To Walk or To Not Walk the Tightrope—That is the Question

I don’t know why President Biden didn’t repeal tariffs the minute he took office. They serve no useful purpose, unless the money collected goes to build factories here that would produce the same goods at a high quality.

 

Maybe he thought it would look good to the people who kept screaming, against all the evidence, that the economy was in the sewer, and that tariffs would help. Optics are important.

 

Now we’ve seen that pussyfooting isn’t the answer. Be bold in your convictions. You may lose the election, but you’ll have accomplished something before you go down.

 

Of course, that doesn’t always work either. Far-left politicians were vocal, and go voted out of office. 

 

So—Should you walk the political tightrope or storm around the ground in heavy boots?
