@AskPerplexity What are the potential long-term benefits of these tariffs? Answer assuming they stay in place and assuming they are used to negotiate more favorable trade deals?
@thorsson_john Your response is absurd. The government is funded by the people. It's racked up $36T in debt that we all collectively owe. Our great grandkids will be taxed to pay down these debts. Imagine a govt with a surplus. It could take better care of its people. It could cut taxes etc.
