But I thought tariffs didn't increase prices!

[LordBrownTrout]

I don't think they're told about that. Seriously.

The standard was set when corn pop was blowing smoke up our rear about how great the economy was as we paid 7 dollars a gallon for gas and 10 dollars for a carton of eggs.

Biden caused that.

And that is where you are incorrect.

its not impossible but its rare:AI Overview

It is difficult to find products made 100% in the USA, as most products with a "Made in the USA" label still contain some imported parts

I abhor blanket statements, hence my questioning your response.

well obviously you CAN find items 100% ALL american made, I was just showing that its rare. Almost everything has imported parts.

Tariffs will increase some prices but over all there is decrease in prices inflation and demand. Keep in mind a manufacturer must sell his product or go broke. A consumer doesnt have to buy it. Prices are controlled by the free market. Dont buy they come down. For the mist part manufacturers pay the tariffs and so do sellers.

...and you still do not get that is not true.

I lived back when we used to make fun of 'Made in Japan' stickers. Now they make quality items there that we don't even know how to make..

Perhaps there is a list of 100% american made companies out there? Do you have one?

I mean, everything im seeing says that 100% american made using zero imported parts is very hard to find.

This is weird. Why would he pull any of the insane tariffs that HE PUT IN PLACE?

It's almost as if tariffs increase prices. But, as we're told, that doesn't happen.

I thought the importer paid the tariff ?

The importing company does, yes. That increases its cost of doing business.

Completely wrong, but not surprising that you have bought the propaganda that says otherwise.

And link a source, please.

So the importer just passes on as much as they can get away with and still stay in business ? That cant be right. Surely foreign governments stand the cost ?

What about anything not made of parts? DUH!

Nope.

There are a few ways the company can mitigate the increased costs: Increase prices (there's been some of that), freeze or slow down hiring (there's been some of that), slow down/cancel capital expenditures (there's been some of that), use tech and AI to increase productivity (there's been some of that) and stop buying lower-margin items along supply chains (there's been some of that).

American companies have done a great job with it, but it has come at a cost. As predicted.

I sell industrial tools & welding supplies. I can guarantee you that prices are skyrocketing in my industry as a result of the tariffs. And investors are nervous because of Trump's constant flip flops. It's a 100% increase in tariffs today but may change to a 10% increase tomorrow. The conman is all over the board. This indicates that he doesn't really have a plan in place. He didn't really think it through. He just randomly throws numbers around like a drunkard playing darts.

Then you can imagine how incredibly difficult is to plan anything amongst this chaos. And see the post above yours.
