Maybe a weaker dollar would work better the tariffs? It would certainly attract business (and jobs) back into the USA.

I think economies can exist as several possible steady states (kind of like quantum orbits) of trade and overall wealth.

Focus on just on "demand" can make an economy disappear up is own rear end, and focus on just wages can cause unemployment. From experience, I believe this to be true of individual companies, and the link shows it is true of whole economies.

I'm impressed with that article on Says Law. Lots of supply is good (capitalism causes this), plus a free democratic government and an able educated workforce.

friesian.com

It basically indicates that capitalism and competition is good.

It's seems to agree with a non fiat money supply too. I would be in most favour of that. I think a lot of our problems would disappear then, including many of the things you have mentioned.

My god! I shoulda seen this sooner. If you don't understand that Free Trade is anathema to "socialism and marxism, and tyranny," then...oh...well, Craig, I hate to tell you this, but the auditorium has heard you ramble, and it is now empty(though you still speak).

Freedom AND free trade, are as American as Apple Pie,
