What is (are) the objective(s) of the tariffs? Payback to the countries that have been screwing us? Replacement/elimination of the income tax? [Tariffs won't produce enough unless government spending is drastically reduced.] Reduction of the income tax? [Fine while Trump is here, but after what the tax rates creep back up.] Meanwhile, the stock market has the jitters and trillions of dollars have been lost-- real bad news for retirees and soon to be retired. Prices on foreign made or sourced goods will increase and American businesses selling abroad will see less profit (not good in a shaky economy). What will the end result be? How long will we have to sacrifice? No doubt, some things must be changed as we are on a suicide course. If we end up in serious recession, nobody will benefit. I have no answers, but questions that don't seem to be answered.
