So as I understand Solicitor Sauer’s argument, if tariffs don’t work, huge sums are raised on the backs of the American people. Alternatively, if tariffs do have their intended effect, the world’s economy collapses. LOSE - LOSE

Solicitor General Sauer asserts a tariff’s best outcome results in no revenue, yet he also contends that if the government loses this case, and tariff revenue stops or must be returned, the country will be plunged into a deep depression. What does that say about this administration’s goals?
