In fact, the tariff revenue ranks as the largest increase as a percent of GDP since 1993 when compared with the first year of all the revenue measures enacted since then, according to the data.
Only the revenue raised in the fourth year of the Affordable Care Act is greater, but not by much.

The funniest part of your rant is 24mo ago you would’ve laughed at it.
We’ve known who pays tarriffs for hundreds of years, but since Trump says otherwise!
(When he’s not admitting what everyone already knows)

If America wants inept leaders again, vote Dem
But I also realize it’s gonna depend on who Dems put on the ticket as should you.

Is that winning?
Depends on what the goal is.
If the idea is that my town is just a market and its citizens are nothing more than consumers then it is clear that having to pay $3 more for a loaf of bread is not winning.
But if the goal is more jobs, better paying jobs, more investment in my community then it most likely (not certainly) winning. As in there is either more tax revenue or more business for the bakery in my town - or some combination. There could also be less purchases of bread - which then it would matter where that money is going. If it goes to savings or purchases in-town then that goes towards winning. If it just spent on something else manufactured outside of twon then no winning.

They are absorbing the costs of the tariffs instead of passing the full costs on to the consumer.
As anyone with an understanding of economics said they would.
The market price is the market price. If someone is only willing to pay $100 for a pair of shoes, they won't all of the sudden pay $120 just because of tariffs.They will buy a different brand of cheaper shoes, or they will just not buy shoes at that time. This forces the manufacturer to either absorb the tariff, or lose the sale.
The critics who said that all of the prices would just increase are morons. Sure, some prices did increase, as some markets are not as competitive and some brands are able to demand premium prices. But most markets are not able to pass on all of the tariffs.

If so, why arent Chinese importers raising prices before tariffs? Trade wars and long term tariffs absolutely affect "market prices."
They sure are leaving lots of money on the table.

I think the issue that most people recognize with Trump's "strategy" is that it isn't predictable at all. Not to the point where any of the goals of the tariffs will come to fruition. Why would a company invest billions in onshoring when the tariffs are subject to change at any time?

"Chinese importers" is a very wide category of manufacturer and product.
Some are and some are not. It depends on the product and the market.

I don't disagree with your point. My comments were only addressing pricing as related to tariffs. Many markets are not able to add tariffs, and thus the manufacturer must eat them. Some are able to.

I'm not sure what point you think you are making.
The markets are pretty fine-tuned. Companies generally sell for what the market will bear. Whether they raise prices to accommodate tariffs or other market pressures is a decision that varies by company, based on many factors.

The more meddling govt does, the less "tuned" it becomes and less responsive to traditional stimuli.
You cant fix dysfunction by doubling down on more dysfunction.

Bjorn Cyborg,
You do know that you're having a discussion with a guy that likes to buy high and sell low, correct?
