I suppose you could announce tariffs which will take place 5 years down the line? And ramp it up over time?
- judge2020 4y agoCongress offloads imposing tariffs to the executive branch, so they'd need to take it back to do that. Otherwise, it's just a countdown for the industry to donate enough to the opposing political party's PACs to get them in office and repeal the looming tariffs. ie. the current bill only passed because both political parties are fine with giving companies government money.
