using tariffs to offset the disparity in wages between the U.S. and other countries is not treating the problem, it is treating the symptoms. The problem is that unions stepped in and forced higher wages for jobs that didn't warrant the pay increase. So what happened. Manufacturers focused more on automation or moved their manufacturing overseas. By trying to defy the free market, the unions put a gun to their own head and they pulled the trigger. Go to Detroit to see the results. Unions ensured that American workers would lose their jobs to workers who were willing to do the job for a cheaper wage. That was the unintended consequence of unions and artificially inflated wages. What are the unintended consequences of tariffs that are meant to offset the effects of the unions? And what will you do to offset those consequences?
