You fucking retard, other than the ALREADY wealthy in Shaghai, who the hell else in China gained from our Trade Policies.Yeah in the last 20 years they went from completely dead fucking broke to having some pocket change. But hey now as they're getting to a stage where it's time for them to spend let's start a trade war! Yeeeehaw MAGA!!!Again, your entire "time period" had countless amounts of shit going on. We are isolating tariffs here, not talking about an entire epoch of human civilization. Tariffs and subsidies are not real! The corn industry isn't booming because everybody wants corn! It's because the government shells out tons of money! Nothing is being created!You mean the 19th. And the rest of the world was Britain. Whose protectionist policies (their massive artificial controls on free trade like Trump proposes) allowed the U.S. to surpass them.IS that why the 18th was a time of the United States being left further and further behind the rapidly industrializing rest of the world?
Oh, wait, no, the exact opposite happened.
By the end of 19th century the Industrial Revolution had spread well outside of the US and the UK.
And the US, surpassed them all during this high tariff time period.
We don't have a trade deficit with China because of their governments brilliant tariff's against us... it's because they don't have anything! Their people get by on a dollar per day!
Are you sure about that? Chinese purchasing power is increasing. Are you sure that we have unfettered access to their market?
Irrelevant I guess since Ryan just said republicans will never pass these stupid tariffs. The only decent thing they'll have done in years.
Hell, if they're so damn wealthy why are they shitting in their pants over Trump?
