I only picked John Deere as an example nothing to do with exclusivity. Also you completely forgot to factor in the best deal for John Deere’s customers which is the biggest factor.
no I understand and I use John Deere is an example back to you...but that the point it not policies structure to the benefit a particular subset of companies....
it’s what’s the overall benefit to the US economy and its citizens
to a domestic company that doesn’t export or import... then tariffs are a 100% benefit to them and 0% hindrance to them
You know the logic of free trade goes hand-in-hand with logic open borders if you look at labor as another product you import.... importing cheap foreign labor is the same as importing cheap foreign product ...they both undercut the domestic source.....after all labor is a product....
people just don’t see it that way because when they go down to Walmart and buy the cheap product they’re dont see themself as buying labor
but then they do see it when they go down to the local Home Depot and they buy the cheap Mexican labor standing out in front
we rant about the Wall Street Journal and the GOPe wanting to keep the cheap labor express open.... but the cheap product we want is from the cheap labor Express just external to the country....
tariffs are as much building a border wall as physically building border wall is... whole point is to control our borders and prevent unlimited access in to our country of what damages our economy and Country...
