I am royally ticked off that I have to agree w Rand Paul on ANYTHING. Sighs...
KARL: Is a trade deficit subsidizing Canada?
RAND PAUL: No. They're really not related at all. What happens if we trade with another country because they have less expensive goods is we become richer. You also have more money you can spend.

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works.
America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused.

Trying to order Cottage Cheese & milk today. Costco is out of CC (both Daisy and Good) Kroger has CC, but much more expensive. I spend too much time just trying to keep my perishable foods stocked at a manageable price.
Now we'll have tariffs to deal with - that are taxes on American citizens. FT

Trump's tariffs on Canada and Mexico will drive up prices on everything from fresh vegetables to heating oil to the car you drive. And Michigan will be one of the hardest-hit states.
