​Good Morning Everyone!

TARIFFS, TARIFFS, TARIFFS!
Seems that's all we are hearing about lately.  Tariffs, handled properly by people who understand what they do, can actually be helpful in balancing world trade.  

For example;
I get my hair cut every 5 weeks . . .  I pay my barber $40.00 for each haircut.  So far he has bought nothing from me.  I am running a trade deficit with my barber.  Is the proper solution placing a 40% tariff on my barber?  How is that going to work out?

A Note to the Wise
Tariffs are taxes imposed by a government on imported goods, primarily intended to protect domestic industries by making foreign products more expensive and less competitive.
1 While they can potentially shield local businesses and jobs from foreign competition and generate government revenue, tariffs often lead to negative consequences.
2 They typically increase prices for consumers, as the cost of imported goods rises and domestic producers may also raise their prices due to reduced competitive pressure.
3 Furthermore, tariffs can provoke retaliatory measures from other countries, harming export-oriented domestic industries and potentially escalating into damaging trade disputes that disrupt global supply chains and reduce overall economic efficiency.
