Forget it….

You speak with such conviction…
I own a small business and I indeed flourished all through Covid. Anecdotal perhaps but not all small businesses were crushed.
Certainly so. I don’t know what the data says, but I wonder if the restaurant industry has fully recovered.
 
What a moron. China doesn't have inflation? The government ultimately controls the economy and prices in China. MAGA is grasping at straws. Tariffs don't raise prices? Rand Paul disagrees. Utterly ridiculous. Trust Donald Trump? The man who made up phony tariff rates to justify his insane policies. The man who golfs while the country burns. This is the beginning of the end of MAGA.

You’re correct. That’s completely anecdotal.

Must protect.
 
I'm curious as to what people think are the better alternatives. I'm of a mind that the status quo in unsustainable. I think a consumption-driven trade deficit somewhere in the range of $800B to $1T plus is unsustainable, and regressive. I think the strategic vulnerabilities that we got a brief exposure to during covid are way to serious to ignore. After a few generations now, attempts to bring China into the "family of nations" have not transformed them into a noble and upstanding partner and free society. I don't like tariffs either. We seem to have a lot of expertise on what not to do here. But realistically, what are the alternatives that will make for meaningful long-term changes?
