Did I say anyting about protectionism? No, although I'm for it. I'm not calling for taxing foreign goods to protect our own industries. The problem with the steel tariffs is that it didn't address the problem at hand which in my view was the enormous cost of labor. If steel companies have to go out of business because they're inefficient, let them. I won't shed any tears. Tariffs will not destroy our economy, certainly not a mere one to two percent. We built our economy on tariff revenue.
