Do you consider the tariffs to be a (tax) burden on US citizens?
- maxwell 1y agoOnly on those who buy imports.
- neogodless 1y agoThis seems to assume that everything can be imported or acquired domestically. But tariffs implemented in other countries are much more specific. It makes sense to use tariffs when you have the capability to meet your domestic demand with domestic supply. Indiscriminate tariffs catch things where demand far exceeds domestic production, whether that's raw materials, specific foods, or things that will take a long time to ramp up production domestically. Ultimately, lots of things manufactured domestically will still increase in price because of the raw materials they require.
