Tariff Deficit Disorder

How can we have an honest conversation about tariffs as public policy, let alone one rooted in first principles, if the conversation changes every five minutes? David uses this podcast to focus the attention where it belongs, to separate categories, and to encourage thoughtful and siloed analysis about the American worker, about tax revenue, about trade deficits, about human rights, and about negotiating tactics -- in a coherent and sensible manner. One may just find that the right policy decision on a given matter is easier to come by with good faith, logic, and conversation than bouncing around without focus or purpose.
