for proving theoretically in 1936 that an import tariff was equivalent to a tax on exports

I remember in college when one om teachers "proved theoretically" that elephants could fly if they flapped their ears hard enough.

If US tariffs are bad for the US economy, why is no one discussing why country X’s current and retaliatory tariffs are bad for X’s economy?

Maybe someone can tell me what successful business(es) that the writer started and/or ran and how he became a multi-millionaire, billionaire. I’d like to know how he did it.

Harley Davidson sales have been plummeting for two years. Not to say the tariffs didn’t hurt them more. But they were on their way to another bankruptcy

[Migraine]

Cute little headline; but in the real world, tariffs overall will be going down. EVERYONE needs us more than we need them. That’s called “sitting in the catbird seat”, “playing with house money”.

[RoseofTexas]

Here we go..THE FEAR MANTRA...buckle up!!! This will be the new scare tactic from the globalists. The sky is falling mediapukes will spew this 24/7 from here until the midterm election! They’re going to do their darndest to destroy the economy! Remember they don’t care if all hell breaks loose in America they want their power back! Come hell or high water!!

Several Valley business owners say they are already experiencing the pinch from the Trump Administration’s tariffs on imported materials.

Anna Martin, co-owner of Martin’s Steel in Mifflinburg, said the cost of aluminum has risen about 45 percent and steel has gone up about 30 percent since the tariffs took effect last month.

Mike Dupuy, a Middleburg falconer who invented and builds hawk houses and aviaries out of steel and aluminum, said the tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum have added as much as 21 percent to the cost.

He’s raising prices and said there’s been a noticeable slowdown in sales.

“People that would have bought are now hesitating. We’re losing business,” Dupuy said. “For small businesses like us, the tariffs are making a difference.”

They are for Leon Martin, owner of Orchard Hill Welding in Millmont, who said he’s losing contracts he usually would secure because of the higher cost.

Frank Leto, publisher of The Daily Item and The Danville News, said tariffs imposed on Canadian newsprint producers is causing “considerable harm” to U.S. publishers, particularly those in the Northeast that rely on Canadian newsprint.

This area went about 70-30 for Trump in 2016.

Instead of "fair trade" which seems to be a complex notion for some, the new talking point should be "We will match other country's tariffs." So if Canada has a 200% tariff on dairy, we will match it. If they have a 0% tariff on cars, we will match that too! I think there are too many people with the idea (no idea where they get wrong-headed ideas from ;^)) that these tariffs are punitive and other country's don't have tariffs on everything.

Try to find something in an electronics store that is made in the USA!!! Or for that matter about 80% of all the crap in Wal-Mart. I am confident that the Chinese will give in when push comes to shove. And I am a Farmer and yes the price drops for my commodities hurts but the Chinese have manipulated the market to their advantage for decades and it is time for it to stop!!!

Who’s the biggest loser when tariffs are imposed on imports? The surprising answer: exporters. Though completely counterintuitive, theory and evidence show that taxes on imports act just like a tax on exports.

We're not supposed to be able to step outside of the author's imposed domestic bubble in our thinking, as if the United States is an island and such observations only apply here.

But, what the author says is true. And so, step outside his bubble. Which nation is by far dependent upon exports, the United States or China? The United States or Germany, or even the EU as a whole?

And what is the primary export market for these predominantly exporting nations? Why, I'll be, it's the United States.

[Alas Babylon!]

Whenever the media; journalists, blogs, videos, articles, newspapers TV news—whoever—brings up this issue and doesn’t mention Trump’s promise to force free trade, I think are liars with an agenda, rather than simple purveyor of the news.

Tell the truth!

There should be at least one sentence of the President wanting the other country to drop a tariff, protection, subsidy, safeguard, whatever.

Why?

Because it is the truth! It’s his reason for all this.

Now, media types, you can argue against his reason, or say he’s wrong, but...

To simply leave that out is deceitful as best and just plain old lying at worse. Fake News!

[DoodleDawg]

Why is that a surprise? Tariffs imposed by us will result in retaliatory tariffs against our exports. That will cost exporters business. It isn’t rocket science.

[Grampa Dave]

Do you get paid for posting each POS Fake news from the WSJ?

Your hatred of President Trump is eating you up!

Exactly, which is why China and China exporters will be hurt the hardest

"I keep asking the establishment shills why America has some moral obligation to tolerate foreign countries imposing higher tariffs upon us than we impose upon them. Seems facially unfair, right? So, there’s got to be a really good reason because how can you support our working people facing a higher obstacle to trade than the foreigners do? I’m just wondering what’s wrong with a level playing field. Fair is fair, right? But I never get a good answer."

This will be Trumps biggest blunder. Just in time for the midterm elections.

What was he thinking?
