Nice to read a well reasoned vanity.
Her blather about price gouging was based on - nothing. She never gave any evidence that gouging was occurring and that consumer price increases wee anything other than inflation produced by Biden-Harris economic policy.
As an economist, I’d be interested in your take on some of Trump’s remarks about shifting some of the burden of paying for the federal government from income taxes to tariffs.
I’m not a big fan of tariffs. Also, these appear to be protective tariffs aimed at specific industries (e.g., Chinese EV sales). I would rather see a Flat Tax with rates fixed at 17% on income (Milton Friedman’s suggested rate) and 15% on corporations (again, Friedman). That low rate would cause domestic producers to produce in the US rather than setting up plants outside the US. It would also encourage foreign investments to produce in the US as well. Those expanding or new producers would generate more sources for collecting corporate taxes. Also, the lower tax would encourage lower prices which benefit consumers.
