No. Presenting the data in this format (the chart's from Heritage) challenges the assertion that GDP rose in spite of S-H, because it shows that there is an inverse relationship between GDP and the average tariff rate*.

Can you be specific about years and dollar amounts instead of a graph where that kind of specificity is hidden?

Why the obfuscating tell-nothing graphics? Does your point rally hold no water?

What the heck are you going on about? I challenged the assertion that our GDP rose in the years after Smoot-Hawley by pointing out that our GDP's rise coincided with a fall in the average tariff on dutiable imports.

I'll also point out that Smoot-Hawley was repealed in 1934. If you intend to continue insisting that we narrow our focus, perhaps you should get together with the person who made the original assertion.
