re: "Alan Greenspan Blasts Trump's Tariffs as "Insane"" Bloomberg

Yes, we are clearly much better off just carrying on getting bent over by everybody else in the world. Maybe both lose...but when you are the one who has been getting raped for years by your 'allies', I guess doing something to try and level the field is better than doing nothing. Or, when you punch back and hit the opponent in the pocket, maybe they will see that it isn't lucrative to not play fairly anymore. Sometimes tariff wars are necessary unless you are content to just getting screwed to death.
