As a semi-retired economic advisor, I support special purpose tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, and reciprocal tariffs. So do most leaders of any persuasion. The US has been getting reamed, worked, abused, and pissed on by Canada, Europe, China and most of the world. US taxpayers have been absorbing this "tax" for time immemorial.
We have a big stick; it's time to use it or lose it.

A friend of mine, Michael Dendy made a good post about this on facebook recently on how the tariffs will effect American retailers and how the media is absolutely lying about how much it will increase prices. (It's much, much less than they are reporting.)
I'd C & P it, but I still haven't figured out to do that here without the text being practically microscopic.

You can take a screen shot, but then you have to post it to an image hosting site like imgur in order to post the pic here. May be more trouble than it's worth.
