The problem with tariffs has always been retaliation. You don’t need to call it a trade war to suffer under it. The problem is that when they retaliate you cannot sell them your products. The globalist Rino’s simply took the possibility of American retaliation off the table.
The idiot Dimwitcrats regulated and taxed until we cannot do business here. The Rethuglicans made it EASY to move business elsewhere. Now we wonder why there are no jobs!
I always felt that the worst problem w/ taxes was having to pay them and that the threat of foreigners being forced to also pay taxes was lower down on my list.
