“More aluminum and steel tariffs mean more American factory jobs!”
What You Say
Metals proclamations can raise input costs for builders, automakers, and manufacturers while any hiring gains concentrate in protected niches. CRS and BLS treat tariff incidence as distributional, not a nationwide hiring miracle.
The Stab
A tariff is a tax with a patriotism filter. Follow prices, not slogans.
