<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1443580, member: 3011&quot;]I am not a believer in global free trade.&nbsp; It might be okay for a small dirt poor nation with nothing to lose, but for a large and prosperous nation such as the US, it damages the economy and impoverishes the citizens.&nbsp; Anyone who studies the matter will probably agree that text book economic theory doesn&#039;t fare well in the real world.&nbsp; Yes, I would support tariffs because it would help attract investment and jobs back to the US.&nbsp; Medoraman acknowledges that the present condition of the world does not permit free trade.&nbsp; But he hasn&#039;t quite accepted yet that tariff are, on balance, positive for the US and hasn&#039;t quite given up the dream of one world free trade.&nbsp; So he&#039;s more of the dreamer and I&#039;m more of the pragmatist.&nbsp; At least that&#039;s how I see it.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
