By saying “Protectionism” is ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! The trade agreements we have are like a rigged poker game where everyone can cheat but us.
We led the world with Tariffs for over 50 years after World War II. It was only after NAFTA, GATT, etc..., we began are slow slide.
Furthermore, we still pay Tariffs to China and Mexico and they do not. That’s a rigged deal that we will lose.
That type of we Dumb@ss thinking is why our country is going to $hit.
The only people who love it are the corrupt politicians that have sold our people out.
The only time you can have “free trade” is if EVERYONE is playing by the same rules. Which is impossible. Thus, one of the main reasons why you have tariffs.
You have to be a certified DUMB@SS to believe this Bull $hit!
Pretty much sums it up.
The excuse for the one sided trade deals was that these were poor countries and the U.S. was fabulously rich and gee why can’t we help these little people, they’ll be grateful!
How’d that work out?
