a 10% tariff on Chinese steel is a tax on the exporter who then raises the price by 10% which trickles down to the end user... us
not a tax? right, it's a price hike...

Who knew you were like an economic genius. So I assume like many other economists, you agree that trying to put price controls on our food supply is a disastrous idea. Adding $25,000 to selected new homebuyers increases the price of housing. Demanding 3 million new homes be bought requires taking control of local zoning commissions, and forces investors to look elsewhere to develop real estate. That there’s no such thing as cancelled student debt, it’s transferred the debt to taxpayers which reduces funds available for other programs, which in turn drives another tax increase. Hope Kamala doesn’t ask you to be an economic advisor. Otherwise you’d have to tell her to pound sand.
