David Brancaccio: 川普政府实施关税政策旨在促进美国制造业,增加就业岗位,并为政府增加税收以抵消减税计划。然而,关税政策也导致商品价格上涨,对消费者造成经济负担,且不同收入群体的承受能力差异显著。 关税政策对美国经济的影响是复杂的,既有潜在的积极方面,也有明显的负面影响。关税政策可能导致某些商品价格上涨,从而影响消费者的购买力。同时,关税政策也可能导致企业成本增加,从而影响企业的盈利能力和就业机会。 因此,评估关税政策的整体经济影响需要仔细权衡其潜在的积极和消极影响。 Nancy Marshall-Genzer: 经济学家认为,进口商会将关税成本转嫁给消费者,导致商品价格上涨。研究表明,低收入家庭受关税政策的影响最大,他们需要将更大比例的收入用于支付上涨的商品价格。这是因为低收入家庭在生活必需品上的支出比例高于高收入家庭。 关税政策对不同收入群体的经济影响存在显著差异。低收入家庭的收入有限,因此他们更难以应对商品价格上涨。高收入家庭的收入较高,因此他们更容易应对商品价格上涨。 关税政策的公平性问题值得关注。为了确保关税政策不会加剧收入不平等,政策制定者需要考虑如何减轻关税政策对低收入家庭的负面影响。

Plus, by one analysis, California's economy is now the fourth largest in the world. And later: how the Trump administration is pushing the limits of authority over independent agencies.
