    EVEN upchuck schumer agrees on Canada and their self-serving overprotection of their dairy farmers:

"Representing a state suffering especially hard from farm failures and suicides, the US Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, recently echoed his Republican president in blaming Canada for the debacle. “Canada, when it comes to dairy, acts like China when it comes to trade,” Schumer told hard-pressed farmers in upstate New York. “They’re unfair. They put up barriers. They treat us bad.”

ohio soy is going to get smashed by this trade war. 

And from the BBC. The actual state-run media most definitely and expectedly slanted toward Europe. Doesn't seem that outrageous that we should ask them to tip in a little bit more to live under the umbrella of the US Military.

How/who did all these one-sided deals? Of course some of our allies want to keep their gravy train rolling,

we are their train - their advantage.

Time for that to end, at least make it CLOSE to fair.

BINGO!

When you consistently have one country buying more from other countries, guess who holds the leverage?

Another question do you think we would be better off if we use nothing but cheap Chinese Steel?

So wrecking ball it is then.

EDIT: And you know the problem with wrecking balls is that they also come back in your direction once they get through the target.

Sir you're getting hysterical.

Public humiliation of the leaders in our allied countries isn't renegotiation. It's just plain stupid and makes our president out to be the Ugly American, which he is. And now Wall Street is beginning to see it for what it is so down goes the market and the American economy with it. Wrecking ball is not the end all - be all approach to everything. Harley is just the start.

You do realize this article was written almost a year and a half ago before Trump alienated most of our allies, right?

he just doesnt understand that a not negligible % of those people have zero intention of saying eh and aboot. no fuks given about becoming canadians. u have to be careful with ur immigration policy. so many of these heads of state are spurned on by national corporations and the economists who shill for them to bring cheap labor in.

I pretty much agree but I don't think that cheap labor is going to be a bonanza from these people. Mexicans come over in droves to work the fields temporarily and no matter what anybody says Americans aren't going to do it. Deadbeats in the inner-city make more  from welfare than you get paid  picking grapes . Skilled and semi-skilled Mexicans are coming over  to do jobs that the unions of price themselves out of . 

These people had the thousands of children aren't looking for work. They'll be put on welfare and stay there generation after generation. 

And again I repeat we need to loosen up the immigration laws. If there are Mexicans Indians Koreans Chinese Eastern Europeans Etc that go through the trouble of applying and have some sort of skill to offer or any kind of work ethic I say come on down.

We really can't afford to take him every member of the dregs of the third world. Our inner cities are already starting to resemble the places they came from. Except for the fact that the basic needs color housing, Healthcare, food color even cable television and cell phones are provided by Uncle Sam unlike Guatemala.
