Enough with this idiocy! You have the power of the purse - USE IT! Is there no one in Washington willing to stand up and say what anyone who took an introductory economics class knows? These tariffs are going to be inflationary, will cause businesses and consumers to go into defensive mode anticipating recession, and will further alienate our allies. I haven’t heard one cogent argument as to how tariffs will benefit our economy. Less than 80 days ago our economy was the envy of the world, with record low unemployment, inflation almost tamed, and a stock market at all-time highs. In less than three months this administration has destroyed our standing on the world stage, shuttered entire agencies, and is now in the process of needlessly crashing the economy. Do your job!
