You're missing (or ignoring) the fact that cost matters to most consumers. Hence the prevalence of Chinese made goods.

Once the tarrifs go into effect the cost of the chicom-made goods will rise.

The Tucker household may be happy to pay more to buy American but the experience of the last 30 years says you're in the minority.

True. But then I only own USA-branded cars. I was taught that charity begins at home. If I buy chicom goods, not only do I put money in the pockets of our enemy, but I hurt the US manufacturer.

The semimojo household may be happy to give your hard-earned dollars to our enemies, and unfortunately, you are in the majority.

Or are you saying that the government should take away this consumer choice for the greater good?

Now I know you're a bleeding-heart liberal because only those losers attempt to put words in other peoples' mouths.

OK. In your words then.

What's the justification for tariffs that raise the cost to consumers against their will?
