So, $0.06 more per six pack is going to cause 20,300 layoffs? I doubt that. The way i see it is the extra $340,000,000 in cost will generate more federal revenue. Also, with higher demand for domestic aluminum, US plants will hire more workers and expand plants to meet demand.

Another idiot. The way you see it is wrong. Plants cannot be “expanded” overnight and will cost millions of $ to do. Each. The amount of aluminum imported cannot be made up for with simple expansions- it will require additional factories, which take months to build and cost more.
-
Additional factories, additional workers...sounds like America is growing again and bringing jobs back to me.

You can go pay for the factories, build them overnight, and explain to their shareholders why they don’t get any return for the next ten years.

Of course the beer industry could give two shits about our own aluminum industry and in an instant comes up with bullshit job loss figures.
-
You don’t seem to get it. Aluminum has been imported for YEARS because it’s so much cheaper. The plants don’t exist to create the volume needed to make up the difference. Do you think plants pop up overnight and cost nothing to build? Typical uneducated Trumpster.

A few outcomes. Beer will be a fractionally more expensive to the consumer. Bottles will be in a bit higher demand. Companies will create thinner flimsier cans at a lower cost.

Really not a big issue as cost will simply be added on to the resale cost of the finished product but... The long term issues are what is more of a concern with the potential of Trade wars.

The concern is tariffs can do more harm than good.
