WHAT "POOR" COUNTRIES?
So "poor countries" export goods to us, do they, and have outrageous tariffs on OUR exports to them, which supposedly their populace can NOT afford to buy?
Obviously, you have less than NO idea what you're talking about, do NOT understand this topic at all, so should refrain from commenting on it and other such topics!
Try reading the comments here, go do research, IF you are really interested in a topic, and for the love of GOD, stop virtue signaling!
The money we would generate by these tariffs would not amount to much. But they would harm a developing country a lot. We will make plenty by reciprocal tariffs on rich countries.
They would be helped a LOT more by development, by growing their domestic industries and by having access to our markets.
As opposed to USAID-type corrupt 'aid' that is more or less just stolen by politicians here and abroad.
So, choose your poison. I would prefer the poor countries grow and stand on their own two feet, not be dependent and poor forever. Definitely not virtue signaling by my recommendations.
As far as your nasty "learn more and shut up"-type comments...
All I can say is, the 'experts' (you sound like one and probably believe you are one) have gotten us in this horrible, maybe terminal, economic mess that we are in.
Thirty-eight trillion USD in debt, insolvent Social Security, unaffordable homes, unaffordable higher education, both parents slaving at multiple jobs just to survive, feral and illiterate children, an obliterated middle class, anemic home industry, no personal savings, tons of personal debt, etc., and these same experts have been guiding us along the whole way.
Maybe it is time for the point of view of a moron like me to be considered.
Have a nice day.
