Comment on Ask HN: Could tariffs be a good thing?

Comments

Tariff has already proven to be a bad thing.

Prices have increased due to tariff.

Government lost a case and refunded money to corporations. Consumers got nothing.

Tariff induced inflation has caused volatility in the bond market. I was forced to refinance our mortgage at 7% when it could've been less than 6%, had it not been for the volatility and uncertainty. As a result I'm $900 poorer every month.

And the whole argument about bringing manufacturing jobs back- never materialized.
