Subject: RE: Tariff issue is hard for me.....


I am all for leveling the playing field when it comes to outta wack tariffs but will someone please give me an honest explanation why Trump and his press secretary keep saying over and over about how we are getting screwed by the Canadians and there 250%+ tariffs on Dairy products? Please TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH PEOPLE!
Like I asked in another thread…… If I charge $5 to play in my yard and my neighbor charges $25 to play in their yard, who is making more? If the neighbor that charges $25 does not collect anything until 100 kids show up, then who has the better gig?
Sounds a lot like an  agreement signed and touted as the “Best trade deal ever!” by our President back in 2018. That was the USMCA Agreement that DID include tariffs on 11 dairy products once they passed a certain quota. AGAIN, SIGNED BY OUR PRESIDENT ( who so happens to be our current President).
The tariffs 250%+ ARE in the agreement and guess what has been failed to mention in any press conference other than the outrageously high tariffs?
Canada has not collected a single penny off those tariffs because we have not even come close to the quotas to engage them, or in other words, hard to bitch at your neighbor charging $25 yard play fees when he’s not getting 100 kids or never will to collect the fee anyway! 
Mr. President, if your going to tout this or send Karoline out there to tout this for you, as your reason to slam the neighbors to the north with tariffs, please tell the whole truth and come up with something else. I’m sure you can find something else. The whole dairy tariff excuse is a little out there for anyone who looks into it… especially coming from the guy who helped write the agreement?
