Dham, mabye i didn't stress it enough.
I know life isn't fair, i know tariffs aren't fair, i also know why they are there, i don't have a problem with it, its in each nations interest to look after its national interest first. I'm doing first year uni international studies atm, we do this stuff in great, great detail.
I'm just saying its a: economically counterproductive in the long term b: well...unfair *laughz
The problem is, and its a fundamental one, is that our democratic system does not encourage long term solutions - beacause the politician won't be around to reap the benifits. Democracy is a shithouse system - until we find something better =) but that is a whole seperate thread =)

How can you make a better sheep? A better ton of grain? That only applies to some markets. Really it only applies to top-end secondary and teridtory level economies, australia is still primary (as an example, and i can't see the countries that really need the trade (such as for example, afghanisatan, palastine, name your third world country) exporting top end electronic goods or IT infrastructure solutions in the near future.

I know the one above it did, so did
