Making more things in the US means lower prices and more people employed earning taxable income and bringing people out of poverty or off Welfare, making the government cheaper to run and taxes go further down, making it even cheaper to produce and buy things across the US. Stopping illegals from coming over while kicking out the others will help reduce crime and reduce more Welfare use.
Two can play this game.
Making more quality things in the US.
The quality has to be there. I hope it is and am optimistic that it will be.
I am a supporter of tariffs in principle, but I believe this is verifiably false.
Can you think of a single U.S.-made product or service that has gotten less expensive over time?
If anything, it’s the exact opposite — where the highest price inflation rates can be found in sectors with little or no foreign competition.
Transitioning people from welfare to work would be huge. Also, sending someone with a degree in say, womyn’s studies, to an assembly line, rather than to the CIA would be huge.
Opening up forestry in the Pacific northwest would make a large contribution as well. Putting TESLA vandalizers in orange jumpsuits cleaning up litter on the side of the road would be a plus to society.
These considerations, and others, would mean more goods chasing dollars. Inflation is not a foregone conclusion.
Let’s not forget that we had a lot of inflation in the Biden years. Inflation is not desired. However, a double standard should not be accepted. AFAIC, if inflation with Trump as President is less than inflation with Biden as President, it’s a win.
