TARIFFS ARE JUST TAXES WITH BETTER MARKETING.
Politicians sell "protectionism" as strength. Here is the bill you actually pay:
The Bailout Cost: The last trade war cost taxpayers $23 Billion in agri bailouts alone.
Tariffs raised import costs by 1-2%.
Deglobalization is inflationary. We are moving from a world of "cheap goods" to a world of "secure supply chains." Security costs money.
Inflation isn't "going back to 2%." Structurally, it has to stay higher. The Fed knows this.
They are lying about the target because the US government goes bankrupt if rates stay high.
Only the hardest asset onboard saves you from this. $BTC
