Why Trump Is Wrong & Alexander Hamilton Was Right About Tariffs - Thom Hartmann

[Rhiannon12866]

The main goal of a tariff is to encourage Americans to buy the products of domestic — rather than foreign — manufacturing. For that to work, companies that may consider investing billions in factories here in the US need to know that the tariffs aren’t just a whim or election stunt like they were with Trump, but will be around for the coming years or even decades necessary to recover their initial billion-dollar investments in new manufacturing facilities. - Aired on 09/17/2024.
