Protectionism was key to founding of the country and built into the Constitution. Tariffs were enacted in the very first law passed by the very first congress and signed by President Washington. The founders knew what the were doing, we don't.

Yeah, but our founders were a bunch of Marxist populists that didn’t know anything about building a nation. Unfortunately, I probably should note that this is sarcasm.
