correct
"I have a trade deficit with Microcenter. In order to reduce it, I need stop shopping there"
See how retarded it is
@FriarPop Then why reduce it?
you are trying to simply this way too much, and assume there is not competition in the marketplace or political influnces
step out of theory and into the real world
🤦
You still didn't answer my question
the word WAR in trade war is literal
sometimes they are meant to screw over people at our expense
like I have a trade deficit with Microcenter(China), i'm going to stop shopping at China! and shop at India, cause screw them, they are Mofo's
spoken like a true big government protectionist
That's.... not how it works
and they can no longer have our F35's
If you want to counter China's influence WITHOUT launching trade wars that harm our workers, the TPP would've done just that
jfc
You call yourself a conservative?
lol
i dont label myself
This is the *exact opposite* of conservatism
if anything
oh a populist
a bullshit left-wing ideology masquerading as free market conservatism
I'm for liberty, and freedom, and the consitution
Then you would be for free trade, not protectionism
i like the word fair trade more than free trade
nice, you're for government intervention in the market
not at all??
Lol
in super limited cases
😂
monopoly protection for instance
goodness
it creates a robust middle class
Dude this is Bernie's plan
Fairness is the sugar coated term of socialism
Fairness =/= Liberty
It's tyranny my friend
you sound like Ben Shapiro
Because im a traditional free market conservative, not the MAGA populist/Bernie side of the conservative movement
