Tariffs don’t work. They didn’t work when Obama tried it. They didn’t work when Bush tried it. They didn’t work to prevent the great depression.

“They didn’t work to prevent the great depression.”

How could tariffs possibly overcome great government socialist spending in the first place, which caused the “great depression”?

There’s a name for what the Saudis are doing - it’s called “dumping.”

Dumping precisely for the purpose of disrupting US production.

Isn’t there a law again’ it?

And isn’t the penalty for violating it a tariff?
