The Act to Provide a Naval Armament Page two of the Act to Provide a Naval Armament The Act to Provide a Naval Armament, also known as the Naval Act of 1794, or simply, the Naval Act, was passed by the United States Congress on March 27, 1794 to reactivate and establish a permanent standing naval force of the United States of America, which eventually became the present-day United States Navy.[1]" -wiki

A very important act, because:

"Due to harassment by the French navy on US shipping during the French Revolutionary Wars, Congress created the United States Navy and the Marine Corps. The Act to provide a Naval Armament of 27 March 1794[70] authorizing new build frigates for the war had specified the numbers of Marines to be recruited for each frigate. Marines were enlisted by the War Department as early as August 1797 for service in these frigates.[71] Daniel Carmick[72] and Lemuel Clerk[73] were commissioned as Lieutenants of Marines on 5 May 1798. Under the "Act for establishing and organizing a Marine Corps", signed on 11 July 1798 by President John Adams, the Marine Corps was to consist of a battalion of 500 privates, led by a major and a complement of officers and NCO's.[74] The next day, William Ward Burrows was appointed a major.

In the Quasi-War, Marines aboard the USS Constitution and other ships conducted raids in the waters off Hispaniola against the French and Spanish, making the first of many landings in Haiti and participating in the Battle of Puerto Plata Harbor."



The only way the United States could afford all that was by tariffs on imported goods.

The biggest problem -ever- created by the United States government is the abandonment of American workers and the acceptance of a globalist agenda.

We don't need globalism; we need tribalism. Anyone can be in the Tribe if they put loyalty to the Tribe first and foremost.

Do you know who Philip Nolan was?

Sorry, just realized you are an idiot....carry on.

How is the weather in Dubai?

TheEnemy:

"Deprived of a homeland, Nolan slowly and painfully learns the true worth of his country. He misses it more than his friends or family, more than art or music or love or nature. Without it, he is nothing. Dying aboard the USS Levant, he shows his room to an officer named Danforth; it is "a little shrine" of patriotism. The Stars and Stripes are draped around a picture of George Washington. Over his bed, Nolan has painted a bald eagle, with lightning "blazing from his beak" and claws grasping the globe. At the foot of his bed is an outdated map of the United States, showing many of its old territories that had, unbeknownst to him, been admitted to statehood. Nolan smiles, "Here, you see, I have a country!" The dying man asks desperately to be told the news of American history since 1807, and Danforth finally relates to him almost all of the major events that have happened to the U.S. since his sentence was imposed; the narrator confesses, however, that "I could not make up my mouth to tell him a word about this infernal rebellion." Nolan then asks him to bring his copy of the Presbyterian Book of Public Prayer, and read the page where it will automatically open. These are the words: "Most heartily we beseech Thee with Thy favor to behold and bless Thy servant, the President of the United States, and all others in authority." Nolan says: "I have repeated those prayers night and morning, it is now fifty-five years." Every day, he had read of the United States, but only in the form of a prayer to uphold its leaders; the U.S. Navy had neglected to keep this book from him. This is the supreme irony of the story. Nolan asks him to have them bury him in the sea and have a gravestone placed in memory of him at Fort Adams, Mississippi or at New Orleans. When he dies later that day, he is found to have drafted a suitably patriotic epitaph for himself: "In memory of PHILIP NOLAN, 'Lieutenant in the Army of the United States. He loved his country as no other man has loved her; but no man deserved less at her hands.'"

It just seems like common sense to first De-regulate and give Tax incentives and try and keep the cost of goods low for American consumers instead of starting with a Tariff and causing an initial price increase that chances are will never go back down.

The Federal Government was funded almost 100 percent by tariffs between 1790 and 1860. The Rebellion in the South required extraordinary measures, these were rolled back after the war.

Anyone who opposes tariffs opposes the welfare of the United States.

Well, let's just hope that their seats go to more conservative republicans instead of democrats. Because if they're making a stand against Trump trying to keep jobs in the USA, they will get crushed in their next elections.

---

Since when have trade Tariffs been conservative policy? Just because Trump proposes something doesn't mean you have to blindly support it as a conservative.

Tariffs do absolutely nothing but hurt the consumer. Keep the government out of the market.

It is possible to address both simultaneously.

Ok, but tariff's will increase median prices.

So first, why not fix the problems and try to correct the market without increasing the price of goods for American consumers.
