I’d rather have steady than a boom or the roller coaster we ride. Steady is probably not possible though since we have never seen it for longer than a very few years at a time and never without conflict.

I would like for you to be correct but I am skeptical. Tariffs are just another tax if they remain in force and are not just negotiating leverage. The only question about the tax of tariffs is who pays what part of them.

Booms never come without inflation and waste.

The other one you didn’t mention that tariffs would cause higher prices.

Agree that talking point you used is all over the place.And the one you didn’t use is all over the place.They’re easy enough to pick up and repeat.

The trouble is that neither are true. Prices are not rising. They’re falling. Tariffs are bringing in a lot of money to the federal treasury. So much so that for the first time there was a federal suplus in June. That’s unheard of.
