Same game as the 2008 economic crash. They could have bailed out the mortgage holders…but instead, they bailed out the lenders. The banks would have gotten paid either way, but instead of helping regular people…they just gave the money to the banks.
2008 didn‘t damage mortage holders, how did you get to this opinion? Banks were packaging bad credits with good ones an shifting those packages like hot potatoes between each other. Till it crashed.
You don’t remember them crashing the entire economy?
Yes. That’s a different case to todays case. People should‘ve been bailed out. Trump used his powers wrong and thus the paid tariffs have to be paid back to the importer. If the importer give this back to customers is a different question. Everybody should speak to Walmart et. al. about a this.
Because these companies have ALWAYS responded positively to consumers wishes, its why prices are so low and why we’re in a golden age of national production, instead of paying companies to ship products from one country, where they’re farmed, to another country to be processed, then another country to be packaged, and finally to their destination where they’re sold.
