Its all about the big picture though. Sure, we can have really cheap goods manufactured overseas and delivered here via free trade policies. All the wealthy people working in the service sector, executives, etc. will enjoy cheaper products. The problem is that philosophy destroys American production and the decent paying jobs they provide. Were we better off as a whole before 1975 before all this free trade nonsense, or are we better off now? I'd argue the upper 25% has it made, and the lower 75% has been royally bent.Biden and Trump tariffs both bad because both tariffs increase inflation.
Should all existing tariffs be removed?Biden and Trump tariffs both bad because both tariffs increase inflation.
I agree with this take. Free Trade agreements like NAFTA were bad for the American worker. That being said they were great for corporations. Move operations to Mexico and other places for cheaper labor. Corporations were doing what the government allowed them to do with these agreements. So were they wrong in negotiating these agreements? If you look at it from the standpoint of the American worker it was probably a mistake. Jobs lost and domestic manufacturing infrastructure lost.Its all about the big picture though.

From what I’ve read:Should all existing tariffs be removed?
Well he ain't lying thats for sure.
So you guys are big opponents to corporate greed. Yet you want the front and back door swung wide open so they can go mfg everything we consume in another country and bring it back inside the usa to sale for 10cents cheaper. That all sounds great, until you look around and figure out since we dont make anything anymore, (tongue in cheekatleast like we use to) ole Tom,---- and Harry cant afford the 10 cent cheaper Trichet that was made in a thrid world communist country, where they pay some guy 25 cents an hour. Because Tom,---- and Harry dont have a job with an income.From what I’ve read:
- not all should be removed but rather have only selected ones in place
-don’t place widespread 10-20% tariffs like Trump is proposing when inflation has been such a problem; it doesn’t at all seem smart to me

I don’t know about tariffs and what not, but I don’t think we are gonna get a clear picture from a Newsweek article who is quoting liberal economists.

I want even go down the path that we do not produce any penicillin inside the usa anymore. Along with a bevy of other products, that are a neccesity. Just my opinion., Trump doesnt go far enough on Tarriffs. Globalisim, 0 tarrifs aint the working mans friend.
Pre 1975 what were CEO pay like compared to the workers? Pre 1975 were employees treated like family or slaves?Its all about the big picture though.
