[QUOTE="donner, post: 3137787, member: 277"] certainly easy to say if it's not your leg... and it's not necessarily that they are 'bad' for the USA. But they can be used as either economic tools or (in this case) political tools and it's that differentiation that can matter in how they function. Targeting a specific area for a specific purpose is different than putting a wide range of tariffs in place in order to affect change larger trade imbalances. I'm not saying it wont work, but just that they can be used more like a scalpel than a saw. And as others have said, affecting change in one area does not mean there wont be a small, equal or bigger loss in other areas. [/QUOTE]
