Tariffs and restricting trade has caused depressions in the past. Do not ignore history otherwise you will be doomed to repeat it.

Why do we have highest corporate tax rates in the world among major industrial countries? Why do we pay #80/hour including benefits to workers who perform routine assembly work requiring less than a week’s training? Why do we have the most restrictive environmental policies when China+India are building 1 new coal fired power plant EVERY WEEK? Why do we have Obamacare? Why are we paying entitlements with borrowed money from China?

Instead of blaming China, blame our politicians.

That is a myth and a lie. Free Traitors tend to be liars, so I'd expect as much.

WTO helping China Loot Caterpillar
americanthinker.com ^ | 10/04/2010 | Howard Richman & Raymond Richman
"Why can’t Caterpillar make a profit exporting mini-excavators to China? The answer is simple: China has a 30% tariff on all excavators. In fact it has a similar high tariff on just about every vehicle, be it a Ford car, a GMC truck, a Harley Davidson motorcycle, or a giant mining machine made by Bucyrus International."

Free trade is what causes depressions you idiot. Look around America today. Those unemployed Obama voters want your tax money. How's your moronic free trade libertarianism working out for ya! When I grew up those people had the option of decent paying factory jobs. But when you send their jobs to China then they want your tax money (Obama bucks) to live on

As much as you believe in stupid illogical discredited shit like free trade....They believe even more in getting Obama to grab your taxes and give it to them via Obama-Care and our vast Federale welfare system
