NAILS it with this new piece. If you care about the future prosperity of America, you should be very concerned about how Wall Street helps funnel investment to the Chinese Communist Party through U.S. capital markets.
“America is your family. America is your faith. America is your community. That's America. That's what our adversaries don't understand, & that's what we need to remember. That’s how we're going to rebuild this country & turn the page & have a future even brighter than our past.”
Economists like
@JustinWolfers
will tell you that if $100B in tariffs are imposed, American consumers will pay $100B in higher prices. In fact, most models ASSUME that.
The problem? It never happens. Just ask them to name one product where this has occurred. They can’t.
There's an economic lesson here for non-economists: Higher tariffs will raise the prices you face.
And there's a meta lesson for economists: Telling a story in more human terms can make the insights of our models more digestible.
The director of economic policy at a think tank in D.C. doesn’t think we—the United States—should want to be a leader in manufacturing.
Just incredible…
