By what measures or criteria do we determine whether the tariffs benefit the average consumer? And what is the time frame?

Some are panicking about the tariffs, some are thrilled. What objective measures do we look for?

KPIs

Increases in domestic manufacturing

Reduced trade deficit imbalances

Reductions in Fentanyl overdoses

Those would be 3 immediate things I’d be looking at.

What is KPI, and how do we measure it?

How do we measure changes in domestic manufacturing?

The other two measures seem to be fairly self-defining.

It’s really pretty simple man. Democrats and RINO policies have destroyed the free market system with federal minimum wage hikes and funding endless foreign wars through taxation and creating inflation. Outside of putting a reset on wages and forced price reductions (which would be the equivalent of communism) on the entire economy, tariffs are the only way. It penalizes companies from going overseas and keeps them here in the US. Thus, lowering cost of living and keeping jobs here for Americans. Ford, GM, and all of corporate America will think twice about leaving because it will be cheaper to stay in the US for them. You can thank decades of piss poor policy and bad voting by Americans for creating this situation. It’s not something that can be fixed in 10 days like the goofball msm is preaching. They’re too stupid to understand anyway

I respect what you say. What about the original question as to how to measure success?

Must’ve been my formatting:
KPI = Key Performance Indicator.

The metrics you establish to measure progress and determine efficiency, progress, completion, and success. Work without established KPIs is literally a wasted effort. It’s easy to overdue them as well. Kind of like goal setting for a work stream. It likely seems intuitive but I see so often people just get into a work stream and really have no end stage goal or a way of determining efficiency or progress. The Federal Government at a macro level is like this.
