USA today thinks tariffs are the way to go…

Actually, tariffs work — look no further than China's booming economy for proof

Trump's critics warn that tariffs will harm workers and the U.S. economy. But China's economic history suggests otherwise.

The Unemployment rate for August will come out tomorrow. I heard over the radio that they are estimated that about 165,000 jobs were created last month.

I’m not sure they are embracing Adam Smith philosophy as much as they have embraced communist goverment as long as communist allows em to use their goverment/control to build up China.

They morphed into fascism more than communism these days. Meaning the govt is a complete tyranny, but they allow business to run themselves largely… As opposed to the old USSR where all production was run by the state, or like Venezuela having the military run nationalized business.

I was hoping trade would make them a democratic republic, but it seems to have just made the tyrants rich…

Another sign of how well the Trump admin is running the economy, once again record low jobless claims.

What has the Trump admin done specifically to obtain this outcome?

The parallels are more in line with those of the Roaring Twenties.

Not started a nuclear war, that has to count for something right?

If your media had not been on a irrational hate Trump Jihad for the last two years, you’d know already…

CBO estimates that receipts in July 2018 totaled $225 billion—$7 billion (or 3 percent) less than those in the same month last year. Individual income and payroll taxes dropped by $1 billion, on net.

Just stop going down this path. You’re wrong in every way.

Ok. I’m asking a legit question. The article in the OP doesn’t point to anything specific. You brought up Trump as a cause for this. What are you basing that on?

China's economic nationalism has brought great success

Context is key.

Tariffs work perfectly well at a certain phase of a country’s economic lifecycle.

We used tariffs to great effect when our economy was in it’s developing phase, just like China did.
