[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 4182900, member: 48469"] Funny you'd say that. Trump's tariffs seem very similar to those imposed on foreign goods by the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot–Hawley_Tariff_Act']Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930[/URL]. Smoot, Hawley and President Hoover were all Republicans. Voters weren't pleased and FDR and the Democrats campaigned on lowering tariffs in 1932. Which they did in 1934 with the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_Trade_Agreements_Act']Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act[/URL] after FDR had won the Presidency. Go figure. [/QUOTE]
