Must be the differences in what we want.
My idea is that I don't want to finance bigger government every time I shop for coffee and bananas. Other people want families getting less food and more government. You can decide that taxes are better than food and I can prefer food over taxes and there's nothing either of us can ever say that could possibly convince the other.
It's been fun; cheers!
Tariffs are not good for the domestic American economy. They're good for companies that have the political muscle to get themselves protected from international competition. But all they really do for the average American is force them to buy goods from less efficient companies at a higher price.
"Protecting" the American economy only leads to complacency and inefficiency on the part of American indudstries. That is not a good thing for our economy.
