You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax. The anti-Robin Hood.
Trump's current tariff settings effectively impose a tax rate on low-income households that's roughly TRIPLE that on high-income folks. That's not the way taxes are supposed to work.
