The logic for an expansionary US fiscal response to the tariffs may be there, but is that something the current administration would really be inclined to pursue? (Recognizing that extending the 2017 tax cuts won’t be expansionary.) Maybe any fiscal expansion policy comes from Europe or elsewhere outside the US.

I think when the consequences of tariffs become clear, they will have little choice, i.e. the fiscal hawks in Congress will be silenced.
