Protective legislation is 100% guaranteed to end in bankruptcy for the protected industries. Amen! Just look at what Ronald Reagan's tariff on 700cc and over Jap bikes did to Harley Davidson.

I don't think that a tariff is a solution. I would look at tax adjustments for companies that send work overseas. I don't want to punish a foreign company but there is no way that American labor can compete with Indian labor. Just a thought.

Amen! Just look at what Ronald Reagan's tariff on 700cc and over Jap bikes did to Harley Davidson. A couple of years after those tariffs, Harley Davidson was yet again on the verge of bankruptcy. They finally reformed their business practices that led to their recovery. These days Harley Davidson lobbies against tariffs.
Bottom line is those tariffs postponed Harley Davidson's recovery for a couple of years.
