The whole article is a lie. America went from a fringe settlement on the edge of a continental wilderness to a world manufacturing power thanks to tariffs. Tariffs can be used to onshore manufacturing, strengthen America, and enrich the citizens at the expense of our execrable Marxist overlords.
Besides, it doesn’t have to be all tariffs—lower the taxes to cover what the increased tariffs don’t cover and also reduce government spending exponentially.
“The whole article is a lie. America went from a fringe settlement on the edge of a continental wilderness to a world manufacturing power thanks to tariffs. “
THAT - what you said is a lie. It was the industriosness of the American people and American companies, not tarriffs.
Tarrifs that work when you are not yet very industrialized or just on your way to being very industrialized, will not work them same when you and most your trade partners are very industrialized. Your economic intercourse with your trade partners have become a working part of your own domestic industries. You try to put the genie back in the bottle - take conditions far back in time - and the economy will get very sick for a long time before it recovers.
