What domestic sources?

Tariffs would create incentives to open domestic factories, even a < expletive deleted > like you should understand that.

Oh really? Recreating the domestic consumer electronics manufacturing industry and the textile industry and the furniture industry and all the other industries, basically from scratch since the all went virtually extict years and years ago, would require tens of billions in investments and years of time. Who is going to pay for that? Especially when they can just continue to import from China and pass the tariff along to the consumers? And especially since the next administration can come along and remove those tariffs with a stroke of a pen? Who will you find that will take that financial risk? And where are the U.S. consumers better off since the purpose of tariffs is to artificially inflate prices so domestic manufacturers can compete? Either way, U.S. consumers will see the price of their goods go up.

It didn't take me that long to find the flaw in your "logic" and I'm nothing but an < explative deleted >. Pretty good, huh?
