There's textbooks and there's real world data. Tarrifs are not a new concept. We've invited you to show us the evidence of their effectiveness, and per usual, you are unable to do so
I’m aware you think timeframes of a couple of years is useful data. It is what it is.
Maybe you also think that tariffs increase prices based on retail prices like aces reference article he provided recently. You guys all think your finance experts but have limited to zero experience in a true finance roll and understand cost structures and supply chains.
When trump implements these policies and America thrives ill be here to laugh at you all just like the “Trump can’t win” comments.

Tarrifs have been around for a century, not a couple years. I invite you to post the evidence of their effectiveness, but expect you won't.
As for trumps magical socialist term, when should we expect to see the results?

Ok Cajun - let’s pretend the country wasn’t running on all cylinders before the ccp virus.

1. Im not sure what that has to do with my question. Seems like a deflection. You say a few years isn't enough time. So when should we expect to see the results? 2030? 2040? 3000?
2. If it were running on all cylinders thanks to the tarrifs, you should be able to post the evidence of the tarrifs working like you wanted. So far you've been unable to do so, but I understand your allergic to evidence of your claims
3. Trump was publicly calling for the fed to drop rates to negative yield in October 2019. That's not a sign of a healthy economy at all
I appreciate that you’re so dedicated to avoiding ‘appeal to authority’ fallacies that you fallaciously and baselessly appeal against authority.
Buddy, you don’t need to be on Wall Street to understand the basic concept that companies will not just take tariffs on the chin. When the price of importing goods goes up like this, they just raise the prices. It’s what they’ve always done. There are absolutely good reasons to promote domestic production, but you have to do it by incentivizing that production, not disincentivizing imports in a way that producers can just pass along to the customer.
I think this is one topic where Trump and his surrogates have warped your brain, because when it comes to economic policy, Sturg, Aces and I are strange bedfellows. I’m rather positive if Trump didn’t come out in support of these policies, you would label them anti-free market commie ****.

More immigrants aka ballers solves the debt to GDP ratio. Entirely without intention or foresight we have stumbled onto the solution.
As a bonus our cuisine will be enhanced. Don't sleep on Haitian cooking. With and without domestic animals.

Like the 41 ballers caught looting Hurricane victims?
Have you ever listed a specific baller or just refer to WaPo for it all?

Economists miss the mark...repeatedly.
