Do you think congress may have forgotten how their job works? Like I remember learning the importance of congress in middle school. Power of purse and all that. Why is the congress petitioning the president for legislation? Can we please replace the congressmen who don’t understand what their job description is? Every day in the news its just “Legislator asking someone else to do their job” “Legislature confused on how laws are made” “legislator claiming the presidents office is just better at making laws”
TLDR tariffs have always existed to protect people like Elon Musk from having to compete with the hard working people of china. They are not beneficial to the working class unless you’re only focused on your countries working class, and not the global working class. Since it is a consumption tax the burden is unevenly spread upon the poor and working class who are living on fixed budgets that don’t have room for price changes. It’s easily paid by the rich and disproportionately hurts the poor.
