Conservatives fear trade war could cripple tax cuts message

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Conservatives are worried a trade war with China could wipe out the positive economic benefits of the tax-cut law and cost Republicans their majorities in Congress.

“What Republicans and President Trump did in December was create this enormous, pro-growth tailwind going into this November's elections, and I think that they’ve needlessly created this headwind that could erase all of those gains,” said Andy Roth, vice president of government affairs at the conservative Club for Growth.

“This is a huge unforced error,” he added.

The tax law has been at the center of the GOP’s midterm messaging, with Trump and Republican lawmakers touting its boost to paychecks and the economy.

You mean the tax cuts which were too minimal for most of us to make a difference?

1. There is a (small) group still in the GOP with some intellectual chops.

They aren't the racists, the warmongers, or the corporate lobbyists (although they're sympathetic to that last). They really believe in guys like Hayek and are fans of Adam Smith's "invisible hand." As a general statement, they have been honorably wrong rather than truly evil. Some of them have been honest enough to be the Nevertrumpers.

The rest irredeemably sold out their country in 2016 and have lost any chance they may have had for sympathy.

3. For the average and those below average incomes,

all those bullshit savings were gone last month with the increases in Gasoline and Groceries. Plus increases in Auto and Health Insurance Policies.

4. Tanking the economy.

Seems to be the only thing Republicans are good at.
