Jim, I agree. I also support both in rare instances.
We have 45 million people sitting on their ass today, due in no small part to illegal immigration and destructive trade.
That does not change the fact that there is ALWAYS a place for tariffs, even in otherwise normal times.
So tariffs are not inherently evil, and in situations like we have today, they are a tool that can be used to bring things back into line fast.
I’m all for it.
There is not always a place for protectionist tariffs. I think I’ve explained why. Not hearing a convincing argument why forced higher prices on American consumers is always a good idea.
