A mostly Democratic Party panel of members of the Joint Economic Committee ( JEC ) held a hearing on tariffs on Wednesday .

The room was heavily weighted against incoming president Trump ’s 10% (or 20% ) universal tariff proposal.

The Progressive Policy Institute and Center for American Progress (CAP ) were against the broadbased use of tariffs.

Members and panelists brought up trade retaliation against agriculture.

American farmers were given billions in bailouts to counter China ’s tariffs, which essentially amounted to soybean bans that lasted roughly one and a half harvest cycles.

Members also talked about how tariffs would cause prices on imported Canadian lumber and other home building materials to rise.
