About Us

We started the Borderline Economics podcast and newsletter because we were outraged at the questionable legal power used to force tariff implementation, the justification for tariffs (national fentanyl/immigration emergencies), and the pernicious impacts of tariffs on US industries.

Each week, we explore how tariff policy has affected a different part of American welfare. Our podcast and social media aim to platform the research of tariff experts to a large audience.

The final goal of Borderline Economics is to spread awareness on the multi-dimensional flaws of tariff policy, and rally support to repeal protectionist tariff policy.

If you can take anything away from Borderline Economics:

Tariffs are a tax that is passed through to American taxpayers

Trade wars historically destroy US GDP and employment

The administration doesn’t have the legal basis for implementing tariff policy
