Sotomayor grilling Blanch about using tariffs to raise revenue....plenty of evidence of trump bragging about how much revenue he's bringing in

Tariffs are toast

He’ll keep coming up with new emergencies to employ new tariffs and they’ll keep dragging him back to court, which could take years.

So why bother? 

For the exact same reason why the budget deal to get heat and food and flights back, need to fight for your political ideas.

He almost changed my mind on tariffs, but not quite. If used aggressively like he is, the USA can get better deals and force business to find ways to absorb costs. Problem is, it pisses off your allies over and over.

So how do you offset the cost so us the consumers don’t take the hit? American businesses don’t want to absorb any more costs to them period they are in business to make a profit no?

I don’t think I said I support the tariffs, just that business will absorb some costs. Was it not Goldman that estimated importers and exporters will absorb nearly 80?

My comment was more from the judicial perspective. It’s going to be difficult for courts to legislate when and where trade emergencies exist, every time he claims one. Courts are slow to respond, he can issue an EO 24/7.
