US Tariffs, Sigh!

[TarrifBoy123]

So let me ask you, who implemented the tarrifs Trump's been tweeting about? Was it him signing executive orders... Or was it USTR? Can you show me where USTR implemented them?

Section 301 hilights the process and what needs to be done in order for the tarrifs to be implemented.... Can you show me where even 1 of those steps were done?

It's like a judge walking out of his court room and slapping handcuffs on someone and ordering them to jail. The judge may issue a warrant but he can't arrest someone - he can't decide they're guilty without due process.

America is built on checks on balances, why are you guys ok with them being thrown out the window ?

What will you do when Biden 2.0 gets elected and starts issuing executive orders that anyone who wants a saying it's a national emergency, and anyone who wants sex change shall get one for free paid for with emergency funds?


3 branches of government, each have their own jobs. It's pretty simple, and that's why I'm sure the supreme Court will rule them illegal.

Your judge comparison is not even close to the same. You are grasping at straws.

This is a delegation structure: Congress gave the power to the USTR, but the USTR operates under Presidential direction.

Trump and congress are going to get rid of the filibuster and repair the USA making America great again.

Some people eats unhealthy food, some people smoke or drink too much alcohol, others riding motorcycles or doing risky sports, others have pre-existing conditions which others don‘t have … how much people choose their lifestyle according to a minimum health risk?

These people make those decisions individually so they also must individually pay for it. Though I do believe that we should help people of true need.

• Those unable to work: the elderly, disabled, widows, orphans, and those genuinely incapacitated
• The destitute and oppressed: those in extreme poverty due to oppression, injustice, misfortune, or circumstances beyond their control
• Strangers and sojourners: foreigners living among us who are genuinely in need (not able-bodied individuals choosing dependency)
• Neighbors and brothers: fellow community members who have fallen into poverty despite working
• The hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, and imprisoned: those suffering these conditions (as Christ identifies with them in Matthew 25)

Biblically, there's a significant difference between:

Scenario A: A person injured once from risky behavior gets emergency help (mercy, Good Samaritan principle)

Scenario B: A system where the prudent are forced by taxation to continuously pay for the repeated, chosen consequences of others' ongoing reckless behavior (smoking for 40 years, habitual drunkenness leading to liver failure, etc.)

Scenario B seems to violate multiple Biblical principles:

1. It removes consequences (contradicts Galatians 6:7)
2. It's compulsory rather than voluntary charity
3. It enables ongoing destructive behavior (violates Proverbs 19:19)
4. It punishes the prudent to subsidize the foolish

However, Scripture also acknowledges we cannot always know if someone's condition is truly self-inflicted (the Book of Job is entirely about this). Pre-existing conditions, genetic factors, and unknown variables exist.

The Biblical answer might be: Voluntary, localized charity where the givers can use wisdom and discernment - not forced, universal systems that remove all consequences and cannot distinguish between misfortune and foolishness.
