>>545717370Trump used tariffs the same way NYC mobsters used "construction permits" in the 60s and 70s. He demanded manufacturers and finishers return to the USA, then slapped tariffs on every material they need to actually rebuild their infrastructure. The tariffs were applied incorrectly so the money skimmed has to be given back to people on the take. Government gets blamed for the rising costs and delays, friends of the family keep the tariff money for themselves, the little guy gets fucked.

>>545717370No they didn't. "Official" inflation went down when the tariffs were live. Prices started ticking up after the fed began to increase its balance sheet and then the iran war made things worse.
