re: #97 JordanRules

Here’s what I’m trying to figure out about these tariffs and the supposed point that they’ll protect/create American jobs… Unemployment is under 5%, that’s effectively full employment. If they create new jobs (they won’t), who is going to work those jobs? Especially if it’s manufacturing? Younger workers aren’t necessarily interested in manufacturing jobs because they’ve grown up in a service economy. Beyond that, we are importing steel and aluminum because our demand for those materials is outpacing our supply. In what world does it make sense to institute tariffs?
