I’m a Trump supporter and don’t really listen to Levin, but Trump’s tariff thing IS a problem. Tariff’s do nothing to attack the ROOT CAUSE which is the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (minimum wage, regulations, unions, and taxes) of businesses moving elsewhere. A tariff is a tax and China and Mexico don’t pay the tax, WE, THE AMERICAN CONSUMER PAY the tax in the form of forced higher prices. TARIFFS, LIKE INCOMES TAX AND INFLATION, DIRECTLY LOWER OUR STANDARD OF LIVING.

And how many confuse political borders, necessary for sovereignty, with economic borders which generally needs to be open for the operation of the free market economic which has always and will always brings wealth and prosperity.

Great post!

It’s wishful thinking that Trump will realize all that. But, there’s a small amount of hope.

For sure, with Hillary, the collapse comes much, much sooner.
