Bourbon bought Rand.
I liked him once long ago.
Now he is like a dog biting his tail.
Taxes=unconstitutional
Tarriffs=constitutional.
You can’t not have both.

It hurts his bourbon lobby no matter what.
He can’t open a Kentucky bourbon distillery in Japan.

“Tariffs are a tax designed to raise revenue. A side effect can be to protect manufacturing. A side effect can be to hurt manufacturing.”

Tariffs protected and built the greatest manufacturing economy in the world (USA). It is sad that Alexander Hamilton did not have your expertise when he originated the plan, nor Abraham Lincoln who pushed tariffs extremely hard.

Rand Paul is a good guy and a true Patriot but he’s just wrong about tariffs. He’s an eye doctor not an economist.
