Tariffs

[Vagitarian]

Any ideas on what effect the 'more severe tariffs' will have once enacted? And how will whatever happens affect our lives?
I am not trying to start an argument, just gathering opinions for comparison later.

Tariffs will undoubtedly raise prices. Trump will try to sell it as 'best for the country in the long run.'
Ironic that the general public voted him in on reducing inflation and he will increase it, being congratulated by people like MTG and Lauren Handjobber. With that said, I wouldn't mind sitting next to Lauren at a play or in a movie - MTG? Not so much. Eeuwww!!!

Unless consumers finally wake up and start to consume less, or start to consume responsibly. A lot of the Chinese goods subject to the tariffs are things on Amazon or at Costco we probably shouldn't be consuming much anyway, given the state of global pollution and resource depletion.

If we buy less, demand falls, and guess what, SO DO PRICES.

Fingers crossed. We need a recession to clean out all the gunk in the economy even more than a middle-aged bar fly needs a colonoscopy.

Hope you are one of the first to lose your job- then have to search for another in a recession.. be careful what you wish for.

No pain, no gain...

There are way too many 'zombie companies' living off debt and way too many pharma companies with pipelines unlikely to meet primary endpoints...chickens are bound to come home to roost.

Besides, for me personally, as a healthcare fraud and abuse lawyer, business is booming!

And it may not involve simply 'choosing' to buy less. Here's an interesting thought from the guy who wrote The Big Short:

Back to the topic - Tariffs:

Our current President says April 2nd is Liberation Day:
Donald Trump has taken a shine to the term "liberation day" as a shorthand for his coming reciprocal tariff plans.
"April 2 is liberation day for our country because we're finally going to be taking in money," he said Monday during a stop at the Kennedy Center.
He brought it up again Friday in the Oval Office, saying, "We have been ripped off by every country in the world, friend and foe."
All told, Trump has used a version of the term at least six times this past week in a reflection of how central tariffs have become to his second-term vision and how, in his mind, this liberation theme encapsulates his plans.
He used "liberation day" language previously in his inaugural address, but then he was looking at Jan. 20, the day he took the oath of office.
The now-in-focus April 2 trade deadline "has become something of a catch-all date for tariff rate hikes from the White House," Henrietta Treyz of Veda Partners said this past week, noting that headline risk for markets and new duties for importers are likely around that day.

So, with tariffs coming in to provide us enough income to offset the resulting price increases, when do we stop deducting withholding from our incomes so we can actually meet these new expenses head on?
