Increasing the cost of consumer goods results in more savings? Who knew? People will consume less of imported goods while domestic suppliers come on line. Prices will eventually return to pre tariff levels with profit margins taking a hair cut.

Sure, they'll be consuming less imported goods. They'll have to cut back because they can't afford them after the tariff is tacked onto the price.
Domestic manufacturers may or may not step up and build new factories but unless and until they do it's going to be painful and no amount of lipstick is going to make that pig pretty.
