America needs to kill the public sector unions, bring corporate taxes down, cut all the red tape crap that prevents businesses from starting up in America, etc.
Tariffs simply tell the world one thing. America can no longer compete in the global marketplace. Instead they can only play on home turf.
What it will mean is that the average customer will see greater inflation, greater waste, and the standard of living for Americans will go down.
Then what do you do? Dropping the tariffs means that you’re exposing inefficient businesses to market forces again. Raise them even higher?
