the US treasury has collected almost 1 billion in tariffs so far. Correct me if I'm wrong. But for the most part, isn't that money paid for by Americans on goods received, rather than the importing country? Therfore wouldn't that mean it's money taken from its own citizens, not other countries

In 2024, inflation was falling, Powell cut. Now, Trump's tariffs are set to spike prices. Cutting now risks blowing it all up. This isn't politics, it's prevention. Powell's not late. He's the only adult left in the room, so, sit down. Let the adults handle this. Thank you.

He couldn't face being in another country, surrounded by all those he has maligned and bad mouthed, alone without his maga bullies to back him up.

As a news junkie, l found it interesting that the coverage of King Charles opening Canada's Parliament today, was reported in this order:
CBC (Canada)Leading Story
The Guardian (UK) -2nd Top Story
Al Jezeera (Arabic)- 5th -Top Story
The New York Times -Nothing . l guess they are "following orders"

When Charles Boycott refused their request for lower rent, no one would work, trade, or even deliver his mail. His name became the word we use today.
