Only simpletons think in static term, and such low IQ people shouldn’t make policy.
Tariffs for what goods, exactly? Goods we should be producing ourselves. Companies cheat Americans by buying cheaper goods overseas and bringing them here.
What American is going to afford these goods if they do not have a job because their company fired them to buy from overseas? When you have no money, those cheaper imports are far more expansive than tariffed goods when you have a job.
Imports are a tax on Americans.
When was the last time a company moved production to Mexico and advertised -
"Now made in Mexico!! We are slashing prices 10%!!"
Well, never.
