There are more jobs in the U.S. that are dependent on steel as an input than there are steel producing jobs. Higher steel costs drive up costs to consumers, which means lower sales, which means layoffs. Or to keep costs down, companies must trim costs by laying off workers and increasing automation.
The tariff on Canadian wood pulp is already costing jobs. For example, newsprint costs for the Buffalo News have increased by $1 million a year. As a result, nine newsroom positions are being eliminated.
The same will happen in other industries.
There is nothing pro-American or conservative about tariffs. Don't believe me? How about Ronald Reagan:
ha ha well due to the recent tax cuts, we are all suppose to get an increase in pay along with a bonus, so now we can all afford to pay a higher tax on imported goods. See that? makes sense doesn't it. ? MAGA
Sometimes tariffs are appropriate, such as when a foreign country unduly subsidizes an industry.
However, the tariffs coming into play are the results of mindless "intuition" of a person who never lets facts get in the way of anything. I cannot agree with those, and though I may not be willing to pay higher tariffs, I am stuck with them.
