That’s a whole different time. No income tax, no daily global trade. The US generates much more output than we consume—which requires global trade and is a big part of why we are so prosperous.

We need to level out the trade playing field, but not with tariffs, which will only invite counter-tariffs and shrink our trade and our wealth.

Jeesh!

You think the USA's restaurants and mcdonalds and gas stations can compete with city sized automated latest tech factories in China? You think restaurants and debt is the way I see you and Obama agree.

We don’t need tariffs but we need also to NOT pay tariffs. Free trade is free coming or going.

If we pay tariffs to access their market then they need to pay tariffs to access ours.
