One thing I rarely hear mentioned is that most trade these days is in intermediate goods. This means that higher tariffs will not only hurt consumers, but will raise costs on businesses too.

Peter Berezin Companies have the ability to absorb additional costs by sacrificing margins, if they so choose. The consumer may not see the full impact, so CPI could be misleading even at more granular levels. Decreased margins will deplete cash reserves, stunt investment and diminish growth. Tariffs are a losing strategy.
