    Now, imagine the same sort of map, with Mexico included, for the factory sector. Another for tourism, which while not subject to tariffs, is subject to business cycles and sentiment. Another for metals.

    North America is one big economy, with some borders. The New York/Ontario border has not been much more consequential than the New York/New Jersey border, nor should it be. Today, the border woth Ontario is much more consequential, and that ain’t good.

    Gas in Madison WI was $2,73 on Sunday and is now $2.99 – Hey I thought Trump was going to lower gas prices and that was going to allow the U.S. economy to achieve 3% GDP?? Also interesting to see Peter Navarro – a convicted felon – explain how these tariffs are good for consumers and we will all just have to maybe go into a recession to make America Great Again.
