Mom had a great economic insight when she said two wrongs don’t make a right!

Who is ready to march to Alexandria….er, Washington D.C. and fight for this lady in with whom I just fell in love. (Did I really say that that way?)

300% tariff because the 100% tariff wasn’t working? Holy crap! Alice, please show me the way out of this rabbit hole.

Fight for your right for expensive French cheese! Yay freedom for rich yuppies!

Did you actually just miss the whole point or are you just being facetious?

Anonymous August 2, 2009 at 2:47 am: I’m just in a snarky mood.

Damn! I’m searching for the opinion that Don wrote a while back where he illustrated the absurd notion of protectionsim through retaliation by stating [and I'm paraphrasing] that one government turn its guns on its own citizenry while the other government — an adversary of the other — says, “Oh yeah, well watch what I’ll do to my citizens now!”

This cheese tariff really grates on my nerves. I’m hoping that everyone reading this blog has a beef with it?
