As products become more expensive, there's less to spend on more products. So demand plummets and layoffs begin. The whole economy goes into the abyss. Nixon tried wage and price controls. Flop. Why am I not seeing an EO freezing prices immediately?

BTW, are tariffs by EO an official presidential act? If they're ultimately ruled illegal, is immunity a fail? Or are official acts in the declaration and not in the legality?
