The world of 1930 is not the same as today. There are more developed countries and not the bottleneck of the past, with limited trade potential.

Countries today, like Germany, Mexico, and China use tariffs to protect their own facilities and create highers costs, it works well for them.

We are gonna lose jobs anyway to innovation and tech, we have to determined what is the best way to have a tax base for our economy, and our people.

That was not my point.

I'm talking about the economic behavior of countries. We raise tariffs. They will respond by raising tariffs as an effort to get us to change our minds. We all spiral down together.

I will always vote for free trade. Yes, it will hurt some American workers. But the overall economic impact will be favorable.

Just think about what would happen if we put a 100% tariff on all imported goods. Would that work?
