Bizarre, it sometimes happens that shortly after I post something, “news” with similar “keywords” is published…
Today, Donald Trump announced on Twitter to restore tariffs on Argentina and Brazil, calling out the countries for devaluing their currency.
Trump tweeted:Carl Icahn had profited from the US importing about 3.8 million metric tons of steel from Brazil this year, about 3.5% of the 110 million tons of steel consumed in the US per year.Brazil and Argentina have been presiding over a massive devaluation of their currencies. which is not good for our farmers. Therefore, effective immediately, I will restore the Tariffs on all Steel & Aluminum that is shipped into the U.S. from those countries
No information on how high the tariffs will be: https://business.financialpost.com/n...-swipes-at-fed

You have the right to tell the OP to shut up by right of prior threadjack? Do your threadjacks overrule the OP to the point where you can demand a new thread title?
What, exactly, prevents that from being an $#@! assumption? Or, to put it another way, who else would make that assumption?
To me it looks like the dirt poor Bolivia was doing relatively well in the period that Morales was president.
Bolivia had an average population growth of 1.9% per year from 2000 to 2016
In 2004, in a referendum a majority of Bolivians voted for expanding state control over the hydrocarbons sector.
In May 2006, then newly-elected president Evo Morales renationalized Bolivia’s oil and gas industries. This has increased tax revenue, to spend on Bolivia’s government policy.
Bolivia also greatly expanded its international reserves, which has allowed Bolivia to gain its independence from the IMF.
Bolivia’s international reserves are currently at more than 48% of GDP, which is relatively high.
While our wonderful media often claim that nationalisations is the end of attracting international investment, Bolivia had the highest level of foreign direct investment in South America, as percent of GDP, in 2013.
Head of the Economic Commission on Latin America and the Caribbean Alicia Barcena has praised Bolivia for decreasing economic inequality.
From 2005-2014, the real minimum wage in Bolivia increased by 87.7%.
In 2008, the US added Bolivia to its list of countries that had “failed demonstrably” to fight drugs. Bolivia has remained on the list, despite having considerably reduced the amount of coca cultivation: http://cepr.net/blogs/the-americas-b...o-in-10-graphs

I don't waste my time on people who claim communism is good for a country.
The same kinds of claims were made about Venezuela and every other communist country that destroyed itself.
Communists are good at spending and redistributing wealth and that can give a temporary burst of "prosperity" but it destroys the economy in the long run, they also lie about their economic statistics.
Why am I the only one on a "libertarian" site that is opposing the communist?
Oh! I forgot, liberty = Death to Israel! and nothing else.

We're supposed to leave your every half-thought-out utterance you make unchallenged because you sprinkle anti-communist plaritudes in here and there? Or because you pretend you're the only member speaking out against the stuff?
You seem to be having a spin crisis today.

Um, opposing totalitarianism and opposing Trump is kinda the same damned thing. And claiming Trump isn't authoritarian because there are bigger authoritarians is about as not helpful as cheering for Trump to do authoritarian things--like regime change in Bolivia.
But you know. If a RWSJW self-identifies as our Lord and Saviour, only a fool tries to reason with him.

Not when you are opposing him for decreasing government as firestater did about WOTUS.
Please point out where I said either thing.
When I have something good to say about Trump it's about things he does to reduce government etc. and I specifically oppose any foreign meddling in this thread and elsewhere.
