But the issue is it not free trade.... it one way we do not have equal access to the overseas market they have access to ours

just like open borders it’s really not open borders is one way we don’t have access into foreign countries like foreigners seem to think they should have access into ours

ultimately the one of the primary reasons the federal exist.is for Defence of the country..... economic war is just another form of War... if we’re being defeated economically by foreign powers we need to address it

and tariffs duties and other things restricting or controlling access in and out of are markets is not unconstitutional the founding fathers did that and in fact it was the originally the primary revenue sources

Well, you’re proving my point with the utter confusion about the difference between political borders, required for a sovereign nation, and open economic competition across borders in the marketplace FREE from government interference.

Also, you cannot explain how tariffs address the core issues of why businesses are fleeing this country and the resulting slow growth of GDP. Tariffs and protectionism actually LOWER American consumers’ standard of living.
