We have one of the lowest effective tariff rates in the world. to characterize it any other way is misleading to put it mildly.
Before you respond to people's posts, you need to read them -- and read them carefully -- especially before you accuse someone of lying!
Since you refuse to read my post for its content, I will reiterate: I never said that we do not have the lowest effective tariff rates in the world. In fact, I made no reference at all to our effective tariff rates.
One more time, since you are uncharacteristically obtuse tonight, I said:
1) We are not free-traders either (i.e., we impose tariffs too), and
2) Some of our tariffs are pretty steep also.
That is all I said in my post, and there is nothing dishonest there.
If you insist that I am a liar, that my point 1 or 2 is incorrect, then present the evidence, or shove off! I have not lied about a thing.
