Judge Andrew Napolitano and Gerri Willis discuss Trump’s new tariffs and how they will affect everyday Americans.
Not surprisingly, Napolitano takes strong anti-tariff views, and also notes it’s unconstitutional for the President to impose taxes without the explicit approval of Congress. wishing to dodge responsibility, however, the Congress has abandoned its role in taxation.
Willis goes on to note that while some workers in the steel industry will likely benefit from the tariffs, the vast majority of workers will be hurt. After all, only 200,000 workers nationwide are involved in steel, but many millions more work in steel-dependent industries. Costs will rise in those industries, making them less competitive.
