The US always used tariffs as they were designed to be used before - as a defense against subversion. Now, subversion is viewed as "just good business" by the treason lobby, and tariffs an unwanted intrusion of government.. unwanted by those who would profit by treason as it happens. Alas, government intervention must be decried as an evil if it keeps people from profiting at the expense of America. The US has not always paid this price. It used to be led by people with common sense and a love for this Country. Now it is led by people who have a love for globalism instead and couldn't care less about what it means to this country in the long run. Gotta break a few eggs, (National soverienty, civil rights, etc) to make a globalist omellette. I'm not for globalism; but, give me a spatula and I'll break it over the heads of a few globalists in the name of a Christian, Soveriegn United states. The US doesn't have to pay a price for the globalists. But, the globalists might find they'll pay a price for treason. Some of us haven't forgotten what it is or what words mean in general.
This is exactly what I was talking about in my post 47. We face the fact that American workers get more done than foreigners. The tin foil crowd tries to make us believe that Americans are as dumb as say, the French, and if we don't agree then we're somehow unpatriotic.
Truly astounding logic.
