About tariffs, that money is paid by Americans. It is American importers who pay the tariffs, not the exporters you target, and many of those American importers pass along the costs to U.S. consumers.

Exactly,Importers,And i would guess,that exporters and importers will have to cut their, CEO and Upper level Management.And the Middle level Management yearly cost back down and give it to to the people who do the work. Most all of them are family hires any way,..Without merit and that's a good thing, right ? Or are you for Nepotism? That now encompasses our entire American Democracy.

To the point that,Our Nepotism would infect all the other countries,families of wealth and power, politicians and their families would not hesitate to create,The New World Order. Well, I don't have college education, But i do have Eyes and Ears, and common sense, and something else that seems to be lacking in our American version of Democracy.Morals,honesty,integrity,respect,respons ibility,and kindness. I reckon there will be ?'s

You sound bitter. I know it is shocking that the guy is heading back to the White House but don't despair, it's only four years. It will give you a chance to learn some new buzzwords. MAGAts, Trumptanic II, MAGA Kool-Aid? Come on now, you can do better than that. What will actually happen is not certain but one thing is. We know who will be President come January. Maybe somebody will gin up another Russia collusion hoax to keep you interested like the last time. I agree with les green01. It will be entertaining. I hope you enjoy it.

Meanwhile the Biden administration is busy selling border all materials purchased during Trump's first administration. We all know full well Trump will immediately begin a continuance of wall at the border. Not only does this slow wall building, the material that needs to be purchased will cost much more than it did originally. This is our government folks. Just idiots.

Looks like the Republicans are infighting so hard they will shut the government down, and although they still have a majority in the house, they will try to spin this as the fault of the Democrats.

You elected Trump and got Musk instead. Enjoy.

It is another **** bill full of pork from both sides. And no, many republicans are fighting for their pork pet projects. Government shutdown. A statement that was born and bred during Obama. A statement that needs to go away. The government does not shut down. Life goes on. Are some federal employees affected? In the short term yes. Other than that, the government does anything but shut down.

If a spending bill is crap and loaded with pork for pet projects then rewrite the bill. Even the common Joe can tell you that. Musk is not needed.

It's a CR that changes nothing for three months. The Republicans do not have a budget yet.

The failed Biden administration needs to go. The last minute nonsense and signing a bill "So we can all go home for the holidays, fellas" is over. If the voting public wants accountability and the government reigned in there will be hard decisions coming. We see the current election results this is what the voters want. The entire country will live with a non-passage for this bill. Cut the pork. Stop the status-quo and this is how we always have done it mentality. It does not work.

The Trump administration isn't even started yet and it is failing already. Trump has already gone back on his stump promises and will hurt the very people that elected him while pumping up the oligarchs.

I expect he will be a lame duck by the midterms.

I'll take it because the alternative would have been much much worse.

You expected Trump to loose the last election. You expected him to be in jail by now. I expect that you might want to reexamine your expectations if you don't want to keep being disappointed.

The result of the election indicate for me that the American voters has sent a message: We want a change away from the Dems politics.

You could also ask yourself why did Trump win so massive ?
It must tell us something.
