Buchanan has a fatal flaw in his argument. Consumers can’t just buy the same goods from American manufacturers at a lower price. For one they don’t exist and secondly a tariff raises the market price to accommodate the tariff. American sellers just raise their price to the new normal after the tariff and pocket the difference.
Do you really believe that?Yep. Make it less attractive to ship jobs out of the USA. I'm all for that.
