Go for it. Buchanan would have invited AQ to bomb Seattle and Phoenix and other places too, just so we don't "get involved" overseas.

And yes, we did have protectionist policies, and yes, the cost us tremendously. The Smoot-Hawley tariff is estimated to have cost us 5% of GNP, or the equivalent of the Navigation Acts AND the OPEC oil embargo of the 1970s combined. Yep, them's smart policies. Thank God ol' Patty isn't in charge, because things would already have gotten worse.

Cost us? This country was built great under protectionist policies. Look at what we have now! At this rate in five years, we will no longer manufacture anything, and another 5 million jobs will be exported. You think this is a good thing?
