By the way I would love to have an honest debate about Free Trade with someone who could post on regression analysis that shows the costs and the benefits of a tariff and proves that the net cost outweighed teh benefit in terms of jobs overall economic growth etc. It needs regression analyysisi of both sides not just the costs as seen by a study commissioned by those with an agenda in case you were thionking of posting a link to that Steel tariff hot peice taht has been posted several tomes and is always cited by thos ewho dislike tariffs.
