The Republican Party is experimenting with a controversial economic policy that combines significant tariffs on imports with income tax cuts, an approach critics liken to a losing gamble. President Trump's proposed tariffs, starting at 10%, aim to encourage domestic manufacturing but risk a recession by increasing costs for consumers and businesses. While GOP lawmakers continue to push for tax cuts, thereâs skepticism about their ability to offset the economic drag from tariff-induced costs, with some economic advisors warning that the overall strategy could prove detrimental to the economy.
The Republican Party is wagering that the U.S. can handle monumental tax increases through tariffs while cutting income taxes, a strategy many expect to fail.
Economists suggest Trump's tariffs are a large tax hike, likely to harm the economy, despite efforts to balance this with income tax cuts.
