a crisis in manufacturing. U.S. companies have been closing factories, shedding workers and building plants in Mexico and Asia. As goods produced by $2-an-hour foreign labor poured into the United States, they have killed off many remaining U.S. factories.

I'm glad that USA manufacturing is beginning to recover. I would like to work there again for a start. The weaker dollar will help also.

The rest of the arguments look full of holes though. All I can say is look at recent history. The Hawley Smoot Act was a disaster. Trade barriers = less trade = Less hot economy = recession imho.

Some well-to-do guys will do OK out it though. Nearly everyone else will suffer. OK you may see some jobs protected in the short term. I look to the 1930's to see what the longer term effects are.

An example of a $ Billion going straight into the rich guys pocket as a direct result of the tariffs.
