i'd prefer your take from reading the source than the consensus of historians
They just spiked everyone's expenses. That has to come from somewhere and it comes from a contraction in consumer spending, which is like 70% of the economy by memory.
A 10% tariff means a 10% reduction in consumer spending, so a 7% drop in the economy if consumer spending was 70%.
All going into the feds pockets. The biggest tax raise on regular people of my lifetime for sure.
