    Our elected leaders are using the latest science and data available to them to make the best decision for us. Let's just take a deep breath and not be hasty in our judgements.

    Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

    Its short term political positioning, IMO.
    They are pushing the new administration to make changes using the "easy to win" Trade war game.
    I believe it will be short lived.

    Why should they? Doesn't that $ go right to the US Treasury via general budget to fund education, health care and climate change?

    Quoted from RCA1:

    Yeah, as others noted, this is an EU tariff, not a US tariff.
    And I think you mean to fund waste, graft, and interest on debt.

    I'm guessing that the revenue collected by the EU also goes into their general budgets to support infrastructure, health care, etc?

    Assuming this is the case, don't understand the criticism. I know it hits our pocket book - but climate change is every country's responsibility. If it pays interest on debt, it has to come from somewhere..Isn't it for the greater good?

    Quoted from Doctor6:

    I get it. US started by slapping huge fees on things to other countries and they do it back. They get free money and we get screwed. Seems like a win/lose scenario.

    All depends on what side of the fence you are on.

    No ... everybody looses.

    No they don't. Follow the $.
