Thanks todd for the first non-smart aleck response.

I know you want less government and I absolutely agree. But that doesn't mean NO government. We call that anarchy and our founders alled that the WORSE form of tyranny.

I am not a fan of tariffs per se either., at least not high tariffs.

However having NO tariffs EVER is even worse, especially when it comes about as a result of having surrendered your bargaining rights to an international arbitration board to decide what's "fair".

So when I say "fair trade". I mean that the US and the US only decides what is right for the US. Not the WTO, not the Un, not anyone outside of the US.

Tariffs are in the end no better or worse than any other tax. They have a time and place and both should be limited (by US).

Thanks for your patience and patients if you have them too.

That'll never happen.

Like steel tariffs or tariffs on Canadian lumber?
