The public had jobs.

Before granting Most Favored Trading status in the 1990s.. the Soybean market.. as well as soybean exports were much smaller.  $8.00 Soybeans were considered a “good” price.

Not everything resulting with expanding that market has been good.. but are tariffs uncertainty the best way to address that? 

We’ve entered an inflationary bubble last seen after the 1970s..  “Land.. not making any more of it.  It doesn’t have to cash flow.. because you can always sell it.”

Welp in the 1980s when exports fell.. that inflationary land bubble popped.. as did other values.  So Markets can correct themselves.

But that doesn’t mean we need to push the afterburners forward on “burning it all down.”

Fortress America.. an island of higher prices is not sustainable.  Econ 101.

Bullying our neighbors and friends with tariffs while defending our enemies.. Russia.. is not a sound policy.
