Wow a bunch of arm chair Economists here! I'm so glad none of you are the USA Secretary of Commerce.
So did you always think that these luxury goods increase every year by magic beans? All of a sudden talk of tariffs is the end of civilization? Maybe your use to the dealer markups and the MTG rebates thinking your getting a great price? If Winni wants to blame tariffs and DJT for their increases, and they expect you to react by either pulling the trigger now to buy, or get you all worked up to point fingers because it hurts their globalist bottom line, cuts into their profit margins. If your worried about costs, stop upgrading every 3 or 4 years for the latest and greatest rigs. You may either have an issue or too much money on your hands? If it's the latter, then a true tariff increase won't have any affect on you. For NAFTA, end it. Only K-street and politicians elites in both parties benefited from it.
This is a "camping" forum, not a political soapbox. It's bad enough that the MSM keeps pushing their Fake news agendas all in our faces. Please keep your partisans leanings to yourself and bite your tongue when someone (like me) doesn't agree with your beliefs, this isn't the place. So normally I wouldn't respond to something like this, and I won't certainly say anything more or respond to flamers on this. Please block me or something so you won't be offended if my name pops up here or there.
This is nothing but ignorance if you get sucked into these topics.

Not sure where to start with your post as it's all over the map, seemingly pointing fingers at a whole group of posters. But if your suggesting my comment about my reason for purchasing now due to future increases. It was based on experience in my own field. It's real. So doing what I did made sense to me, and I personally could care less if you believe I was suckered.
It amazes me how some people feel the need to tell others how to spend their money, or how they believe they have a grasp on global machinations more so than others. You sure covered a lot of political real estate yourself with that post.
For the record. I could care less about the tariffs. Let them rip. I have zero problem with them. I wouldn't be the first to plan out a large purchase.
