Do you believe in price controls and tariffs?

Tariffs have been in the news a lot lately, a very fundamental part of President Trump of USA 🇺🇸 general economic strategy, but are they a good implement for the good of the people he is trying to represent?

Many are convinced that tariffs are a shot in your own foot, and using them as he is will never make America great again. Prices will go up and the federal coffers will be full and the people’s pockets emptier.

Used intelligently to protect critical domestic industries, they can form part of a rational trade policy. Used recklessly by a man who has no coherent industrial strategy, they will damage markets and ultimately be paid for by the American consumer.

@SunshineGirl Just like decades of unbalanced tariffs have affected us in seeing so many better paying jobs leave the country.

Rather pay to try to fix things than continue to pay for what we know is only working for other countries.
