High rates and tariffs are costs that hurt competition and concentrate industries into fewer hands with greater pricing power.

High rates are a stimmy check to bondholders supporting the higher prices of the monopolists.

The more they meddle in the markets the higher prices will go.

High rates also attract more investors, which, == more money coming in to the country.

Tariffs on americans though, ( YES, THE TARIFFS HURT MOSTLY AMERICANS ) are really making you hurt.

This is all because of China and how China is eating the USA from the inside through commerce.
