Tarriffs Make Consumers Poorer
Trump's arguments ignore the fact that protectionist policies always distort the economy at the expense of consumers. As Murray Rothbard explained, protectionism hurts consumers by limiting competition, which benefits "inefficient" domestic firms… pic.twitter.com/OpCbGNfBGX

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REAGAN REPUBLICANS⁉️

They, including Trump, love to claim his name, but Reagan would be far too liberal for today’s GOP.

Ronald Reagan strongly opposed tariffs and trade wars, believing they hurt consumers and stifled economic growth. His vision was rooted… pic.twitter.com/lb4bU67JQU

Milton Friedman on Tariffs

“The harm which a tariff does is invisible, it’s spread widely, there are people who don’t have jobs because of the tariff, but they don’t know they don’t have jobs.”

My friend and mentor Nobelist Milton Friedman on tariffs:

"Suppose Japan & Europe do impose protectionist tariffs. That hurts them, it hurts us. If we turn around and impose protectionist tariffs on them…it doesn’t make any sense."

Trump's Tariff plan is a mistake. Don't believe me? Listen to Milton Friedman.

Here is a video of him in 1980 using the pencil as an example to argue for the power of free markets and limited government interference.

The lesson is that the complexity of creating even a simple… pic.twitter.com/9BCk4RGrhW

The late, great Milton Friedman on the foolishness of trade protectionism and tariffs.

We covered this ground decades ago.

His work should be mandatory reading for conservatives on both sides of the border. https://t.co/sGfr42qQXi

Don't be fooled by the simplistic "buy American" BS. It is truly about our freedom to buy what we want. Government should not choose winners and losers or exporters over importers... But, be shocked and take a look at this list below of the "most American cars." Honda and many other foreign companies will be a huge beneficiary over "American companies" all at the expense of higher prices for the productive middle class. (Most "American cars" are made with Chinese parts, their prices will be going up just as much or more...)

Click here: The "Most American" car list!

Tariffs can be a good bargaining chip but is a dangerous game in the long run.

"Tariffs raise the price of things made overseas, but they also raise the price of things made at home because they use imported raw materials and parts."

If we consult the lamentable anals of mankind, all governments however free in their origin have in the end degenerated into despotism. Vigilance is the price we must continually pay....
