Re: Terri Wu’s article (and others) on tariffs

Complaining about the US trade deficit assumes that the US Dollar is an honest unit of account; it is NOT. Please consider what exactly is trading hands, and what the “deficit” is.

As long as the US continues to operate on make-believe funny money, we have no right to bitch about a trade deficit – or anything. A US trade rep says the US has “suffered” decades of “wealth loss”.  NONSENSE.  Please define wealth.  A $1.3 trillion annual trade deficit means that we got other countries’ labor, products, and resources (i.e., real wealth) and we “paid” them with fiat debt money that corrupt politicians and bankers create out of thin air by the trillions (and then have the guts to charge “interest” on it). Yes, it is dishonest (a form of economic slavery), but undoubtedly a good deal for the US Gov’t (as long as it lasts).

Paper IOU’s are not wealth.  We got the real goods while “trade surplus” countries got stuck with constantly devaluing fiat garbage or UST’s. Unbacked paper money is always destroyed by inflation, as the dollar debts or deficits become progressively worthless in real terms.

Since 2019 the US M2 money supply increased (inflated) by 43%. That means that the REAL VALUE (constant purchasing power) of our $36 trillion nominal national debt was inflated away (i.e., destroyed or stolen) to the tune of $15.5 Trillion Dollars. That is a massive theft from the poor “trade surplus” idiots who believed in paper money or were forced to accept the PetroDollar.

That is how the US Government and corrupt banks control and rob the world, why many nations continue to sell US Treasuries and repatriate their gold, and why the BRICS nations continue to grow and abandon the Dollar to seek a more honest and level playing field.  More power to them! 

The US needs to return to honest, Constitutional money (gold & silver).

Due to policies by the governing class, the United States military has been delibertly weakened and with the abysmal failed withdraw of our troops from Afghanistan (the death of empires) the image of the United States has been faltering. The image of GOD is still a white man, Either Santa Claus with a sweet bubbly effervescent coca cola giving you a feel good to prey upon your emotions to get you to buy into the FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE whose image is of GOD a white man General George Washington, who’ll sacrifice himself and his family to set us FREE or the image of CHRIST on the cross. Whom we’ll sell off for our shekels, blame it on the state take HIS name in vain and blame HIM for all our ills. Right now with the monetary system and the collapse of the clown show in this family circus. It was deliberately planned out. I could name names and show you the plan and go through the HIStory, but the current plan is with NAFTA the US military jointly trained with soldiers from 3rd world nations here in the US and in their home country and then the “elite” went to jointly train in Israel. Then those soldiers were allowed to immigrant into the US and receive sweetheart deals for education and to make businesses. Then they allowed for the free flow of their hard earned dollar to be sent home and to facilitate the rest of their family coming in. Meantime the monied class use this to prop up wall street and the war machine. The Goal from China who thinks and plans in 100 year increments is to remove from the US the finest of Fruits and the Intelligences that create and produce and to render us obsolete, collapsing the United States FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE, then all the foreign nationals here in the United States, will switch teams to who ever holds the gold so they can eat, and they’ll wear the UN blue hats, to control what is left. China and Russia have both allegedly been buying and storing gold and they are planning on bringing back a “gold” backed state owned cryptocurrency with digital and societal social credit scores to keep everyone in line and turn us into chattel slaves. They use the division of gender, sexual orientation and the individuals own belief in whatever faith they hold to divide and conquer us. I don’t know what else to do. Because all trade wars end up in shooting wars, and wars good for business, but with the coming forced bankruptcy and collapse of USA, Inc which we’ve enjoyed and lived high on the hog with thanks to the sacrifices of all our family members that came before us.

Writes Kevin Duffy:

Hi Lew,

About a month ago, Howard Lutnick said on CNBC: 

“Tariffs do not, do not, do not create inflation! Money printing creates inflation. China has the highest tariffs in the world. They don’t have inflation.”

Last year China had a trade-weighted average tariff rate of just 3%.  (See here from trade experts at the Cato Institute)

How do we explain this? 

A. Lutnick is right and the Cato trade experts are wrong. 

B. This is hyperbole meant to sell the tariffs.  All’s fair in love and trade wars. 

C. Lutnick is ignorant of the facts. 

D. Lutnick is just another lying politician. 

The problem is that this isn’t an isolated case with the Trump economic team.  It’s a pattern.  Some might call it a design flaw.

BYD Announces Home Solar-Powered Humanoid Robot for $10,000! – CleanTechnica

The Chinese EV and battery giant has just introduced a general-purpose robot powered with advanced AI that can reportedly do difficult and nuanced tasks for you, like do the laundry, fold your clothes, vacuum, rake leaves, and even scrub the bathtub and toilets.

Whereas Tesla has a long-term goal of one day producing 1 million Optimus robots a year, bringing the cost down to $30,000 each, BYD is introducing this new humanoid robot at $10,000, with deliveries beginning in December 2025. That’s still a healthy chunk of cash, but it’s much more accessible to large portions of the population — the upper middle class or possibly even middle class, given the utility of the robot.

Going one step further, this BYD robot, named “BoYoboD,” is solar powered! It comes with a solar power charging kit that you place outside. When the robot gets low on battery — you can set that to be 10%, 20%, or whatever you prefer — it goes and plugs itself into a portable solar panel plus battery system that charges it up. So, yeah, BYD is going one step forward yet again and really building our dreams.

Naturally, the robot can also plug in your electric car for you. However, BYD has clarified that the robot can’t drive (yet).

Thanks, Johnny Kramer.

Hi Lew,

How are these “reciprocal tariffs” being calculated?  

By country: “Tariffs Charged to U.S.A.” = trade deficit / imports.

According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, “This calculation assumes that persistent trade deficits are due to a combination of tariff and non-tariff factors that prevent trade from balancing.” 

What if they’re not?  What if other factors might be involved: 

– Low savings 

– High government borrowing 

– Direct foreign investment 

– Indirect foreign investment (stocks) 

– Willingness of foreign central banks to hold U.S. dollars as reserve currency 

The economic illiteracy, hubris and recklessness of the people behind these decisions (Trump, Vance, Lutnick, Bessent and Miran) is truly staggering.
