    Certainly the ones I have talked to have displayed an alarming amount of ignorance about political topics.

      [Donald J. Trump on Twitter: "Trade negotiators have just returned from China where the meetings on Trade were very productive. Now at meetings with me at Mar-a-Lago giving the details. In the meantime, Billions of Dollars are being paid to the United](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1096926633708134406) China is probably losing billions because of the tariffs, but the ones actually paying billions to the US are the American taxpayers, not China.

      By how much did your taxes go up, and what percentage of it is now used to pay those tarifs?

        What is your point here? Trying to make me believe that China is actually writing a check to the US for the tariffs?

            In the interest of fairness: Exactly how many dollars did Obama "claw back" from the hundreds of millions of dollars given as bonus to Wall Street executives for their roles in the multi-billion dollar rescue of Bear Sterns, etc, which used tax-payer money and the investors didn't have to risk a penny?

                    That is highly probable. In fact, I would have been fucking pissed as an American taxpayer having my tax money used to bail out banks. I would have let them sink.

                      No, just getting tired of the same old claims. Did your taxes rise, or not?

                        In the interest of fairness, Obama has nothing to do with anything related to that. He wasn't an investigator or a lawyer in the Justice department. The laws that existed, at the time, were put in place before he was a president. And probably quite a while before he was even significant in the political scene. Not to mention of course that the ideological necessity of prosecutorial negotiations with defendants is something that has been going on for probably hundreds of years. Certainly before he was even born. Matter of fact the Federal Reserve Bank isn't even really a governmental agency. Which is something many conspiracy theory advocates love to point out. But the governance that does exist falls under Congress and not the President. And unless I am mistaken the bailout was provided before Obama even took office. Which would mean that the investigation was proceeding then as well. But perhaps you we referring specifically to something else.

                          What you fail to mention is that Bear Stearns no longer exists. And in point of fact it no longer existed when Obama took office. So exactly who were you anticipating that the money would come from?

                            Taxes? I presumed by the statement of "taxpayers" it was meant to refer to citizens of the US and not individual taxpayers as taxes. The citizens and other legal and even illegal residents of the US have already been "paying" in various ways such as losses to investment accounts and increases in various products that have been impacted.
