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I'll also point out that Smoot-Hawley was repealed in 1934.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.

I challenged the assertion that our GDP rose in the years after Smoot-Hawley ...

In light of the numbers in my post #175?

Surely you are jesting ...
