Educate yourself: https://www.atlantafed.org/-/media/documents/research/publications/policy-hub/2025/02/28/01--tariffs-and-consumer-prices.pdf So basically you’re arguing, based on that study, that the effects will be at most a 1.2% increase- effectively minimal. I don’t believe it. I’ve read several economists argue that this will be a significant tax on consumers. Here is Warren Buffett: https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/warren-buffett-says-tariffs-economic-act-war-tooth-fairy-doesnt-pay-em.amp Your study also doesn’t take into account the effects on our economy of the retaliatory tariffs which both Canada and Mexico have pledged to enact immediately after tomorrow. You’re not educating me. I’ve read such analysis before. The overwhelming number of economists have a much more dire view of this. But you know what? I hope you’re right.

Except that both Canada and Mexico asked the Trump administration very specifically what new steps we are demanding in terms of limiting fentanyl and they were given no answer. There appears to be no reason given for these new tariffs, no demands made and no discussion of how they will end. We had a trade deal with these two neighbors that Trump himself negotiated and called the greatest deal ever. Now he’s canceled it. Why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
