Paul Gigo: 我关注的是即将到来的关税政策以及它对美国经济的潜在影响。特朗普政府暗示将实施大规模的关税,这可能导致严重的经济后果,包括GDP下降和消费者物价上涨。此外,特朗普还暗示了他可能竞选第三个总统任期,这在宪法上是不可行的。 Alicia Finley: 我认为特朗普的关税政策可能无法筹集到预期的巨额资金,反而会对经济造成扭曲,减缓投资,并导致消费者支出减少。此外,政府可能需要提高公司税和个人所得税来弥补关税政策造成的财政损失,这将进一步损害经济增长。 Kyle Peterson: 我认为特朗普关税政策的不确定性本身就是一个巨大的问题,它会严重影响企业投资决策。此外,关税政策的时机也不对,因为大型投资项目需要更长的决策时间。最后,关税政策还会对美国汽车零部件制造商的工人造成负面影响。 Paul Gigo: 特朗普政府似乎正在为关税政策可能导致的价格上涨做准备,并试图说服公众接受这一结果。他们似乎认为,即使价格上涨,消费者也会购买美国制造的商品,但事实并非如此。 Alicia Finley: 特朗普政府此次的关税政策与之前的政策不同,其负面经济影响可能更大。在第一任期内,减税和放松管制在一定程度上抵消了关税政策的负面影响,但这次情况并非如此。 Kyle Peterson: 特朗普政府的关税政策导致美国制造商品的价格上涨,而且这种上涨幅度可能比进口商品更大。此外,特朗普似乎认为,只要实施关税政策,就会很快出现更多新的汽车工厂,但这并不现实,因为大型投资项目需要更长的决策时间。
