Let’s be honest about Carney’s comments, it isn’t that he is a complete idiot, he’s being a politician. I would hope he knows we all use steel, and that costs incurred on producers will increases costs for everyone down the road. But he’s trying to sell it to people without critical thinking or who are blindly partisan that it won’t ‘really’ affect them.
It’s similar to Trump convincing some Americans that Tarrifs are paid by foreign countries, not by the American consumer.
It’s still going to cost everyone, but it looks different so he can tell people it is different, and it’s only the big bad large companies that produce things that you don’t directly buy that he’s making pay, not you, the voter. Because he wants your vote, and oil and steel companies don’t vote.
