Good an across the board tariff. That’s what we had for 180 years. That’s what we need.

After we have run a trade surplus for a few years and cut our debt in half, we can reduce it. In the mean-time we can use the proceeds to cut individual and corporate taxes, leaving American citizens with more of their hard earned money to spend in the American economy.

Our founding fathers viewed an import tariff as a voluntary tax paid only by those who wished to buy products made overseas instead of American products.

By the way, I believe the current WTO allows the imposition of tariffs in response to chronic trade deficits. If true, then we are there, and Trump may not even need Congresses approval to act.

We also had a much smaller government. That means no social security, medicare and all those tanks and stealth jets
