Is there any positive values to increasing tariffs on USA imports?

[healthmyths]

According to all the MSM funded experts... in summary, Because Trump is doing it, RAISING rates on USA imports is all bad.
Examples of how the biased MSM's "experts" are presented:
Tariffs are aimed at making American companies more competitive with their foreign counterparts,
but consumer costs in the United States almost certainly would rise if tariffs are increased.
Trump has promised to raise tariffs on "any country that devalues their currency to take unfair advantage of the United States"

Does the U.S. tax exports but not imports?

AND even when the "experts" grudgingly have to say and I quote...
(POSITIVE!!) NOTE no mention of suppliers being in the USA as a positive!
With higher import costs, many companies are seeking domestic suppliers or shifting their procurement to countries with lower tariffs.
This shift can help companies avoid costly tariffs while also supporting local economies.

(NEGATIVES!!) NOTHING about providing jobs!
However, transitioning to domestic suppliers can present its own challenges.
For instance, domestic suppliers may have higher production costs
or lower capacity than international producers.
Companies need to assess trade-offs, including quality, pricing, and lead times,
while ensuring that their sourcing decisions align with overall business objectives.
Additionally, there may be a limited number of suppliers available in certain industries, making it difficult for companies to
transition quickly without disrupting their supply chains.

My conclusion is that the vast majority of news articles blame Trump for costing American consumers more money!

That’s what tariffs do, particularly protective tariffs.

We Should Encourage Sweatshop Countries to Nationalize the Property of American Outsourcers

The puppet masters pulling democrats strings HATE the US controlling the world economy.

Can't get that one world government as long as the US and Europe are in the driver's seat.

So they're destroying Europe with mass immigration, and they're tried the same thing here.

If we deport the illegals and rebuild the middle class with a robust American manufacturing sector, we'll set them back 50 years.

Why do you think they destroyed themselves to attempt to defeat Donald Trump? They smeared him with Russiagate, released a pandemic, collapsed the news media spreading their lies, impeached him twice, kicked him off Twitter, arrested him on bogus charges, covered up Biden's dementia, covered up Hunter's laptop, and tried to kill him... Twice.

Rank and file Democrats aren't the cause... They're the tool. The useful idiots. The Sheeple. One day they'll wake up like Republicans of my generation woke up after Bush and Iraq.

Maybe Trump can stall them long enough. We'll see.

First of all it seems that MSN "experts" have no expertise in anything except left wing TDS political propaganda. MSN told us that Kamala was a sure winner when they must have known that Trump was set to win it all. It was a desperate effort to mobilize democrats and "independents" just as their alleged polling data is faulty today.

That's the conservative free-market way of thinking of Adam Smith.
This may no doubt give encouragement to some particular class of workmen among ourselves, and by excluding some of their rivals, may enable them to raise their price in the home-market. Those workmen, however, who suffered by our neighbours prohibition will not be benefited by ours. On the contrary, they and almost all the other classes of our citizens will thereby be obliged to pay dearer than before for certain goods. Every such law, therefore, imposes a real tax upon the whole country, not in favour of that particular class of workmen who were injured by our neighbours prohibition, but of some other class.

The conservative train of thought also contends that not only are consumer costs raised, but government's protectionism also diminishes the nation's innovation as foreign competition is reduced.

For sure it is hard to find a fiscal conservative in Washington these days,

Easy conclusion since your blob admitted that prices were going to have to go up already.

When they are reciprocal tariffs they encourage our trading partners to lower their tariffs. We have allowed our trading partners to trade unfairly, most people think it’s a normal state of affairs.
