Tariffs will hit Americans in the wallet without solving trade issues

We do not grow bananas or rubber… many things.

A hundred years ago we learned swinging 2x4s is folly as the damage doesn’t fix complicated trade and economic issues.

But now every time I eat a banana my wallet will tell me I just paid for some of Elon Musk’s tax cut. Too bad my having fewer bananas will not matter – only hurt me – as he’ll get his tax cut anyway.

Respectfully,
