We're talking about shared borders and shared responsibilities. What a foolish comment from you. At least you made yourself laugh.

@sammiches6859 No other countries have a Constitution like ours that can protect individuals from government through the relatively independent judiciary. That's eroding in the US but I don't know how to build this paradigm over anywhere else. Once the US Constitution is destroyed you can say that the End Times is near.

@AppliedLogic. Your story flawed because the USA became very rich on its own internal industry AND gave money to nations around the world. But this was in the context of WWII and the Cold War. Our biggest mistake was overregulating our own industry and cultivating students to think that the USA is now "Post Industrial" (a Marxist concept) and that people here would get rich either through legal and financial services or they would not have to work at all. A select few would "get rich" programming AI and developing magical Green Energy solutions like Solar power and "Superconductor" transportation not to mention AI robots to even replace white collar work. Even today the biggest threat to Trump's policies is finding who went to our schools who can tolerate the idea of working in an actual silicon wafer production site. No matter the pay. The root problem is that culturally, all of the "liberal democracies" effed up. Because "liberalism" was reinvented under "liberation from Capitalism" rubrics. Tariffs are only a tiny part of that story. The first error was destroying critical thinking in our academies while simultaneously overregulating our own industrial base and gleefully sending the critical "dirty work" first to Taiwan (when actually they were a legitimate Cold War partner from the start) but then deciding that Democracy won over Communism so now it's ok to trade with Russia...scratch that. Now that Russia is a republic it's OK to trade with and boost Communist China by letting them steal all IP and put own own factories out of business. Really?

@ArmantoAlex13 America is not a country, you dope. Canada and Mexico are also in North America.

@ If you're looking for a serious answer I can tell you about casinos and commercial airlines.

@samii6178 Absolutely. Tariffs are only about finetuning and temporary economic disaster relief, not addressing the root problems at all.

@marianmurphy4625 And zero socialism, zero "Administrative law" agencies to fund so that they could rule over Americans like soviet Communists.

@Ommm1111 The criminals operate across borders. This is unfathomable to you? LOL. They're transnational narco-terrorists funded by the CCP their own black market profits.

@Lucentcolors The data from the ports, obviously. That's all you can reasonably mention. We know.

@ Many fences have two sides and each side has a responsibility to maintain this border between properties and nation-states.

@ You Marxists are so absurd.

@ If you're Canadian you don't have one at all. When did Canada ever fight its own battles? Canada is either following the British, the UN and in some cases filling in under US commanders.

@lauthorn Nobody honored the agreement.

@r11tc What "free trade" are you talking about? There is no free trade in the US unless you're a foreign nation. It's free for foreigners to send things here.

@SeanMan1337 A truly multilateral free trade agreement would only contain a single paragraph. Try again.

@gerttopmuller That doesn't make it wrong as a principle or as a policy. Your dismissive comment is that of a Dunning Kruger "unskilled and unaware" buffoon.

@william_marshal Who stated that "level balance of payments" is the end goal? Zero tariffs unilaterally is a step to equalize opportunities in international trade. But there are other issues to contend with because many countries are not interested in synergistic, peaceful development. They're Malthusian sociopaths that can only win by making others lose. Including their lives and "genome". If there are trade deficits on a truly level playing field then that means the ones that merit success are winning. That's fine for me.

@nunyabusiness3666 Like I keep saying, if we had a "level playing field" that would mean ensuring that the costs of doing business were roughly equal. Or gratuitous "regulations" (like "Climate Change" socialism) and so forth are the real causes of our problems. The deficits just help you show the gravity of the situation. The deficits are effects, not causes.

@william_marshal Give me your top 3 critical imports for the USA.

@nunyabusiness3666 He's actually wrong. We only import "critical" things by choice.

@dennislawrence8501 You don't even begin to understand economic analysis. You're using board game logic.

@DigitalBelta Tariffs tax the importer, not the domestic end user or buyer.

Border, not boarder. So if I understand your point it is that, what? Are these alleged imports of contraband going through your customs checkpoints or are they running it through your border like the Mexican criminal terrorists groups bring contraband to the US? So, your point is that the US is "hypocritical" or something because it wants to secure all of its borders? I'm going to assume that contraband crosses all borders in all directions when it finds paths to do so.

The importance of the US Bill of Rights is derived from the fact that they Amended a specific "divided government" Constitution. Without that framework these are just words: Bill of Rights 1689 The Bill of Rights 1689 is an iron gall ink manuscript on parchment. It is an original Act of the English Parliament and has been in the custody of Parliament since its creation. The Bill firmly established the principles of frequent parliaments, free elections and freedom of speech within Parliament – known today as Parliamentary Privilege. It also includes no right of taxation without Parliament's agreement, freedom from government interference, the right of petition and just treatment of people by courts. The main principles of the Bill of Rights are still in force today - particularly being cited in legal cases – and was used as a model for the US Bill of Rights 1789. Its influence can also be seen in other documents establishing the rights of humans, such as the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights.

@ This is all SNAFUBAR "norms" because, erm, Global Social Justice. You're debating Marxists and ignoramuses that don't know they've fallen for stupid Marxist tropes.
