Short Term Gains, Long Term Pain is a hard-hitting economic deep dive that exposes what history really tells us about tariffs, who truly pays for them, and how they impact everyday Americans. From rising prices and inflation to retaliatory trade wars, we unravel whether tariffs actually boost domestic spending, reshore manufacturing, or simply grow federal debt and the trade deficit. This podcast reveals the hidden chain reaction of costs, economic vulnerability, and corruption behind protectionism—showing how tariffs threaten democracy, concentrate power, and quietly transfer wealth to political insiders. Are tariffs breaking the American economy, and is Trump’s tariff strategy really about economic security—or consolidating power for the elite? Tune in and decide.
