We are specifically talking about tariffs. In the realm of economics, tariffs are wealth destroyers. Ask the Russians and North Korea about protectionism.No you didn't. You presented a period of history with countless numbers of variables, and attributed economic growth to an artificial control that by it's own nature makes it more difficult and expensive to create or grow anything.High tariffs do not create anything. I never thought I'd see the day republicans turned to taxation for answers. The only good thing about your party is gone.People and advancements in technology powered the industrial revolution. Not big government
Behind the protections of high tariffs.
You made a claim about tariffs never being pro-jobs.
I have cited a very large historical example disproving your claim.
That is where we are at.
You made a claim about history, ie that tariffs were never pro-job,
and now you are citing issues that would make ANY historical example not applicable.
How do you propose we judge your historical claim if we are not allowed to use historical examples?
