Trade wars never really end, they just keep getting worse. Slapping tariffs on allies like Canada and Mexico is just asking for a backlash, and all it really does is make everything more expensive for regular people. Inflation’s already been rough, and now Americans are basically getting hit with a hidden tax. Meanwhile, businesses and other countries are watching this chaos and probably making plans to rely on the U.S. less. Everyone loses from this stupidity.
most the dumfuks that voted for the fucktard in a diaper still don’t understand this.
My question has always been “where the hell is that extra money gonna go?” It’s the government responsible for collecting the tariffs, which means it goes straight into their bottom line.
Short answer is it’s also going to be funneled straight to the rich via the tax breaks and subsidies.
