Once again we are paying for cheap imports and then paying again when we have to support unemployed Americans.
The tariffs should be at a minimum equal to the taxes a domestic producer would pay PLUS the cost of supporting unemployed Americans.
How about we just let the free market set the price of sugar and let the chips fall where they may.
You know, that whole free market capitalism thingy..
