This country was built with imagination, courage, hard work and fortitude.

All while under tariffs from foreign countries, I might add.

We all need to figure out how to profit from the reality of this difficult environment rather than whining about what once was.

In order to save capitalism we must figure out how to profit from socialist states?

That should be read as "We expanded while having tariffs in place"

One could make the case that this is a new world, learn to adapt. But I don't see anything good coming about basing your economy on how fast your idea can be offshored. Its the Bubble Economy all over again.

Please name one of them that is economically better off than us. Their trade barriers do them more harm than good. Look at Japan. Look at Europe. They've had trade barriers for decades and their ecomomies are in far worse shape than ours.

Please name one, just one, instance where trade barriers have worked to benefit a national economy over the long term?
