Nothing wrong with high tariffs. We could use some of those now. . .
Like a high tariff on crude oil imports. While we lift the 40 year old ban on U.S. oil exports.
Or a tariff on imports from nations that have no environmental protection or workers protections, they ship shit here made by paying workers 5$ a day with no health care, overtime, vacation, etc., pollute the shit out of the earth, etc. and flood our markets, and our consumers eat that shit up while putting everyone out of jobs.
If the government puts tariffs on that stuff, those governments have two choices, give the money to our government, or raise wages for their own people and protect the environment, or lose jobs to us. Pretty simple stuff.
And I agree, we should life our ban on oil exports and energy exploration.
This whole globalist free trade crap has wrecked the nation while enriching the economic corporate elites.
