The Trump policy that scares economists the most
New York, CNN —
[the convicted felon] wants to spend TRILLIONS of dollars on tax cuts!
But his plan to pay for that is alarming some mainstream economists!!
Trump proposed sweeping tariffs on all $3 trillion worth of imports
into the United States, including a 60% tariff on imports from China
and a 10% across-the-board tariff on imports from other nations.
Recently, Trump doubled down on the threat,
saying he is now considering tariffs of up to 20% on most imports!!
In theory, the unprecedented tariff hikes could raise trillions of dollars,
funds that would help cover the cost of the tax cuts.
However, many economists WARN that those tariffs could backfire
– badly! – by raising prices on American families (inflation!),
killing jobs, and setting off a global trade war!
