| Ah. Ok I see what you are getting at. Actually though no one said anything about actually taking that choice away. At most it would make the cheap junk from China more expensive but people are still free to choose to buy it. I guess in a way that is taking the option away to buy it cheap. But then it gets even more complicated because the reason it can be produced cheaper elsewhere is because of government enforced rules that we have to follow that China doesn’t. Burning coal for cheap energy is one Chinese benefit. So maybe the tariffs should be considered as equalizing out the other negative ways government interferes in our lives and makes things more expensive. The best way is to likely remove all of those types of governmental interferences but many people would oppose that. If cost is truly the issue things like government environment regulations should be judged the same because they eliminated a lot of choices that the consumer used to have.
