So the Trump tariff would put me out of a job, a Chinese laborer out of a job, and there would be no increase in US jobs. There’s a historical precedence for this, as well. The Smoot Hawley tariffs caused exactly the same situation in the ‘30s helping create the Great Depression. I didn’t experience it, but I know it well. My mother, as a child, went to bed hungry many nights because her widowed mother couldn’t find enough work to feed her children.
The Chicoms are building militarized islands in the South China Sea. There is historical precedent for that too. It was called World War 2. Transferring our national wealth to China will not end well.
WWII was not caused by tariffs.
This is a lie. The Smoot-Hawley had nothing to do with the Great Depression. The Great Depression was a fiscal calamity leading to a stock market crash. Look at all the contemporaneity histories of the Great Depression, trade is hardly mentioned at all. Barley an afterthought.
Smoot-Hawley is Neo Con lie started to on the 1960's to give tariffs and protectionism a bad name.
