I agree. Wage concessions should be accompanied by less spending elsewhere or raising more revenue. Because of an unelected ‘official’, Grover Norquist, everyone is afraid to even consider raising revenue if it can be called a tax. But what is the tariff, if not a tax on the industries that are affected, that is then passed on to consumers. Free money for govt shenanigans that is not even tied to a particular purpose and they don’t have to quake in their boots if that mouse Norquist says ‘boo!”
