It's frustrating to see big government Republicans continuously being fiscally irresponsible and meddling in the free market.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/10/us/politics/us-biden-chin... "The tariff rate will go up to 100% on electric vehicles, to 50% on solar cells and to 25% on electrical vehicle batteries" How is this fundamentally different from the Tariffs the Biden Administration announced and enacted in 2024?
This really is the dumbest bill of all time. Increases the national debt while decreasing government services to reliable Republican voters, to benefit the least popular people in America. It is shockingly unpopular, and the more voters learn about it, the more they dislike it. The lack of opposition by the GOP is going to sink them in the midterms.

I find it interesting that in the Trump era, Republicans are enthusaiastically "pro-taxation," reversing a decades long anti-tax trend. From an economic perspective, these are not viable long-term as they are mostly implementing regressive taxes... which destroy demand and cause recession.
I think this will push research investment into decentralized power.
Again. Undermining US Industries. This time with an excise tax.

Even the president couldn’t market his presidential campaign without the help of Chinese made products/tchotchkes.
