You need to get out more and read a little...

Your condescending statement is hilarious. You obviously have no idea just how silly slogans like American jobs being offshored to the Chinese and Indians and all your Grandchildren have to look forward to is being a Burger Flipper are.

You sound like a "Flat Earther" posting to a National Geographic Society thread.

Speaking of reading, try any standard College "Econ 101" entry level course book. They all refute your position in detail. For a short expostion, try Wikipedia:

Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hawley-Smoot Tariff (or Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act)[1] was signed into law on June 17, 1930, and raised U.S. tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods to record levels, and, in the opinion of most economists, worsened the Great Depression. Many countries retaliated, and American exports and imports plunged by more than half.
