Shopping Elsewhere Won’t Save You From Tariffs

For the third time, we’re diving into the contentious issue of tariffs—not because we love repeating ourselves, but because false economic narratives surrounding this topic continue to spread, and they demand a response. Misinformation, particularly the idea that tariffs don’t harm consumers or that they can simply "shop elsewhere" to avoid higher costs, is being perpetuated at alarming rates.

This is especially troubling as Trump’s Treasury pick, who should know better, has joined the chorus to defend flawed trade policies, ignoring their real-world global impacts on American consumers. By peddling the narrative that markets magically adapt without harm, this rhetoric glosses over how tariffs disrupt supply chains, increase costs, and erode the purchasing power of everyday Americans.

In this episode, we counter these misconceptions with clear evidence, dissecting the ways tariffs act as hidden taxes that inflate prices and distort markets. By cutting through the noise, we aim to arm listeners with the facts so they can avoid falling into the trap of these economically unsound arguments. This issue isn’t just about policy—it’s about the bottom line for American consumers.
