Bad news. When you oppose tariffs, it is an economic fact that you lose efficiency, and domestic consumers (in this case other businesses) lose income that could be used towards investment in other areas.

When you [im]pose tariffs, it is an economic fact that you lose efficiency, and domestic consumers (in this case other businesses) lose income that could be used towards investment in other areas.

Could you cite some economic facts that support this claim?

And is it the interests of the consumer we should be pursuing, or the economic viability of American industries?
