Don't get excited just yet
There is a couple of reasons why these new tariffs are really going to screw up things here at home. While I agree that the world has been screwing us for years and we do need to rebalance the trade table, it will not work this way by simply raising tariffs. Why? Because American companies for the last 20 years instead of dumping the exorbitant amount of bottom line profits back into the company, manufacturing, modernizing OR employee pool have given 95% of those profits back to corporate shareholders in big dividends and buy back programs. So basically even at this point any money raised by the tariffs in extra revenue is going to leak into the pockets of the rich while the cost of living and inflation continues to rise on the poor. It is a money grab by the rich to get richer and nothing to actually help us regular people. Don't drink the Kool-Aid don't buy into the bullshit it is a money grab disguised as patriotic policy
