Here we go again: Even if the revenue from tariffs is used to lower existing distortionary taxes, tariffs are welfare reducing for the vast majority of Americans. Daniel Carroll and I showed this in our recent IER.

If you read the word โ€œmanufacturingโ€ to stand for accessible middle class jobs (with rising real wages), these results make a lot more sense. The bigger issue is how many people believe manufacturing jobs are the solution to stagnant income growth.

Waller emerges as favorite to replace Powell. Why? Waller is a data (not political) based dove -- see my article here "Trump, Waller, and the Coincidence of Correctness" davidandolfatto.substack.com/p/trump-wallerโ€ฆ reuters.com/world/us/walleโ€ฆ
