I said nothing like that. I said that tariffs are taxes typically imposed to protect selected industries from foreign competition and result in higher prices for consumers.
That means higher costs of living for Americans and it means the government is picking winners and losers in the market. And that is what I hate.
Bush tried the same thing with steel tariffs in 2002, and I certainly have a clue about that. Over 200,000 American jobs were lost and the tariffs were removed.
