Raising import tariffs would help the American economy at the expense of China and other third world countries. But nobody is talking about that. Instead they still want create more free trade zones with countries that have much lower wages than us and continue the drain of American jobs.
Yeah! If we raise import tariffs (RAISE TAXES!!) that will help Uncle Samuel, and no other country would do the same to us on our exports, so it’s totally a win.
