    Thr problem with snap tariffs is it doesn’t give the economy time to reorient. All of that overseas industrial capacity providing those imports has taken decades to ramp up, while US capabilities have atrophied badly. It will take many years for US manufacturing to fully catch up, and in the mean time the 50% or more price increase on tons of basic goods would become baked into the price of said goods and only drive additional crazy inflation.

    And even if you ramp them up over time, there is not much business incentive to jump into the water immediately, and you have the same problem.
