Ask the Biden administration why of all of Trump's policies, they chose to keep tariffs. You have chosen to not understand the concept or the fact that the tariffs didn't cause inflation. It was the flagrant money printing machine of the Biden/Harris administration that caused the runaway inflation.
You are aware that China subsidizes industries where it wants to destroy competitors in America? Right? So, yes, Chinese EV's are very cheap but without tariffs, they would be sold to Americans at below cost in order to drive American car manufacturers out of business. Just as they drove the American drug and circuit companies out of business. The population of Detroit is approximately 30% of what it was in the heyday of American car manufacturing in the 50's. Our politicians sold out the middle class that had been built by the auto by allowing automakers to offshore their car factories. They use foreign workers to now build cars that are brought back into the US market for less than we can build them here but the process destroyed cities across the rust belt.
There is no reason for the US government to occupy such a huge portion of all jobs. Permanent jobs with huge benefit packages and no accountability has allowed bureaucrats to not watch the pennies or be held accountable for fraud thereby wasting billions of dollars every year. The DOE has not improved education in this country, in fact, Johnny can't read or do simple math in most big cities. Bureaucrats are lowering the standards so that they can graduate more failing students in a time when we need a far better educated workforce not a dumber one. Other bureaucrats are importing virtual slave labor from around the world. Why? No rational reason that I can fathom except that the formerly captive black slaves of the inner cities are wising up to the scam the Dems are running and are not reliably voting for Democrats any more so they need new, uneducated slaves who will continue to vote for "free" stuff to their own detriment.
