The Greatest Event in Human History

4 days ago | dailysignal.com | Erick Erickson

“Eighty and six years I have served Him, and He has done me no wrong,” said Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, in A.D. 156 before climbing onto a pyre where Roman authorities would burn him to death. Eyewitnesses reported the local authorities respected Polycarp and begged him to recant his faith in Christ. He would not. The Romans did not even tie Polycarp to a post because they knew he would not flee the fire. Polycarp fed his captors, prayed over them, then climbed the pyre to die.

Erick Erickson: Grocery prices will go up

We don't grow much coffee within the United States. Only Hawaii and Puerto Rico are really capable of it and even if we started up tomorrow, American consumers demand so much that we would still need to import it. Tariffs will cause the price of coffee to go up. Profit margins are so low in the coffee business, most of the 10% tariff will go to price increases. We don't produce bananas in the United States because our climate is not sufficient to grow bananas. They must still be imported.

Trump, Vance peddle fictions to sell Americans on massive tax increase

One need not rely on experts to know tariffs are typically not a good policy. Going back to Adam Smith writing “The Wealth of Nations,” we know it is better to manufacture cheap commodities in areas that can make them cheaply so that wealthier nations can spend their wealth more productively. Adding tariffs historically disrupts that balance and often causes economic slowdowns. President Donald Trump thinks the United States needs to rebuild its manufacturing capacity. In some cases that is true.
