Hopefully, somebody in our congress will stop this illegal trade war…
What exactly is illegal about it?
You do know that before the passing of the 16th amendment and the creation of Federal Reserve in 1913, the United States used tariffs for income to not only run the Federal government, but to also protect our domestic manufacturing and general self interest going all the back to 1816’s “Dallas Tariff” that came after the War of 1812. There is absolutely nothing “illegal” about it unless, of course, you feel it to be unfair or, as many in the Marxist Democratic Party believe it to be, not in line with the concept of the creation of a “One World Order”. Bottom line is, and as President Trump has proven over and over again, tariffs work beautifully in attaining a stated objective since the US is still the most powerful economic capitalistic engine on the planet.
