You should probably withhold that judgement, at least based on the flames I've taken in the past. I am a free trade proponent, generally, and am against (again, generally) protectionist tariffs. I'm sensitive to the labor issues, but haven't been pulled over to the other side (yours, I assume) yet.
The point is that you are considering and examining "our" side which ... at least in my eyes ... puts you out of the "free traitor" ranks
We have conversed before particularly regarding the use of H1B personel in the medical field. Where you convinced me that the real solution in the medical field is getting rid of proce controls on providers so that they can pay enough to attrcat American talent that have left the profession. Until then H1B's in that field are the only way services can be provided.
However, on tariffs. you say you are generally against protectionist tariffs. well IMHO protectionist tariffs are justified in response to protectionist tariffs used against American goods. In one case I can think of nation uses tariffs of 50% against consumer goods while demanding investment for the right to sell in their market. Further they artificially manipulate their currency value to export more to the USA. I take the stand tariffs are a very acceptable andf constitutional means to balance out things like currency controls and another nations protective tariffs on American goods and services. Note teh rupee has been subject to currency controls in order to improve the ability to export IT services and the Indian government does give substantial aid to their IT industry at least according to online Indian newspapers.
