Outside which, protectionism and tarrifs end up getting protectionism and tariffs against you. Protectionism and Tariffs really only work if your a small country nobody cares enough about to counter tariff against.
25% of US economic activity is trade... and that's low. Our trade deficits come soley from China and Oil... nothing actually related to free trade. |
Yeah, I know. But as I said, free trade is no longer free. Free trade is a good idea in theory, and I am actually against the ideas of tariffs. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and it's time for a change.
Harley-Davidson would have gone out of business in the 1980s if Congress didn't place import tax on foreign motorcycles. Also, That same tax caused Honda to build a motorcycle assembly plant in the US rather than pay the import tax. That Honda plant closed two years ago.
What is your plan to bring American jobs back to America?
