Details of the trade deal
“The tariffs President Donald Trump announced against China on April 2 are being cut by 24 percentage points for this temporary period while retaining the remaining ad valorem rate of 10% from that announcement, according to a joint statement.
China agreed to the same stipulations, adding that it will “adopt all necessary administrative measures to suspend or remove the non-tariff countermeasures taken against the United States since April 2,” the announcement stated.
Under the deal, reciprocal tariffs for both countries would be reduced by 115%. The U.S. will temporarily lower its tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, and China will reduce its levies on American products from 125% to 10%.
Both the U.S. and China agreed to take the aforementioned actions by Wednesday.”
All well and good. A 30% tariff on Chinese goods will probably not have a huge impact on prices and demand for Chinese consumer products especially if some of it is absorbed along the supply chain. There is of course an elasticity of demand for each product, but if for example the resulting increase is 15% I would imagine it will only marginally decrease demand and consumption.
Not sure if a 10% levy on American products will actually translate in a large surge in US exports to China. Most of the US exports to China are agricultural, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals. US made consumer products are probably too expensive for most Chinese consumers and even if they are not it would take some time to create a demand. In any case, you want to participate in a market with a 1.2 billion people.
In any case, as I said in the other thread, IF in the end we do MORE commerce with China than before, I will agree Trump’s strategy brought results.

According to Scott Bessent today:
”Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: In January 2020, President Trump produced a template. We had an excellent trade agreement with China, and the Biden administration chose not to enforce it. The Chinese delegation basically told us that once President Biden came into office, they just ignored their obligations. So we all already have a large framework.
The other thing to remember here, Jonathan, is that this is a pause down to 10 %. The April second level for China is 34 %. So we will be working to see where their final reciprocal number ends up. The negotiations are a combination of tariffs, non-tariff trade barriers, currency manipulation, and subsidies of labor and capital”

I am someone ambivalent on the war against “big pharma”, every politician’s punching bag.
Big Pharma needs big profits to fund research and development and testing of new drugs which is very expensive and most drugs don’t pan out.
Also of course there is a rationale to charging lower prices to markets that have lower purchasing power, but I do oppose subsidizing these markets vs. just having lower profits. In other words I don’t fault Big Pharma for charging less in Uganda than it does in the US if it is just the case it makes lower profits. If it is charging Ugandans less than cost then its a subsidy I don’t agree with.
I haven’t read the details of Trump’s plan, generally I oppose artificial steps to “lower prices” on pharmaceuticals.
I will reserve judgment until I get a better grip on what he is proposing.

Chicon – The data that the government reports on is usually collected in one of two ways – businesss fill out mandatory submissions and the Census Bureau conducts surveys. This data is then passed on the BEA, BLS, Census Bureau – economists in those organizations use that source data from a few thousand households or businesses and extrapolate it to produce an estimate for the entire country.
A number of assumptions are made in these extrapolations, in order to make the results as robust as possible. (Pollsters do the same thing with voting preferences.)
From time to time, the government organization responsible for that data series makes major adjustments to the mechanism by which the US totals are estimated. Except for the BEA data, all series are subject to periodic revision – CPI and Employment Situation Summary are the most often re-stated.
As an economic historian, I choose to believe that the results presented – this month, last year, 50 years ago – are not deliberately manipulated for political purposes. The information would be useless to me if it was changed arbitrarily based on the adminstration in power.
However, because the extrapolation and adjustment processes are somewhat opaque to the casual journalist or blogger, it is easy for them to attack the results they don’t like.

Fortunately, according to Bitter, it doesn’t matter what the pope says.
“Cardinal Blase Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago, said on Sunday that he thinks Pope Leo XIV will carry forward Francis’s commitment and focus on immigration, climate change and human trafficking.”

“It was the Cult who began to redefine conservatism and trash Reagan to crush any questioning of their new god.”
-Nobody, especially those you label “the Cult”, have trashed Reagan at all.
The fact that we point out that Reagan did some of the same things you and others go after Trump for is not trashing Reagan, it is reinforcing the fact that Trumps actions are within the mainstream of Republican governance.

“Even DW and Vic have mostly moved on.”
DWs “Where is this?” was a nice change of pace. Did he get pissed off at someone?
As for Vic, what happened to him? He did have a lot going on with his boys!

Yes Bitterlaw, you should have let HHR die, but that is your choice, I believe you had good intentions. You are correct though that your name is now associated with a Cult blog.
Do not avoid all responsibility though on this narrative. Going back to 2016, you were very harsh and personally insulting to all the long-time Republican posters, and there were many of them from the time who left in 2016 and never came back, who said they would not vote for Trump.. You said all those people were no different than Democrats, although somehow you gave Walt a pass, even though he voted three times against Trump also.
