Great but for the right reasons. I can see slowly increasing tariffs over time if you want to encourage more things being built here. Give companies a chance to gear up. You toss out giant tariffs all at once you just make prices skyrocket. You have a problem with the border tariffs aren’t the answer. We barely check outgoing people, vehicles, and goods so by the same logic Mexico should be placing tariffs on us. We had a bill out of the senate that would help stop drugs and guns at the border but idiot boy stopped that. Tons of cocaine comes by boat to Florida. Why isn’t that a problem?
