Not because some limp-wrist thinks they create jobs.
You can't explain something you can't grasp. So far you can't grasp that tariffs are a valid mechanism to generate revenue. You say it, but then...
You trash anyone who suggests raising tariffs, you trash anyone who doesn't also. You're simply lost in some twilight zone episode where you can't man up to admitting the negative aspects of the trade practices we have utilized with regard to China.
You trash our side for small tariffs, and remain silent as China effectively charges 40% tariffs on our goods.
This episode ends with you just as ignorant now, as the other twenty times you've lost this discussion before.
The United States can use tariffs, tax incentives, and other enticements to move more commerce back to the United States. Trashing one or all of them before anyone has even made a detailed suggestion, show massive ignorance on your part.
If our Founding Fathers saw merit in tariffs, it's not unreasonable for loyal citizen today who respect the nation they handed off to us, to see some merit in them also.
Try being consistent once in a while.
Either you agree with tariffs or you don't.
Either you complain about some, or complain about all, even if China does it.
Either you respect our Founding Fathers, or you loathe them as much as you loathe anyone else who supports some level of reasoned tariffs.
You can't claim every side of this issue and win as if you had actually used logic and a balanced non-flip-flopping approach.
