he’s talking about increasing taxes on imports.
Duncan Hunter is also...let’s put it gently... not exactly the best when it comes to pork spending.
He’s just not a strong fiscal conservative.

You can also see how bad Hillary would be on spending
“he’s talking about increasing taxes on imports.”
I have been listening to what Hunter has been saying. He is saying that our trade policy should match whoever we trade with. If they choose to not tax our exports, we will not tax their imports. If they choose to tax our exports, we will tax their imports also.
I heard the same thing you did in the debate the other evening, but I have heard much more from him than just that debate, and if you would have listened to all he said with that response you would have heard that he was using it as an example, not as the only option.
I forgot to mention something regarding your “economics 101” reply, if taxes go up on imports that is also a way to pay down the national debt.
Either way you slice it, more money comes into the treasury under Hunter’s plan. I think he knows his economics.
