You COULD say some Americans ARE boycotting imports. But its not voluntary. They don’t have as much discretionary income. So its a “subliminal” or “natural”.
So far in my area the only ones able to keep spending are overly paid unionized gov’t employees, and or Gov’t vendors. The other group are the self employed Tradesmen. Carpenters plumbers electricians etc. All deductions and less income reported.
Lets not forget the auto body shops, tranny shops, all under reporting cash. The regular people, not in the “system”? That go to work? They should call that an “employment tax” because they are the only ones really paying. The people that pay, pay for the people that don’t pay.
