement, to conceal accusations from being heard or read by voters, to...
