Oh, no! We won't be able to fill our landfills with cheap Chinese crap, and we're forced to become more thrifty. The horror.

The tariffs are the problem and not the ridiculous environmental bullshite regulations that have made our cars go from simple machines to ultra complicated computers on wheels? They’re unaffordable because of Dem policies in the first place, especially maintenance costs.

The key to Tariffs is they take time to become impactful for everyone across all industries.
Trump knows a plan with Tariffs to make us the greatest country by far while harvesting our own energy and letting Elon build a life on another planet. We have everything we need if we stay out of our own way. If he can run a successful 4 years and then pass it off to Vance we will be in great shape


Agreed. The path that brought us to being overly dependent on other countries for basic products didn't happen overnight, neither will the solutions.
Listen to Howard Lutnick explain how Trump will use tariffs. Below is a 3 minute video...

American firms and consumers paid the vast majority of the cost of Trump’s tariffs.
First off, that "tariff cost" is vastly overstated. E.g., In the case of China, assorted subsidy offsets are variably employed mitigating US consumer exposure. Brookings does not even bother to approximate that calculation.

Second, Brookings vaguely intimates assorted international retaliation to US tariffs without going into specifics. The insinuation is that US-foreign trade was an even playing field to begin with, and Trump unsettled it. In some cases, one could write-off such posits as simpleton or ignorant. In Brookings' case, it's a matter of partisan duplicity.

But again, why the spastic conniptions about tariffs?
Even assuming everything Brookings asserts is factually correct (as ridiculous as that would be), we are running prohibitive deficits atop massive debt.
Does that register?

Revenues have to come from somewhere to address our debt and deficit.
Does that register?

Sacrifices and cuts have to come from somewhere to address our debt and deficit.
Does that register?

Democrats (with whom Brookings is allied) proposed a 33% corporate tax increase as tariff alternative.

In fact, there is no anti-Tariff, rational justification for alternate US corporate tax increases. None.

So basically still no sources or details on your side. You've got one graph that tells a partial story and some opinions. Knowing your doctorate isn't in economics I think I'll stick with economists....

the entire economy is elevated when we start making our own stuff. keeping our money here, increasing the true middle class in this country.

We need manufacturing to come home on MANY things, (meds, necessity goods, safety concerned product “chips”) etc…

America First with Tariffs will lift our entire economy. ESPECIALLY MIXED IN WITH SUPER CHEAP OIL/GAS prices, and being a NET EXPORTER.

they will get rid of a ton of taxes with the tariff system.

and the country will be a better place. ONE CANNOT analyze it the way your analyzing it, its not the same.

Isn’t Trump eliminating federal income tax alongside tariffs too? Wouldn’t that in fact work out to having more money while also bringing business back to the states?

Would be a massive decrease in government revenue unless massive tarrifs re introduced...trump has zero plan to balance a budget or pay back debt...

Yet you also have provided zero details

Can you at least attempt to provide a number on how much we paid in taxes due to tarrifs

Build here instead of elsewhere and ship in.

Not that complicated.

While estimates vary, economic analyses suggest the average American household has paid somewhere from several hundred up to a thousand dollars or more per year thanks to higher consumer prices attributable to the tariffs

It's inflationary. Prices from US mfg will rise too.

It will run counter to any attempts to drive down costs, and will do little more than create jobs for immigrants

Your sources provide zero details. Its amazing how with all the info you have provided you cant answer a simple question

So we will ask again and we will witness you avoid it

How much more did we pay in "taxes" due to the mean tarrifs?

Refusing to even attempt a coherent answer

Its just the costs are passed on to the consumer per NBC

Per Brookings and every other economist I can find. Can you find a single source to backup your assanine tarrifs arent inflationary theories? Certainly haven't provided any counterpoints just trolling along adding zero value
