There have been issues where he has spoken out on a subject, and I was glad to hear someone speaking out, but...then he takes stances like this.
And the stances like this are more common than his speaking out.
I have determined I am not much of a fan of his. And I never really cared for his father. It isn’t to say he and his father aren’t right on this or that, but it begins to approach the concept of a stopped clock that is right twice a day.
I fully approve of using Tariffs to level the playing field and influence the behavior of countries like Mexico, China, and yes, Canada too. Even if there are negative side effects, we have to take the long view.
I pretty much agree with you, the other issue I have with Rand Paul and other politicians in Washington is they offer no alternative approach, he’s against tariffs and supports free trade, I disagree with his stance but what alternative is he offering other than no tariffs
His state of Kentucky has been decimated by free trade and the climate change agenda and I hear nothing from him to combat either issue
