Ramesh Ponnuru Was Smart, Once

Let's not get too detailed here.

Ponnuru pretends that the TrumpTariff impositions are only about import taxes.

Maybe he's a propagandist, because he cannot be that ..........ahhh.........mentally challenged, can he?

It's hardly "just tariffs."  

There are non-tariff trade barriers.  There are pay-backs for US generosity.  There are budget-balances.  There are serious defense-industry considerations.  There are the pharmaceuticals that should be made here, and rare-earths that should be mined here.  And there are American families who would love to see a nice, steady, factory-job income.

Yes, Ramesh, BigBank, Inc., BigBond, Inc., and a variety of Venture Vultures hate tariffs; their bonuses are going to disappear.  Libertarians, who are congenital twits, hate tariffs because they live in an imaginary La-La-Land and like to beggar their neighbors.

We don't care.

We DON'T CARE.
