Tariffs promote domestic industry and raise revenue. The proof is the last 50 years of almost no tariffs at all. We got offshoring and deficits. Tariffs and the lack of tariffs cant do the same thing. One on shores and the other doesn’t. Get it? No you don’t. So don’t bother responding.
Tariffs are a tool, but a weak one, in how they’re being implemented. It’s been chaotic, to say the least, and focused more on targeting countries, than the multinational companies that are offshoring. They will just continue to move their operations to the next country, verses bringing it back home. Right now it’s the logistics companies, and the consumer, being hit harder than these multinationals.
