What people don't think through with regard to tariffs is the unseen consequence of their actions. They see the good part: More steel worker jobs. That part works and it is beneficial - to steel workers.
What they don't see is that it is not beneficial to auto makers who now pay more for their steel, sell fewer cars and layoff workers.
Is there a net good here? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Fewer cars are sold. That affects you and me.
The other factors that are not really considered are:
What products should have a tariff applied?
How high should that tariff be in percent?
Those are hard questions that you are willing to entrust to politicians. Not me. They will favor their friends and their pocketbooks just like they always do. They can be bought. They can be bribed. And they will be.
So, if you think tariffs are a good idea, take out a pen and start writing down a list of products that should have tariffs, those that shouldn't and the amounts to apply. Not an easy job. When you are done ask yourself how much better or worse off you will be. Unless you are a steel worker or other benefited person you will be worse off.
Not reading the rest of your Free Traitor™ screed. The founding fathers were stupid? You are the jack wagon here. F off.
