There is theory and there is practice/ I have a few things bookmarked that document how tariffs are bad. Yet I can sign onto tariffs used as a 2x4 to get a trading partner’s attention and solve an issue, obviating the need for long-term tariffs. The thing is ... our negotiators have historically sucked!!! So there is no level playing field. If the Donald wants to renegotiate our agreements, so be it. I am willing to give him the chance.
I heard zero today stammering through a press conference and among other things he was saying you can’t go back to a non-globalist world because it’s so last century and technnology has changed everything. I wondered if he believed what he was saying....maybe he really believes as Soros tells him that there should be no borders in this world.
Open borders and free trade are progressive
Protectionism is conservative.
If you are for free trade your are a globalist.
You cannot be a globalist and a patriot at the same time.
I wouldn't call a person in 1992 and was for NAFTA free traitor. The historical data of the last 30 years shows free trade has been a disaster for the USA. Now if you are for free trade you are simply a traitor.
Well, except for Carolyn Kennedy.
