Confirmed: American businesses and consumers are paying 'approximately 100%' of Trump tariff costs

But everyone knew this was going to be the case. A huge tax increase.

Its an optional tax. If you BUY AMERICAN there is no tax.

That's great outside of the majority of cases where there is no option.

But really not the point now is it?

Meanwhile, child porn on Krugman's computer.

Yeah, that economic theory was a total success. He can stimulate the economy behind bars now.

And yet the economy is still booming. Is it just me, or does anybody else not notice a price increase on anything?

Tariffs help American competition, and that helps with job creation. Yet the left never seems to complain when increased minimum wages increase prices, and the left also thinks that when you raise taxes on industry, the consumer doesn't actually pay those taxes.

But no complaints about who pays for that minimum wage or corporate taxes.

When do you suppose Trump will learn how tariffs work?

He said that China was paying them, not that consumers could avoid them (not that they can in many cases).

Wonder how much screaming there will be after Trump puts tariffs on imported cars, what he refers to as "the mother lode" of tariff income?

That would be tough to do since a portion of those cars are actually made in the US. They would simply quit importing them and start more manufacturing here in the states.

Been some time since I purchased any of those products. Is the price increase because of tariffs or because labor is getting more expensive due to the economy?

During the tech bubble which was also inflated by the Fed all kinds of places were hirering. They weren't making any money but they sure hired. Until it popped.

Bubbles are different. All bubbles pop. Bubbles are misleading and phony. The tech bubble was phony, and so was the housing bubble. There is no bubble today. We just have a strong steady economy.

During the tech bubble, people were waking up in the morning as millionaires. People were turning over houses making hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. It was clear then, just as it's clear today, that such a party can't last forever. It's making as much money while you can, and getting out before you get slaughtered.
