Don,
"credentials "
What like good engineering judgement?
Jack: I don't understand the question. Is not "good engineering" self fulfilling as a credential for EVERYTHING?
Personally, I'm for low cost trade but it needs to be with balance in addition to anti dumping enforcement and indeed markets are disrupted worldwide by such over production to force a burn out strategy & that wastes resources and destroys the infrastructure + environment by means of cheating the rules of the game & that is captured by essentially self regulation.
"We swear it comports, honest, signed the dumper!"
Right?
Right indeed!! But let's not confuse the folly of a result where America wins 0% of the entire enchilada versus the better outcome of achieving a lower percentage of a smaller part of the whole!!
Nevertheless - I agree that tariffs (like most economic levers) are similar to a spider's web - pull on one thread and the effects appear on various other parts of the web!
Trump is playing poker. "I'll see your 10% and raise you 15% more."

Uwe, please forgive the impudence of an ignorant foreigner, but I can't help myself by replying that I now know why America chose the owner of a chain of gaming houses as their President (oops- time to visit the naughty corner again)
