Mark "The Great Once" Levin.
A 45% tariff is a problem, sure....but Trump has had some of those positions since the 80s on trade. Moderation in those positions may not be any of those things that Levin says there.
The problem I have with Levin is his own inability/disability to see Cruz and his wife as part of the globalist movement and can't recognize that Trump starts at way crazy levels on things to stir it up and then walks back from them. Does Levin really think we could have a 45% tariff on goods from China? I don't believe he does and neither does Trump. How about a 5% though? How many companies in the USA went out of business due to the unfair trade practices that we allow? How many could have stayed competitive with a 5% or 10% tariff on China or Mexico? My guess is a lot.
News flash...we are already in an economic war with the world where we have given away all of our advantages - we are losing and racking up debt the longer it goes on. If not being able to buy things cheap from China is a job killer....well, how would that be? We don't make anything here as it is. The elephant in the room is that the wealth will continue to transfer out of the USA so long as we continue to not be a production powerhouse. We keep the world locked into the dollar reserve with our military interventionism - but someday that will end.
