This week, the President slapped tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to enhance domestic steel production, to the dismay of liberal economists and journalists who don’t understand history and common sense.
Here at this editorial we are unabashedly pro-tariff, not only because they work, but because without them we lose control of important aspects of our economy and of our society as a whole.
Needless to say, we believe these steel tariffs is welcomed news.

Trump seems to be taking the USA in the right direction.
It is one thing to let our T-shirt factories be closed as that industry and other industries like it are sent to low wage countries.
However, when the USA allows its basic industries like steel, aluminum, or computer technology to be shut down, then who is going to make the materials needed for our tanks, warships, and planes?
The Chinese will say “What?! We don’t steal technology”.
About time. It’s crazy what is going on with them. Imagine if the US government colluded with Fortune 500 companies to steal technology from a British firm, or the like?
