    Billions of Dollars are pouring into the coffers of the U.S.A. because of the Tariffs

    Well if this is his idea of extra billions I say it's not much.
    :
    Tariffs collected in the latest fiscal year ended Sept. 30 rose by less than $7 billion from fiscal 2017, according to the Treasury. That is less than 0.2 percent of the $3.3 trillion the Treasury took in during the latest fiscal year.

    In the end it's the folks that pay for the tariff's whether they be here or elsewhere.
    OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

    The funny thing is how much was China making off of taking our trade secrets and using them for their own business? How much was that costing us in the long run? Why doesn't anybody ask why China still gets to file as a third world Country status with the WTO and get the benefits from that? Of course it is from the "nbc" moniker, so it of course is going to be anti American just to make the current admin look bad.


    Next thing you know they will be complaining about the 5 billion we need for the border wall, yet they sat with closed mouth and did not ask how Obama managed to come up with 160 Billion to give to Iran.
