    Civil war may come of it. That is why the government leaches want the high capacity semi auto clips limited.

    Civil war may come of it, but I'm not sure the government wants restrictions on semi-auto clips for this reason.

    That is because of playground war, not civil war.

    Wrong. Competition creates a few winners and many, many losers. Only a few benefit. Cooperation benefits everyone involved in some way. Cooperation is by far the better choice.

    After reading some of the posts from our resident experts on economics, is time to remind everyone.

    And now the Europeans are lowering their tariffs on American cars.

    The plan is working perfectly.

    Yeah, I hear they will drop them entirely as long as we do the same.
    I think they are after our truck market. What do you think?

    Let the tariffs fall and let the strong survive.

    European trucks are of fine quality, but more expensive and high maintenance.

    GM ford etc has factory there in EU, so they dont get tariff, its same as BMW make SUV here. in essence it doesn't do squad, as most US auto manufacture there already. China did the same cause they know GM/Ford already make cars in China which dont have tariff, and how many car they export to US.
