I am not averse to that. The problem is the screaming about free markets that would happen. That's a bizarre rationale. Tariffs are some kind of violation of "free market" principles ... but production cuts under threat are not? WTF? LOL.

Of course they are both violations of free (cheat) market (lack of) principles, but it is much harder to scream about the threat vs tariffs. Free markets are great in principle but the playing field is being tilted by the 800lb gorillas on the field. Fair market theory allows for putting your thumb on the field to level it. Trump merely put his thumb on the field and leveled it.

BTW, to see more field leveling see Amazon, the Postal Service rates and small retailers. Again, thumb, field and threats.
