That amendment was made when people hardly knew any economics. Our understanding of tariffs has improved then.

Sure. That is why Founding Fathers and Constitution made USA one of the poorest countries in the world. But now since the all-wise economists from Harvard and Chicago Univ. took the lead, America will get as rich as Russia and Argentina got after following their advice.

BTW, my uncle from Nigeria has some excellent free trade deals for you.

We have Chavez and Lula now because of the wreckage caused by IMF shock therapy and liberalization. And Putin's increasing authoritarianism is backed up by a Russian people who saw their country becoming a failed state under IMF advice.
