A disaster for international corporations in the short term. Long term tariffs will save American industry. It's a matter of who wins and who loses.

Just curious to see if you know the answer to these three questions:

Who pays the tariff tax?
Who collects and spends the tariff tax?
Why not just ban an import rather than putting a tariff on it?

The debate that we should be having, but seem incapable of having, is whether the temporary inflation caused by protectionist tariffs are worth the added economic activity, decreased or no trade deficits, balanced Federal budgets, much lower unemployment, less social stress and increased national security they begat. It is a debate only adults can have but not doctrinaire Free Traitors™ who all seem like childish incompetents incapable of anything that goes against their false religion of free trade. Other countries have this debate all the time but not in the USA.
