Targeted temporary tariffs work best when you’re trying to develop an industry to catch up, such as Biden’s EV tax incentives to more quickly grow a larger market, infrastructure spending to speed buildout of chargers, manufacturing incentives to help legacy automakers transition, and a years long transition that manufacturers could plan around.
You're giving biden the benefit of the doubt. You trust him.
I see a man who spent an entire year knowingly selling weapons for a genocide. I do not trust him. I do not give him the benefit of the doubt. As far as I'm concerned, the tariffs were to protect the business interests of the nazi Elon Musk alone, at the expense of the American people.
If centrists wanted me to be more charitable toward their wing of the party, they had their chance in 2024 to abide by the Leahy law. They chose genocide instead, and that choice defines them.
Ah yes, the single issue person coming to move the goalposts
