Maybe we can de-privatize the tire industry.
While I have favored tariffs at times, I'm not a big fan of protecting industry that has contributed to it's own demise. There are times though, that I have to take exception to our willingness to allow strategic things to be outsourced.
IMO, outsourcing certain technology is foolhardy. Oursourcing certain items like steel in total, is another very foolhardy idea. Tires would come under the same category.
Anyone who thinks it's never a good idea to protect certain industries, would have no trouble outsourcing all weapons and ammunition. I don't think any of us would sign on to that. At least I would hope not. I think other areas should be studied and protected through tariffs as well, in certain instances.
Thanks for the comments. I realize you may think entirely different on this. Tha's okay. Later.
