Apparently it'll cause inflation to be steady for a while; but I don't know.

I think tariff lead action is going to great for durable goods, since the high costs will make consumers more frugal (it'll also help with savings...hopefully). I tend to side more with your "least painful" argument because consumers habits will change and change sucks (if what I think happens); but people adapt.

For places like China, this might be bad, since they're an export base economy and the US is one of its biggest markets.
