Fair Trade [equal tariffs] should resolve into Free Trade.
It’s only a matter of time.
Sorry, but you are wrong.
The Tariffs are a key part of MAGA.
He most certainly is making himself an enemy of MAGA!!
That’s right, free trade is a myth, most countries have tariffs to protect their industries, free trade only works when both countries play by the same rules, the way around this issue is for both sides to go to zero tariffs, which is unlikely
Agreed...but to get there we need to play hardball.
Maybe help their industry in ame way farmers are helped with tariff monies.
Hate bourbon…. Stinks on the breath of those imbibing.
Something to consider is :the source. Time will spin any and every story to put Trump in the worst possible light. If Sen. Paul is getting hammered at home, it will likely be a short term hit. India has folded, the EU has cut auto tariffs from 12.5% to 2.5%; Audi is now looking to move production to the USA to avoid tariffs.
It’s a common theme here, we tariff them, they take positive steps to avoid the new tariffs. I’m sure the EU will cooperate sooner than later. Rand and his constituents will make peace and Time.com will be shown to be full of crap, again.
My 2¢

I find that Trump loves Tariffs as a way to tax people with a consumption tax to help reduce the Fed deficit while promoting higher growth for the nation in the long run.
[the only way to reduce the outrageous Debt.]
These are not tariffs to subsidize the US, Rand. Smh. The cognitive dissonance is strong there, with pseudo libertarians always subsidizing socialist countries and not checking their own preferential tariff schemes.
And as a way to NOT subsidize foreign socialist nations. Paul is a pseudo libertarian. The real Ayne Rand is rolling in her grave.
If Americans that normally drink Scotch, Cognac, or other imported spirits; switch to American Bourbon, Whiskey an other USA made spirits! We will be fine. And I say this as someone who is not a big fan of this trade war. But I am an American, and if this is a war, we need to come together and win it. BUY AMERICAN. I don't care if you prefer some foo foo imported spirit, wine or beer, BUY AMERICAN!
Another Linda...
Rand Paul has always been more flaky than a bad paint job.
they can send their bourbon to NC. its tough finding buffalo trace
Hey Rand, time to STFU and get on the MAGA wagon now.
he’s a fierce proponent of free trade
So when folks like the euroweenies use tariffs against us, as they have for years, thats “free trade” to him?
Retaliatory and punitive tariffs may work to our great advantage in the long run.
While Rand has some admirable qualities, he is often too rigid to be useful in incrementally changing the way Washington does things. Free Trade is a myth. It only exists if there are no barriers or restrictions. That’s not the case presently, and will always be the proverbial pipe dream.
Wonder what percent of bourbon is exported?
Bourbon can only be true bourbon if its from Kentucky.
We can make any foreign liquor in the US and it would probably taste better.
Libertarian types were always opposed to tariffs.
I think he's wrong here, but I do not hold it against him.
