Tariffs are stupid. Harley-Davidson wasn't faltering because the Japanese were "cheating," Harley-Davidson was faltering because it was poorly managed and built shoddy goods.

Putting in a tariff to "save" Harley-Davidson was about as stupid as Obama seizing GM and Chrysler to "save" them. Were you a fan of Obama's seizure of GM and Chrysler?

Sometimes Reagan was stupid; he was, after all, human, just like the rest of us (including, notwithstanding many protestations, Saint Sarah). In point of fact, he also went along with some expansions of the welfare entitlement programs now drowning us.

Communist China has tariffs, and rafts of official and unofficial measures closing their own market to foreign competition.

Working pretty well for them...
