Who wrote that? It's like they use debt and deficit interchangeably.

This is why so many like yourself come to the wrong conclusion on tariffs. It's based on a faulty understanding of who will bear the cost.
Expecting the consumer to bear the entire cost is humorously false.

How does anything you said or he said invalidate that?
Did you read his point? In the "bring manufacturing back" scenario, we wouldn't be charging tariffs because those products would be made domestically, and no longer imported.
No imports = no tariffs.
We can't do both at any scale as they compete with each other.
The 2 other rotating goals are, (1) National Security and (2) Refinance the Debt (which I believe is currently dead).

My problem is the tariffs are applied to international agricultural products that cannot be produced in America. I have clients getting hurt by tariffs significantly who manufacture everything in the US but use intl components (tropical fruits, nuts, seasonings, etc)

What products exactly? I'd be interested in researching tariffs before and after.

Because there doesn't appear to be any coherent plan. We're just throwing shite out there, some of it sticks, some we have to wipe off the wall ourselves and pretend it's all part of the strategy.

Batting 0/2 so far today.
You don't know what "can't" means and don't know what "melting" means, either.

What's the point of articles like this??? 10 year financial projections have SUCH a great track record.
I think the tariffs will do some good for the deficit, but why do we need 2 pages of dudes quibbling over napkin math & 10 year projections

They're comical, and to add to the comedy they're talking about tariffs that are essentially EOs and can be reversed the day he leaves office.
Or sooner, if patterns continue.

How much of the cost is the consumer going to bear?

How the frick can you post that number and not link where it came from?
it's in the OP. It's the entire premise of the "article". Watching y'all cheer the conclusion while attacking the premise is truly amazing.

People just do not realize how wealthy this country and its people are when we are able to turn off that trade deficit engine and its loud sucking sound.

From the CBO analysis:
quote:
The increases in tariffs will make consumer goods and capital goods (the physical assets that businesses use to produce goods and services) more expensive, which will reduce the purchasing power of U.S. consumers and businesses. Those increases in costs will put temporary upward pressure on inflation.
How is this possible? Consumers will be paying MORE? I was told this is impossible!

Seems like what you are talking about invalidating is not what the OP said but what the CBO said.

I was commenting on him bringing up one example of the goalless, malleable nature of this from MAGA. There are no stated goals and they shift for every story and new piece of data.
