I’m glad you asked. Yes, I would increase tariffs on goods from other countries to force US self-reliance and production. Especially in cases where the other countries have had predatory US practices and we need to even the playing field.
And regarding, “We’re at the point where many Americans aren’t just not educated, I fear they’re not educatable! Not ready to learn.” – yes there are too many worthless, stupid and lazy people.
But when I see things like Microsoft firing thousands of qualified US workers at the same time as they import thousands of H-1Bs, it lets me know our problem isn’t unqualified American workers, it is evil practices by large companies who put profit ahead of America.
