TED CRUZ: “TARIFFS ARE A TAX ON CONSUMERS… I’M NOT A FAN OF JACKING UP TAXES ON AMERICAN CONSUMERS. MY HOPE IS THAT THESE TARIFFS ARE SHORT-LIVED, AND SERVE AS LEVERAGE TO REDUCE TARIFFS ACROSS THE GLOBE”

Basing tariffs on our trade deficit with another country makes no sense. As Russ Latino notes:

“We will never have a trade surplus with a country that has workers making $2 a day because they don’t have the money to buy our stuff, which is expensive by comparison….” https://t.co/TSUTswmCHU

That’s why both Trump and Biden impose tariffs on foreign goods.
But tariffs seldom protect anyone… AND they screw consumers: pic.twitter.com/OhDE66ltF4
One Neocon gets it... 👏👏👏
This is so true. Tariffs are really nothing more than a tax increase on the American public. This is when I really miss Rush Limbaugh. Rush was always fond of saying, “No society can tax itself into prosperity.” It was true when he said it, it’s true now.

John Roberts & the elite... An obnoxious and malevolent combination...
Chief Justice John Roberts spent a week living at Norm Eisen's 150-room palace in the Czech Republic where they "worked on American and European Rule of Law issues together." Eisen was Ambassador 2011-2014. Roberts became Chief Justice in 2005. This was while Roberts ran SCOTUS. pic.twitter.com/u7YZazt7Re

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

“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.”

Don't be fooled by the simplistic "buy American" BS. It is mainly about our freedom to buy what we want without government artificially raising prices across the board. Government should not choose winners and losers or exporters over importers...
Tariffs can be a good bargaining chip but is a dangerous game in the long run.
