Will liberals and/or free-trading neocons ever deign to explain how tariffs can be so bad when China has become an economic super power behind the protection of its long-standing high tariffs and other trade restrictions?
I will be sure to answer that as soon as you tell me how can socialism be so bad when China has become an economic super power behind a socialist market economy.
Just to stop the morons now, I am not saying socialism is good, I am pointing out the weakness of the argument that what works in China will work here.
China was socialist like the USSR before the early 90s where there were collective farms etc. Deng Xiao Ping introduced reforms to the economy and allowed foreign businesses to enter and for the Chinese to have private enterprise. China was a socialist dictatorship and is now a capitalist dictatorship.
