    And WHY?

    Al Gore cut a huge amount. When he cut all the law allowed, he
    went to Congress. Gingrich and the Republicans refused to cut waste.

    So your answer is Republicans are opposed to cutting government
    waste and spending?

    Robert Bernard Reich (born June 24,1946) is an American
    professor, author, lawyer, and political commentator. He
    worked in the administrations of presidents Gerald Ford and
    Jimmy Carter, and served as Secretary of Labor from 1993 to
    1997 in the cabinet of President Bill Clinton. He was also a
    member of President Barack Obama's economic transition
    advisory board.

    Reich has been the Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy
    at the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley since
    January 2006. He was formerly a lecturer at Harvard
    University's John F. Kennedy School of Government and a
    professor of social and economic policy at the Heller School
    for Social Policy and Management of Brandeis University. In
    2008, Time magazine named him one of the Ten Best Cabinet
    Members of the century, and in the same year The Wall Street
    Journal placed him sixth on its list of Most Influential
    Business Thinkers.

    Reich has published numerous books, including the
    best-sellers The Work of Nations (1991), Reason (2004),
    Supercapitalism (2007), Aftershock (2010), Beyond Outrage
    (2012), and Saving Capitalism (2015). The Robert Reich-Jacob
    Kornbluth film Saving Capitalism debuted on Netflix in
    November 2017, and their film Inequality for All won a U.S.
    Documentary Special Jury Award for Achievement in Filmmaking
    at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. He is board chair
    emeritus of Common Cause and blogs at Robertreich.org.

    Never mind 50 countries caving to the tariffs.

    It's up to ~70 countries now.
    And there is more to come.

    But how many actual 'deals' have been announced?

    Zimbabwe is one. A whopping $5M saved.


    FYI, EU called Trump's bluff, proposing a "zero for zero" (all tariffs completely dropped), which is what Trump had claimed he wanted, but
    Trump has rejected that proposal. Now what, Batman?

    So who else has actually closed a deal?

    Name names, because otherwise its just lame MAGA propaganda.

    You just don't fucking get it.

    For one, that's on "reciprocal" tariffs, and THAT, moron, is EXACTLY what he wants.

    Shortly after the announcement, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
    said the pause was part of “his strategy all along.” But he also

    What happened is that Japan started selling the $1T they have in US
    Treasuries, and with that softening of demand, the Treasury market
    yields shot up (as I was saying earlier today), and higher interest
    rates is the opposite of what the US wants when it comes to the cost of
    us servicing our debt.

    And even Fox Business's senior correspondent Charlie Gasparino is openly
    saying that this is what caused Trump to blink...cue the videotape from
    ~40 minutes ago:

    <https://x.com/RpsAgainstTrump/status/1910061447146508756>

    TL;DR: Trump blinked. And despite today's huge recovery bounce, your
    Market investments are still down YTD by large (8 to 11%) margins.

    The NYT can print any Trump hating headline it wants. It's typically
    never contextually accurate.

    The Insane Oranger set fire to a pile of trillions of dollars.
    Including retirement savings. It is almost like some idiot
    emptying a reservoir of summer water to be wasted in the winter.

    So what did we get for this damage. '50 countries caving'

    So what deals have they made? What deals are they going to make?

    What was the profit on all this loss.

    Already done so: that's why I was the first to name a country who
    reportedly had cut a deal (Zimbabwe).

    That's why I'm dubious about this "70 have caved" type of claim:
    there's no such news reports on concessions, let alone 50-70 of them.

    Latest news is that there may be 15 who are in contact to enter into discussions ... but a discussion isn't a done-deal "CAVE".

    "Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that about 70 countries have
    reached out to the Trump administration to negotiate on
    tariffs that were announced this past week."

    Is it too hard for you to fathom that, out of THIS many countries, 70 have already "reached out" in SOME form?

    WHY do you need to know which countries have reached out?

    WHY do you not believe the 70 figure?

    Because as per above, only ~15 have actually made any offers. The rest
    (50 or 70 or whatever) are likely to have just been calls made by
    officials to ask "social media says .. what's the official word?".


    What if it is wrong?

    Merely YA example of a Trump exaggeration.

    Don't you think Trump will call off his "pause" on
    tariffs on those countries not willing to negotiate?

    He's already got bigger problems than some tiny nation not giving him
    lip service. Seems that your news cycle is behind on US bond yields and
    on currency valuation changes (hint: USD down big vs Euro).

    As is usual in cases like this... give it time for the truth to come out.


    Of course - - but that's you now also criticizing (accidentally) how
    fucked up Trump's "tariff tariff tariff" bit has been.

    We paid seven trillion dollars to brow beat Zimbabwe into buying
    more Coke machines.

    So much winning! It makes me sick!

    Is that supposed to be a citation or just another drunken post?

    Siri thinks he's being sardonic, sarcastic and facetious with such obscure references that only HE knows (because he's the only
    one who thinks this bullshit up), but comes off as being exactly what you said and we think... just another Usenet nerd who
    thinks up shit no one EVER even thinks of.

    Drunk? Maybe.

    Weird?

    DEFINITELY.
