I am reminded of an old saying - “Every problem has a very simple answer ..... and it’s usually wrong”. Before we all leap onto the tariff bandwagon, it might be worth weighing the possible repercussions and unintended consequences.

Has anyone pondered the potential consequences of retaliation (which I guarantee will come as surely as night follows day)?

And, at the end of the day, why should we expect investment to be committed to domestic manufacturing when the major discouragement to such investment are the totally unpredictable and capricious effects of federal regulatory and political interventions into the economy. Who is crazy enough to invest in such an atmosphere?

That's the beauty of it, it is impossible for our trading partners to retaliate as they already tariff the hell out of everything made in the USA.
