evidence: Welker pushed back more, asking him roughly the same question again: "Do you acknowledge that imposing more tariffs will ultimately cost consumers?" [...] Vance ultimately responded with a no. "I think economists really disagree about the effects of tariffs. Because there can be a dynamic effect, right? So what some economists will say is what you just said, that it will actually raise costs for consumers. But what other people say, and I think the record supports this other view, is that it causes this dynamic effect where more jobs come into the country. [...] Vance is just totally wrong on the merits. If we get more tariffs, it's American consumers who will have to bear the consequences—after suffering through several years of high inflation that have already taken a big chunk out of their budgets.
