<p>TweetThe Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal draws important lessons from Trump&#8217;s tariff &#8216;policy.&#8217; A slice: One of the (many) problems with tariffs is that they lead to countless and arbitrary exceptions for political purposes.

U.S. Tariffs are Paid Overwhelmingly by Americans

<p>TweetHere’s a letter to the Wall Street Journal. Editor: Your lead on-line headline this morning reads “U.S. Imposes 50% Tariffs on Some Canadian Goods After Last-Ditch Talks Fail” (August 22). This wording is inaccurate and misleading. Your headline should instead read “U.S. Imposes 50% Tariffs on Americans’ Purchases of Some Canadian Goods After Last-Ditch Talks [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://cafehayek.com/2026/08/u-s-tariffs-are-paid-overwhelmingly-by-americans.html">U.S. Tariffs are Paid Overwhelmingly by Americans</a> appeared first on <a href="https://cafehayek.com">Cafe Hayek</a>.</p>

Rump? Libertarian?

<p>TweetHere’s a letter to Semafor. (I add that I nevertheless doubt that Trump understands what he&#8217;s saying.) Editor: Quoted in “Vance takes his first economic punch in the 2028 primary” (August 21), American Compass’s Oren Cass describes people who don’t share J.D. Vance’s wish that the U.S. dollar lose its role as global reserve currency [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://cafehayek.com/2026/08/rump-libertarian.html">Rump?
