jo, no, it really isn’t funny, but it’s true.
it’s even less funny when i hear obama talking about how, so far, his administration has “rejected protectionism.”
wtf?? china protects its trade and currency; so does germany; so does japan. they are *not* going to open their markets to american goods, no matter how much the free-traders whine.
if we want to get out of the fiscal mess we’re in, we should start filling the coffers by raising some tariffs, raising the cost of foreign goods, and making american goods competitive at home again.
