Last time I looked the US and Canada were both in North America. Last time I looked the US and China were both on planet Earth. Do you imagine the laws of economics aren't the same in other countries? If it benefits Americans to keep all their dollars in the US then why wouldn't it benefit Texans to keep all of their dollars in Texas? Please explain. Why can't you?
The fact is that dollars are just claims on goods and services. It is those goods and services we can buy that are real wealth. When prices are higher our dollars buy less. When our dollars buy less we are poorer, not richer. Tariffs only benefit the very few who are in the industry the tariff protects. Tariffs hurt everyone else by making prices higher.
You really are a dummy democrat aren’t you. That’s a shame.
People without jobs cannot buy goods no matter how cheap. And it is better to have have American workers employed than Chicoms.
