It's a good thing we have selfless politicians who will do the right thing without causing more damage./sarcasm off

Did I say anything about politicians? They are the worst of the worst, for the most part....bought and paid for on both sides. My deal is making sure that my fellow citizens come first and foremost. I think that the United States should be self-sufficient in all major areas...steel, oil, food, etc. I don't trust ANYONE who would undermine that.

There are many American citizens who will never be nurses, lawyers, biotech workers, etc. I think that we are morally obligated to make certain that they are gainfully employed, if they would like to be. And if you aren't inclined to that view...keep in mind we'll pay for them one way or the other. That will put us on the fast track to socialism.

Put your money where your mouth is. Start your own steel company, your own oil company, etc. You have so much advice for everyone else you must be smart enough to get it done yourself. Get out there and compete and stop trying to tell everyone else how to run their business. Maybe you will get a clue. Or do you just try to sell what everyone else manufactures (including overseas)?

So, sugar tariffs and quotas are ok, even though they cause your fellow citizens to pay triple the world price for sugar?
