“Tariffs will bring all the factories back overnight!”
What You Say
Tariffs raise import costs and can reshore some production over years, but BLS and CRS treat them as taxes paid through U.S. prices. Overnight factory magic is campaign poetry, not trade economics.
The Stab
Factories need workers, power, and capital. A customs invoice is not a groundbreaking ceremony.
