Sad to say, pain is an effective means of reinforcing a learning experience. Trump supporters may not be the first to understand this in the abstract, but they will come to learn about it firsthand. I wish this weren't so, because it comes at the price of genuine disaster for everyone. To the rest of the world, Americans seem terribly naive. They haven't suffered, as Europeans among others suffered, through two world wars. Europeans consequently understand the price of conflict, and conversely the value of cooperation, however difficult that may be to negotiate. It's because the pain is still fresh. We don't want to go through anything like that again. And, it turns out, we don't need to. We've grown up. Americans haven't, it seems. Not a sufficient majority, at any rate.

Conclusion after tariff, the consumer pays more to the state 10.00 dollars and to the seller 4.5 dollars. Another 14.5 dollars for the consumer. 100 + 45% = 145.00 100 + 10% + 45% = 159.50

What he didn't talk about is how Tariffs make it so that people are less inclined to buy a product from China now that it costs the same as one made in America. This keeps the money here instead of sending it abroad meaning more money in our economy. More and more companies have been outsourcing their production to cheap labor countries. They will now be more inclined to move production back to America when customers aren't willing to pay the extra costs that Tariffs cause.

The reason we have trade deficits with many countries is because we don't make the products both our consumers, and overseas consumers, either want, or can afford. And much of the reason that has occurred has been corporate offshoring of manufacturing. Once that was done all the intellectual property and manufacturing expertise has gone with it. We are a country that has allowed our richest co.s to shoot us all in the foot.
