"If this is the best you can do, do us all a favor and go away."
And that's how you wage an intelligent debate. Simply wave your hand and discredit whatever is said. Nicely done.

The post was loaded with misspellings, cited Russian data as evidence that "tarrifs [sic] work", and held up Vladimir Putin as an economic expert. Fact is, we did not need tariffs in the United States to have a thriving automobile industry; foreign assemblers built plants here because there was a good market for the cars and it made no sense to continue to source from Japan. That's why Toyota and Honda both have assembly plants within 150 miles of where I currently sit. The post barely deserved any response at all, frankly.
