“Saving jobs” is BS when some bozo comes along and claims the Founding Fathers intended tariffs for that purpose, and cites the Center for American Progress in support. Frankly, if I was in your shoes I’d be embarrassed...”

********************
The Founding Fathers intended tariffs to protect American industry. That is why they continued for so long. It works. Hamilton wrote extensively about it. Have you ever heard of Pat Buchanan? He says the same thing? Have you ever heard of Phyllis Schlafly? She says the same thing. I’m not embarrassed to be with them. I would be embarrassed to be joined at the hip with Obama.

“You stooges”? Out comes the name calling when you are left with nothing else. I knew it was coming. Always does.

A stooge is someone who, when scrambling on Google to support his argument, posts something from an organization that should stand against everything he stands for. As for Buchanan, he himself admits Reagan was a free-trader. He probably knows, seeing that he probably wrote Reagan's speeches on the subject.
