So what if I have to pay 35% more (Trump’s tariff) for junk from China if the benefit is a vastly better economy.

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.....

Free Traitors™ seem intellectually incapable of understanding that a factory making toaster ovens in the USA is way more stimulative than importing them and paying welfare to an idled workforce. Domestic competition exists and will hold down prices but you don’t get that.
