Never took a course in economics? As the price of Chinese goods rises, consumers will prefer competitive products rather than pay the higher price. This will mean to keep its market share and jobs back in China, Chinese manufacturers will have to lower their prices to accommodate the tariffs. Americans will be well served both as consumers and taxpayers. Clearly, good news for America is seen as bad news by Democrats while Trump is in the WH.My mistake, but the principle is the same. Chinese exports are less competitive as compared with exports from other countries or domestic products and the Treasury is receiving billions of dollars from the tariffs. Either way, it is a win for America; either the Treasury receives billions of dollars from the tariffs or China opens its markets to US companies and that will create even more economic growth and more jobs. As usual, good news for America is seen as bad news by the Democrats while Trump is in the WH.
Yes, the principle is the same, the Treasury is receiving billions of dollars in taxes from our own citizens, just the sort of thing a statist like you would think is a good thing.
