If we bring stuff home, create demand, then that will hurt China & drive up wages & American consumers will be better off."

Turns out the Economists may face the same risks as any common or garden climate scientist, virologist, or god help us sociologist who writes stuff the administration doesn’t like.
Real insane part of this clip is Hassett saying in the beginning that NY Fed researchers “should be disciplined” for…writing an economics paper that comes to a conclusion the president dislikes? A conclusion that matches the vast majority of economic evidence on tariffs? Nuts
Hassett: "The basic theory of President Trump's tariffs is sure, we're importing stuff from China, but we've got producers in US who make stuff, maybe at alightly higher place. If we bring stuff home, create demand, then that will hurt China & drive up wages & American consumers will be better off."
