This is what you voted for, revell in it.
The democrats are a socialist nightmare. They pretend to care about us while they shove the knife between our ribs. Republicans just shove the thing in and look for another good spot to poke at for a larger percentage. But, they do have Rove to tell us it's good for us.. Who needs that label anyhow.. It only gives you some idea about whether what you're eating is going to make you ill or not. We can't be bothered with your well being when there's money to be made. And as the free traders would remind us, ethical considerations are anathema where money is concerned. The odd thing is that our forefathers would have had the sense to be incited by what we're putting up with now.
I sometimes try to suggest a more nationalistic approach to our trade policy, and I am immiediately dismissed as a Buchananite isolationist. Of course, nobody has yet told me how we are better off with our current policies of running up the debt so US companies can enrich the Chinese government while allowing Mexicans to invade our country and take jobs from Americans.
I guess the Bushbots don't really have answers as to why tariffs are a worse way to go than what we have now.
