So a family of 4 from Europe needs to pony up to 60k just to see the Grand Canyon or gamble in Vegas? Yeah if this is true then the tourism industry in this country is cooked.

Well if that doesn't sway the Nobel Committee to give Trump a Peace Prize then I don't know what will.

Oh the irony. If they US invades someplace the US must vacate without question if we want peace. If Russia invades then well... the invaded should just surrender. Nice double standard he's got there.

Democrats have long been labeled the "Tax and Spend Party". No one ever calls the Republicans the "Don't Tax and Spend Party". Now with the debt and bond prices exploding it's time to flip the script.

You're probably right regarding Russian manufacturing capability. If these tariffs are long term then Chinese firms may be willing to take the risk to set up shop on the other side of the Amur river just to try and get the competitive advantage back.
