We explore the appeal of tariffs which are a featured part of the Trump campaign and element of Biden administration policies, using the Chicken Tax as a case study. We review cases where tariffs might be helpful, and the danger when government tries to influence prices with tariffs and subsidies. John gives a history lesson on The Economist.
A listener chimes in to answer our trivia question and John offers another for next week.
We hear a poem from our sponsor, call out the value of getting the basics right, and applaud a politician for direct, decisive action.
