He’s certainly right about a weakening dollar driving exports.
Theoretically that’s what happens. However, the dollar has been strengthening in 2025, right?

Quick couple of questions...
1) What is Mercantilism?
2) When did it thrive?
3) What has changed economically between Mercantilism and the current era?
Thanks
Second time

That’s also described in the site I linked you. You aren’t educating anyone. You are learning that you are a classic liberal. Glad you could finally come around.

Taxes make the purchase price higher
So do tariffs, which are taxes

Your fishing expeditions are so silly. You binary thinkers have no ability to see anything other than black or white. Not interested in playing your dumbed down games.
You’re a liberal. Glad I could educate you to the fact.

False. Show me where he openly advocated for "open borders". Never happened. All he said was you cannot have open borders combined with a welfare state.
He also stated that if government intervention in trade is unavoidable, a tariff is less harmful than a quota because it at least generates revenue for the government and provides an incentive for foreign producers to offer lower prices.
You went all around the world to still find out a truth. On paper, we can make anything sound great. But then there is reality. Milton understood that.
Which is why you should not place things in absolutes.

Perfect. It’s been 8 months. Show the receipts. You couldn’t figure out that is what he was asking for?

Show me where Friedman advocated for open borders. This post doesn't do it.

Wages up. Prices flat. Tax revenue is at all time high because consumer spending is up. Plus tariffs funding the US Gov in part. Plus jobs pouring in.
You do you.

I'm posting historical facts. I'm posting current facts. Those are not emotions. They are facts. That is why you run to this type of dialogue. You can not counter the facts.

Did you know many original tariffs only applied to finished goods, not components?

you’re so pathetically predictable. Google taught you something that is common knowledge and because you’re an uneducated ignorant moron, you don’t know what you just learned is common knowledge. Don’t you ever tire of making a fool of yourself? You aren’t even aware if it is my guess. Makes sense you’re a liberal. This post was edited on 12/11/25 at 10:33 am

Good. Most modern conservatives have called themselves "classically liberal."

You’re a strange dude. You think basics are complicated.
