A solution to the looming tariff problem
How about this idea on tariffs?
The US should make our tariffs identical to the tariffs of other countries. For instance, if China has an average 10 percent tax on all US goods coming into that country, we should tax all Chinese goods coming into the US by the exact same amount.
If the Chinese raise their tariff, then we match that.
Do that for every single country in the world, even if we have to lower some tariffs to match theirs.
Since the US has an enormous trade deficit with other countries, we’ll end up taxing more of their incoming goods than they will tax products we are exporting to them.
How can you argue with this eye-for-an-eye solution? It’s downright biblical.
