Who said I wanted to erect a trade barrier? Indeed, under the system we had from 1789-the mid 1900's, which I recommend for consideration to every country that wants to increase its capital supply (and, thereby, the standards of living of its citizens), our government's funding depended entirely upon foreign trade. You are not in a league to begin to comprehend, much less argue, this point. What do you think China is doing to get this booming economy they now boast? They are eliminating taxes on foreign capital investment in domestic labor, even as they keep their tariffs against our goods outrageously high and control their own currency. Mind you, the minute we peep about possibly maybe thinking about a tariff, they freak out, start mumbling unpleasant threats about getting off the dollar, etc.... > is the way you creat more problems than you can > possibly imagine (or believe, I bet).
