Our overall approach has been bad for four decades. There isn't going to be something that fixes the issues overnight without growing pains. For me, tariffs can be a tool to fix it and they're going to be "bad" for people in the short term, but they really only work if there's tax reform to go along with it that discourages employers from sending jobs overseas. Then those price increases in the short term get replaced by jobs in the long term.

No argument to the bold.  But that can be said about a lot of things that need "fixed" in America.  And it seems we only care about the ones that will make someone money...not you and me mind you.  We' have to absorb the pain so someone else can get the pleasure at the end.

To the rest you are creating a well thought out group of policies and actions...that's not what DJT did/does.  He takes a hammer to everything whether it is needed or not.  Which is why I said his policy was bad...because that's all he's done.  Add on the socialistic support of the farmers and it's been a real "win" for him.  For pointing that out I am now said to be "just what china wants".  Apparently china wants people to have better methods of gong after them instead of ones that will hurt america even if it's just the short-term (one year? 5 years?)
