You are just not very smart and this proves it well. We have been trading with China for 4o years now...and tariffs have gone down over that time. We have taken full advantage as consumers of their low prices, and we have had many companies go there with success.

Is it perfect...no it is not...is it worthy of 20+% tariffs being slapped on..not at all.

Trump was very successful as a businessman in working with China...in much the same way he was using immigrant labor.

Now, all of a sudden, this is all bad and must use big government to stop it....this only a few threads off of you crying about how Bernis's min wage proposals fly in the face of free market principles...edit..same thread..sorry..thought this was a different thread

What does your economics 101 textbook say about tariffs? (nm) - ummmm MU - 7/22 10:08:55

or the economic calculation problem (nm) - pickle MU

- 7/22 10:21:53

That you should work to eliminate them - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/22 10:10:47

You have an old book. The new books say that tariffs should - hokie VT - 7/22 10:24:57

There are no economic textbooks that talk positively about - ummmm MU - 7/22 10:31:15

I am a fan of free trade - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/22 11:28:01

I'm sorry, but your posting history suggests otherwise. - ummmm MU - 7/22 12:26:00

- 7/22 13:44:59

Again, tariffs are not a moral issue - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/22 12:48:05

You aren’t. A fan of free trade would not justify - pickle MU

A few questions - meatiger MU - 7/22 11:37:53

It is pretty simple - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/22 12:44:48

Ok. And that is irrelevant to his point. Apparently - GA Tiger MU - 7/22 11:10:31

There's no economic textbook that says tariffs are - ummmm MU - 7/22 10:46:47

The main issue is tariffs - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/22 10:48:01

RE: The main issue is tariffs - meatiger MU - 7/22 10:57:01

The gist I get from you and hokie in this thread is: - ummmm MU - 7/22 10:53:07

I think it can be whittled down to R v D - pickle MU

If that's his strategy, then he's done the exact opposite - ummmm MU - 7/22 10:11:55

That is like saying it was wrong to enter into war - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/22 10:21:42

So how long do the tariffs last - DC Jayhawk KU - 7/22 10:56:23

It will end up like Mexico - meatiger MU - 7/22 11:04:29

Entering an aggressive war is wrong, period. (nm) - ummmm MU - 7/22 10:31:35

And there we have it - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/22 10:36:58
