So in the meantime, we're paying higher prices on domestic and foreign goods.

We can't avoid the higher prices by avoiding imports.

You were wrong. Maybe you should stop making that claim?

The debate that we should be having in this country is whether the temporary inflation caused by protectionist tariffs are worth the added economic activity, decreased or no trade deficits, balanced Federal budgets, much lower unemployment, less social stress and increased national security they beget. It is a debate only adults can have but not doctrinaire Free Traitors™ who all seem incapable of anything that goes against their false religion of free trade. Other countries have this debate all the time but not in the USA where the economic rapist that prey on our economy won't let up.
