You obviously did not read my post.

China ALREADY - RIGHT NOW charges a 500-600% tariff on our goods.

So what if I have to pay 35% more (Trump’s tariff) for junk from China if the benefit is a vastly better economy. Not to mention having the industrial capacity to wage world war if necessary.

I don’t buy the ‘poor consumer’ argument.

Increasing revenue to the federal government, by taking it out of the private economy in the form of increased taxes, is how we create a vastly better economy?

The idiocy that passes for economic literacy these days.....
