Thanks for finally stating a fact.
It's a constant moving target.

Wrong. The analogy is absolutely appropriate.
Wrong. Maine and California have the same central bank and same currency. Maine can't devalue their currency to get a trade advantage.

Are you for battling other states for industry via some monatary incentive?

Only the truly naive believe tariffs create jobs---they destroy jobs.
I don't recall y'all complaining about the previous administration's tarrifs. That surely must have been the reason so many were unemployed.

We will certainly have less employment if tariffs go on as Trump wants.

I have complained forever about tariffs. It is simply a myth that we did not have tariffs before Trump.

If tariffs are so bad, why are so many other countries using them to make their domestic producers competitive with ours? Would they not benefit their own countries by eliminating their tariffs by the same logic suggesting our own tariffs are detrimental to us?

you don't remember people complain about Obama buying votes with his tariffs? Why did both Obamas and Bushes tariffs fail?

Why do so many countries with larger tariffs have economies so much smaller than ours?

When was the last successful US tariff? The USA is wealthier than those other countries btw

Definitely wouldn’t have anything to do with natural resources, population numbers, different laws, a constitution, etc., that’s for sure.
Are you suggesting tariffs are good for small economies but bad for big ones? What makes it different?

Because they are smaller countries.....
Now actually answer the question he asked.

No. How did you twist that around?
I am stating the fact that high tariffs hinder economic growth of countries.
