That's when we will need genuine PROTECTIVE tariffs of rates 50%, 100% and above to regrow what we gave away, or become a second world nation.

An honest tariff rate of 15% now -- the historically fair rate -- might keep us from calamity.

I am not completely against tariffs, but believe that
removing corporate income taxes (in conjunction with removing corporate "personhood") is a better way to go.
Or dangle the carrot of tax breaks for companies that
hire Americans.
