Your argument is conclusory with no rationale behind your assertions. Yes, I know you anti-free-market types have been railing that NAFTA is the cause of all our economic problems for decades. Its like a mantra with you guys - you follow the chant like lemmings. But that is not a reasonable argument - just yelling your conclusory assertions louder. The fact is you don’t and can’t reason out how tariffs effectively deal with the actual causes of American competitive issues.
You remind me of my father who died from Alzheimer's.
In his early stages, my mother, who was dying of cancer, was being treated, but without much positive result.
My Dad would sit at the kitchen table daily explaining to me how SHE DID NOT have cancer.
It was the medical doctors who were TELLING HER THAT so they could charge her all this money for the treatments.
My POINT ( which also applies to you ): Denial does NOT change a thing.
