Though I’m a bit hesitant to participate in the digression, I’d like to offer this: > [@Trump's Economic Plan](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trumps-economic-plan/1005796/69): > > Of the Trump-Biden tariffs, the Tax Foundation says, essentially: We estimate the Trump-Biden tariffs will reduce long-run GDP by 0.2 percent, the capital stock by 0.1 percent, and employment by 142,000 full-time equivalent jobs. Candidate Trump has proposed significant tariff hikes as part of his presidential campaign; we estimate that if imposed, his proposed tariff increases would hike taxes by another $524 billion annually and shrink GDP by at least 0.8 percent, the capital stock by 0.7… By which I mean: I understand what I believe @natureboy to be saying, here. [I also believe that @RitterSport is right: there are a number of existing threads where this conversation better continues, so … my apologies. I won’t take this point further on this thread] --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-washington-post-democracy-dies-with-us/1009210)._
