"The winner is the consumer."

How can you state your position if the winner is the consumer...if Reagan did not temporarily put a tariff on jap bikes...and let HD go belly up.
How would that benefit the consumer? Do you know how many motorcycles HD has sold worldwide since Reagan LIFTED his short term tariff on motorcycles over 750cc?

What detrimental effect did that short term tariff have on the consumer? You would not be able to go out and buy a brand new HD today if Reagan let that company go "unprotected".
