    There are two options. Companies raise prices, or companies reduce earnings.

      Problem is that even if he choked on his burger and coke at lunch, and had dinner with the devil, neither of the next two in line could pass a civics class either.

    Such a dumb argument. Now only is it simply untrue, it wouldn’t matter if it were true. If Chinese companies paid tariffs, their prices would go up and cause inflation. Instead the importer pays, raising prices and causing inflation.

    Of course the consumer is the actual end payer in both scenarios.
