I’m taking myself out of this equation. I didn’t even list anything about the skilled immigration in my points.

 

Since you brought this subject. Yes they have every right to deny a visa. That’s fine. We will have to honor it. No questions asked. 

At the same time native Americans should have a bigger say in USA politics too. European whites are only here for 200 years. They can’t hijack the whole country and make this ethnically white. Thats not fair either. Since we are talking about fairness and who has ownership of this land. 

US is in this position because of the Europeans mainly British. Without them, it would have been barren land with untamed resources.

China has a restrictive market to prevent US goods from capturing their market. The US overcome a good amount of trade deficit (~20%) after COVID, and some manufacturers moved back. If the Chinese markets were not so restrictive, the trade deficit will reduce further...but they don't want to do that. Hence the tariffs. Trump ain't stupid. He seems like it, but he isn't. 

But why Canada. Usa has trade surplus with Canada if you exclude just crude oil. He just wants to use tariffs money to give tax breaks to billionaires

It is a complicated question. It is a combination of the reduction in trade decifit to China and increase in US manufacturing. I have seen more products made in USA over made in China or made in India since the pandemic. I know for a fact that trade decifit to China reduced though.

are you referring 2018 tariffs? it was retaliation? it was initiated by USA first and later canada retaliated

i would like to address hypocrisy of few people here, Trump abolished WTO mechanisms and launched a trade war, still he is hero 

Indian Formers asked the very same thing during formers protest (abolish WTO guidelines ) but those hypocrites said it was huge crime to ask that

 

if Govt is not spending on governance (Fed operational expenses), is it running a Government or Profit oriented private organization? 🧐

Anna,

Looks like you know a lot about trade and tariffs. you shall apply to FTC  and US commerce department Anna. You shall teach them basics about WTO and trade and tariffs.

Canada USA is a complicated issue. USA spends a good amount on Canadian defense so that is their leverage. Canadian leverage is access to minerals. Trump says that this whole tarrifs are to stop fentanyl trade, but it is more complicated than that. Canada and Mexico are aiding China to send fentanyl into the US is what he claims. But I just think they don't want Canada to get away with all the benefits that US is giving them economically.

In the context of WTO, this is the game the China is playing. Set up a shop in Mexico, import to Mexico and then dump into US. The same is with Canada. That’s why he is saying a flat tariff of 10%. 
I can see the end of WTO by the 2030.

Less than 1% of fentanyl comes from China. He just want tariff money to reduce taxes for billionaires

Spending is what the US Government does, they are not spending "their" money. They are spending taxpayer money. They have to be responsible with it. At our center, we are not allowed to have any profits. But I can tell you we do not spend your tax money very efficiently. For example, if I have to give contract to a small business owner who is a minority despite quoting a higher bid, I am wasting your taxpayer money. I do not think firing Federal employees is the right move to reduce federal spending. I think the right thing to do will vary from center to center. At our center, I know what needs to be done, but it may not be relevant for other centers. I don't think the Trump administration is going to spend the time to figure out what "actually" needs to be done to reduce federal spending. Simply asking people to come to work, is actually going to cost them more. Although I have an office space, there are several others who do not have an office space, and I think accommodating them in office space will take precedent over other important projects costing more tax money. That is not the right way to reduce federal spending. 

everyone pays taxes including h1b

government spends on national interests not on individual interests

if social welfare is not govt job then why it has to be democratic nation and why everyone has to vote like sheep

are you crying one veteran welfare veterans welfare or senior citizens welfare? or minority welfare?

veterans and senior citizens contributed their part and resting now, you dont have to be complaining on their spending

coming to minorities , if there is majority spending on minorities then you can raise your voice
