Then you would simply eliminate all tarriffs? That would be analagous to removing the braking system from a new car because you regard it as desirable to go fast when you have somewhere to go. I'd like to get there fast as well. But I recognize that I need to be able to slow down and stop along the way. Crashing into the final destination is getting there, but not getting there in one piece. Tarriffs properly implemented are a brake that lets us benefit from trade with foreign producers without wrecking our economy in the process. You might disagree, but thanks for reading and replying anyway.

Not in the least analogous. If you want to go for an automotive analogy, our current situation would be like having sand instead of oil in your transmission and getting rid of the tariffs would be like replacing the sand with oil.
