Bring American jobs back now. Protect them, with some sort of American-centric taxes on foreign goods. High enough to start to rebuild America.

Yeah, because Smoot Hawley worked so well.

All we need is a protectionist trade war now. That'll really bring back jobs and make life better for the American people.

Maybe we should bring back wage and price controls too.

Smoot Hawley was in a time when America exported a great deal of America goods to other countries.

The opposite is now the case.

The opposite tact, is now called for.

Just saying.
