We could pass a law demanding that Americans pay a certain amount for certain items. That would solve the problem.

Why on earth would someone who has purported to be a conservative offer such a ridiclous plan when it is patently against american values whereas tariffs are the classical solution. What do you have against Free Markets? Why can you not allow the Free market tro operate in the USA without foreign interference?

You are of course merely trying to distort the issue away fgrom tariffs by offering what you consider to be a ridiculous counter proposal to achieve the same ends. deal with the issue. If you or anyone thinks tariffs are bad then show the evidence. If the supposition you make is true then surely there are studies that have evidence showing that.

There are regression analysis showing the opposite. If you can find a case where tariffs have inflicted harm on the US economy please bring it to light so we may examine and verify the facts presented and the logic from those facts used to prove the supposition.

In crude language put up or shut up.

I've got no problem with a free market, provided you make it a truly free market: get rid of the incentive and visa programs that make it advantageous for firms to outsource in the first damn place.

Truly make it a level playing field.
