FYI- If we want to lower inflation then tarrifs might do the opposite, it might increase prices instead!

I think it might increase gas, food, and goods like tv's etc.

Example! If we buy maple syrup from Canada and Canada has a tariff then Canada will increase their prices on Maple syrup and we have to pay more for that maple syrup!

Thats correct tarriffs make the product cost more for the consumer. Tarriffs are supposed to make domestic products more attractive to the consumer bc those demostic products are cheaper by comparison.
Its unlikely to work but what else do we expect from a post retirement age (con man)

@jehova if the tariff on Canada goes into effect , expect record maple syrup sales from Vermont . Just like you said .

@AthrillatheHunt vermont only has so much capacity. Expect maple syrup shortages nation wide.

@AthrillatheHunt expect more corn syrup knock-offs.
