  1. It’s interesting to see how tariffs can be such a polarizing topic. On one hand, proponents like Bessent argue that prioritizing domestic manufacturing over access to cheap goods aligns more closely with the values of the American Dream—fostering job creation and industry within the United States. On the other hand, critics often emphasize that tariffs can lead to higher prices for consumers and limit choices in the market. It raises an important question: How do we balance the desire for affordable goods with the need to support American workers and industries? What are your thoughts on how we can achieve that balance?
