A tariff wold have made Sprint's services too expensive. Ergo they'd go out of business and whoosh, ALL the jobs would be gone. Why are they too expensive? Unions, lawyers, stupid laws, etc.

Now would you care to provide some evidence taht Sprint would have gone out of business or wiull you merelty assert something that is unproven and unprovable. The tariff operation would have had teh same effect on its competitirs and the most efficient will shake ourt and succeed. The overall employment and investment in the USA will increase because a company's exp[enses will be higher for offshoring than for opertaing in the USA most especially when the actual risk factor is included instead of taxpayer having the taxpayers pick up the political and currency risk.
