Listen for once. I will use 2010 as an example. Tariff income was $25.2 billion. Total imports in 2010 were $1,912 billion. So the percent of tariff income was 25.2/1912 = .013 or 1.3%. ONE POINT THREE PERCENT. Get it?

My God how many times do I have to do this? Having a tariff on the books means nothing if the duty rate is close to zero percent. Do I have to rub your nose in it like a puppy? Are you mentally impaired perhaps?
