Inefficiency is a "tax" for sure. But you have to count American unemployment in that calculation too.

I disagree with Adams (and Trump), but you and Boudreaux are missing his narrow point.
-
I understand his point, and it's incorrect to suggest that it's not a tax on consumers if no companies move.
@ScottAdamsSays -
OK...but it's more like "threat" causing higher prices. By saying "still a tax" I thought you missed his point.
-
My point is that the existence of a tariff increases prices even if no companies move. Govt action causes it, hence tax.

I see from your header photo that you're a fan of the musical Hamilton--a great man who understood the value of a tariff!

would it be more fair to say the tariff would prevent prices from dropping, rather than increasing current prices?
-
tariff would make prices rise. Companies will pass off cost to consumer
-
but best argument for tariffs, is that more jobs and higher wages (more $$$ for ppl) will lead to more consumer spending
-
or higher inflation
-
The inflation aspect is eluding people here. Y'all realize this can halt growth, right?
-
why would this lead to widespread inflation? Fed is about to decrease money supply
-
Yes, and the resulting higher interest rates will slow down growth. More inflation -> even further reduced money supply
-
if it slows down growth, why would there be more inflation?? Inflation occurs more when growth in economy is large
