    You’re only looking at and mentioning the short term effect, not any long term effects, and then criticizing others for the same thing. The long term effect is inefficient businesses like your spouses company shuts down, and local production increases at all levels.

    Global ecomonies are incompatible with life on Earth, as we have learned.

      That’s a wild claim. Can you back that up with any data that shows tariffs always increase local jobs and income?

        It’s a wild claim that companies that have to pay fair value for their materials and labor either close or find more local resources to continue operation?
