harp, I disagree with you on the same argument you dish out tiem and again, 'tariffs worked then and can do so now'. Well, they won't work now because times are different, circumstances are different, WE are different. if you mean the 1800s then we were developing and moving west and getting boatloads of immigrants. We're a superpower now, heck no, we're THE HYPERPOWER and we can't shut the door on the world because, the world is the US's backyard. WE straddle the earth like no nation before so we can't go into isolation because that would kill ourselves. And it would close our eyes to the real dangers posed by reverts to the Dark Ages (alQ).

You disagee fine. Do you have any evidence to support that tariffs do not would caus euis to go into isolation? So we are supposed to subsidize a nation that has within the time of the current administration threatened to destroy American cities with nuclear weapons? How long can we remain a credible "Hyperpower" "Super Power" or even a major power if we have unemployment continuing to rise and under employment continuing to rise. Whgat do we do about the fact that our recent engineering and IT ggraduates are unemployable becuase of business decisions based not upon the Free Market but government subsidies by foreign nations leaving no viable market for any skill but flipping burgers.

Oh and do not count on that job at McDonalds or Wal Mart the cascade effect of this situation has yet to really hit.

Now do you have any evidence for when this change in human nature and economic priciples occurred? I was unaware of the exact change. Can you further define that change you refer to? Or are you just going to make an unsupported statement.
